If you could get any watch at retail...

Now that it's easier to get watches from boutiques and authorized dealers, what difficult to find watch would you want to add to your collection? I get the sense it's a good time to put your name down

If I could, I would hop in a DeLorean and drive back to 1948 and pick up an Omega Centenary, or back to the 30s and pickup a Longines Weems.

Can we stop in 1957 and 1958 so I can pick up a trilogy set and a few Rancheros?

I would fill the DeLorean with every patent filed from 1950 onwards and just stay in 1948.

The reference 126506 👍
I was about to say, "we'll arm wrestle for this", but saw your wrist shot (more importantly, your wrist)... I'll continue to bribe my SA..

If we're talking about current production models, Patek 5712 1/R. The steel version is cool too. Hmmm a Snoopy would be nice. I don't ever plan on buying a modern omega speedy so I wouldn't have enough purchase history to be considered one lol no relationship either. None of these watches became easier to get at an AD :whipped:

I would immediately go and buy the FP Journe Chronometre Bleu.

Well, maybe not immediately as it's still pretty expensive even at list price.... 😉

Hmmm 1963 please and I'll buy as many Paul Newman Daytona's that I can afford in various dial and case configurations.

Take the Delorean to ‘71 and get the JLC Memovox “Egg” Ref 3072-916, and also get 15 more for spare parts.

I’m trying to sell a few Seikos to save up for this. I think they give you a glass of champagne when you buy 😀

So Omega isn't good enough for you guys? As a fan boy (fan grumpy old man) I would choose the Globemaster.

Probably the most underrated watch in Omega’s catalog.

I get one if they would drop the pesky date window. the 6 o'clock aperture is certainly the most balanced but still, make ONE without it already? Nope, they keep adding it to more.
