Favourite Watch You've Never Owned

[Maleg]

PP 5316p. On the wish list.

Really wanted Paul Newman's Daytona when it was being auctioned off some years ago but unfortunately, I was outbid.

Or more accurately, I would have been outbid.

All of the ones in my signature, really. I aim to get them in that order, too. Maybe swap the PP <---> AP. Maybe drop the ALS.

Easy. Two tone Cartier Santos. That watch is utterly gorgeous, and more attractive than any Rolex I own, hands down. The artistic design is iconic for a reason. It’s pure art.

Second place is the JLC Reverso.

Those two watches are beautiful. The most gorgeous Rolex, I believe, is the classic TT Bluesy Submariner. The 40mm is too big for my wrist, however. If my wrist were larger, and I could pull 40mm off, I’d be wearing my husband’s Pepsi 16710 right now…

5980R, watch that really turned me onto Nauts and PP, and a Zeitwerk, I came close a couple of times but just couldn't get a good enough deal on them, back when resale was not good.

For even longer, the Cartier Roadster and Tag Monaco have always been favs of mine, might get round to pulling the trigger on one of them one of these days.

SS Daytona from an AD at MSRP.

16570 Polar

My father used to wear his 16750 that I always admired. Once I was old enough to really start getting into watches in the mid 90s ADs were abundant with signs everywhere and ads and I really fell for the 16570, which somehow I’ve never owned. To me it was like the Rolex I knew. My dads watch but more modified and rugged and cool looking with the constant adventurey ads that really reinforced it.

6263. Some day.

For something more realistic, a JLC Master Control Chronograph Calendar

Zenith 16520 white… would love to have a NOS example…

Both of these are near top of list for my next watch.

ALS rattrapante…not sure if it’s my favorite, but it’s up there.

Patek 5004...

16570 Explorer II, polar dial. I've serviced dozens of them and would love to own one.

[996marty]

For me it would have to be a Daytona 6239

[Yoda_Eating_Pizza]

JLC Duometre.

Mesmerized by that snapping seconds.

5 digit TT Blue Submariner. Just something about blue and gold.
I'd be torn between the 5 digit with it's better colours and the better bracelet on the current model.
It's a bit "showy" but not so much I'd feel like Liberace.

SS Daytona MSRP

[White Collar Boy]

I would love to own an Explorer. Somehow, every time I’ve been close, I buy something cheaper though, frittering the funds.

Been chasing my grail around for years now, put a bid in slightly below asking at the height of the market and fortunately it didn't go through. Now just waiting for prices to stabilize before pulling the trigger, sometime this year.
