If the lottery would finally come in. This two or three. Something cushion, something square, a chrono and a dress watch.

A SS, linen dialed, date only, C-Case. That I can afford. Yes, I know: not much in the world of grails, but like I was with Speedys, I was a bit late to the Genta party; now I love the damn things. As apparently do many others.

I am a Connie-less OF member. Man, that鈥檚 an awful thing to see in print. 馃う
But you have taste. Good luck in your search - the linen dial C-case is a great watch.

I understand the shame of been connie-less. I try to makeup with 30 mm. Guys here like to show off馃檮

I purchased a few vintage watches in 2020, so 2021 will be mostly about modern (famous last words). Specifically:

OP 41mm coral
AnOrdain Model 1 Fume (grey dial)

The year of the dial for me!

The new Anordain fume dials on their model 1 look very good indeed

Depending on how the year goes, one of the following three:

-Omega NTTD w/bracelet
-Rolex 5513 Sub (specifically an '87)
-Tudor Harrod's Edition

Some great goals on this thread!

Exact opposite to the O.P.

I would wish to have the resolve to reduce the herd to a ten watch max.
Without wishing to be morbid but as the years go by in my eyes it makes sense to make everything as simple as possible for family before the old 'Grim Reaper' catches up. 馃憤

I have all I want at this point and am not actively looking for anything but if I were to stumble upon a Hamilton 950.

not the 950B... oh no, the older prettier 950. Thats one of the very few things that would pry my wallet open this year.

The only watch I plan to purchase in 2021 is a Daytona. Let's see if that comes true.

A mint Seamaster 105.004.

I know where it is. I just need to wait until he is ready to part with it.

The same watches sort of roll over year to year but I did manage to snag a lovely Seamaster 145.006 off this forum so that is finally off the list.
1/ Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321. Preferably a 105.012 but will take what I can find in good condition.
2/ Heuer Autavia 2446C third execution with GF BOR bracelet. This search for a nice, clean example goes back a long, long way.
3/ Zenith A277, again with the GF ladder bracelet and a clean dial.
There are others, love another Watchco SM300 for example, but one of the above would make the next watch year, a great watch year. All three would have me in the debtors prison...

In no particular order:

1. Good condition, unpolished Seamaster chronometer Ref 168.050 with matching 1170 bracelet. So many 168.050s have corroded dials or badly polished cases.
2. Seamaster Ref 145.006 chronograph.
3. Rose gold Constellation C-case Constellation Ref 168.029. I've only ever seen two -- the stunning example belonging to @micampe and the other overpolished so it looked like a bar of soap.
