·@MtV has posted his annual retrospective look at the year https://omegaforums.net/threads/what-were-your-favorite-acquisitions-in-2024-watches.179362/ which is one of my favourite threads.
This always gets me thinking about my collection, where I’d like it to go and what steps I’m going to take over the next year or so to get it there.
As I alluded to in the above thread, starting my own business in 2024 means watch collecting funds were very low in the second half of 2024 and will continue to be so through 2025. As such I have some loose long terms goals for the next few years, and separate aims for 2025.
My aims for 2025:
1. Exotic Camaro. I’ve had 3 exotics already and they never quite ticked the box for me, due to either condition or being 2 register rather than 3. So I’m still on the lookout for a 3 register 7220 T (3rd ex) exotic dial.
(A couple of pics of other Camaro exotics I’ve had)
2. 60’s Seamaster with uncommon dial types such as textured dials, grey dials, technic and companion.
I love these, even though they’re slightly small for me at 34mm. However, with my watch fund limitations for 2025, this is the obvious place for me to focus next year.
I’m open to what pops up but would like to see another technic dial, a military style, Speedmaster companion and perhaps another linen dial (some examples below).
Beyond 2025 I’d like to think I’ll be able to go after another 321 Speedmaster, hopefully a CB professional and an Ed White, a late 90’s Rolex 16710/16570 and possibly a 36mm Explorer, a vintage SM300 and a vintage Heuer Carrera (as well
As more Camaros, always more Camaros!).
So, what are your watch collecting plans for 2025?
