    If Omega restarts their military sales program, then a U-2 X-33 Gen 3. If not, then a Nomos Weltzeit in blue.

    Looking to take the plunge into my first JLC. Looking at the Master Geographic of Reserve de Marche. Or Reverso...

    The list is quite long but I think an original Mitsukoshi Speedmaster is on the top of my wants for 2017 - gonna be a tuff hunt :unsure:

    I'll be chasing after one along with you, my friend.

    If not the AP then a black dialed 6239 is my next white whale. It'd compliment my 105.003. Or any first owner that decides to come out of the woodwork!

    One watch only? I hope to snag a mint Speedy Mark III - blue dial with the white subdial. That would be nice.

    ...or maybe 2017 is the year I get my first Seamaster... which one though?

    It's the 60th anniversary of the Speedy (and the Seamaster 300, but I have one of those already; as well as the Railmaster, which is my prediction for Baselworld) ...

    ... so, of course, I want a Moonwatch. (I hereby invite a flame response from @ulackfocus!)

    That Zenith is one of the few "grails" I've never even held, let a lone owned. Would very much like to get one someday. The end of last year was all about downsizing for me, but in the back of my head I keep thinking about the 2500 movement Planet Ocean I sold. Maybe I can get one of those again....

    18K coffin-cased Beta 21 Constellation with the aventurine dial and matching bracelet. Super chunky, funky, and would suit me perfectly.

    Won a "lot of watches" on January 1 that contained the super rare 1969 Doxa Sub 200 T-graph Sharkhunter. I have it on good authority that there are less than 30 known examples of the t-graph in all 3 dial configurations. Didn't really see this watch coming due to the nature of the auction, and I didn't really expect that 2017 acquisitions may possibly be complete on the first day of the year!! Go with the Flo

    A mockup so far but the goal is to build a custom mini pusher single chrono hand watch with a vintage vibe.

    I'm hoping for 2 more Seamasters and a Breitling Jupiter into the new year.
