Since I am an 18 year old student that doesn't have much money(to spend on a watch, and I'll have to pay for my own college education...)

There is only one watch on my list for this year:

The Hamilton Khaki Field mechanical Officer H69419363.


Picture from hamiltonwatch.com

I really need a watch for daily wear and tear because I don't wear my Cartier to school and work.

Gotta love a handsome field watch.

Very sensible choice considering you got school and everything!

Lots of history with Hamilton and value for money!

There are a couple...

This is incoming:


As is this:


And I've got my sights on this as the "big one" for 2013:


Aside from a couple of G-Shocks that I have my eye on, that about covers it for me.

Not sure yet, I'm at a really happy place with my watches at the moment.

Maybe a TAG Heuer F1, or a vintage or modern Seiko?

With any luck my Dornbluth will arrive by March. Other than that I likely won't have anything else for 2013 with the new addition to the family in February, but may scrounge enough from the couch cushions for a decent Flieger chrono.

I'd like to trade my GMT this year, but I don't know if I will. Otherwise I do plan on picking up a Boschett Ocean Mariner in blue. I have a black one already and love that so I thought I'd add the blue.

Would love to get a 5513, and still dream about a 15202 and TTP '68, but since I picked up a 114060 a couple of weeks ago, I'm strangely, completely, content.

On the screen for 2013 - The Grand Seiko Hi-Beat, unquestionably one of the best made and best looking watches in the world.

I don't plan to get anything during 2013. I will be saving for a special Royal Oak to celebrate my 40th birthday in 2014.

I see this watch in my near future! :)
I have been looking at a Bell & Ross for over 5 years and finally decided it was time.

Birth year Rolex, assuming I can hunt down their wrist mounted sundial ;-), otherwise something "tropicalized".
