New Year, New Watch?

[mamas]

With the coming new Year, every WIS will be making plans for a new watch

what are your plans?

Mine are ordering a watch from Dornblueth and Sohn later on in year, similar to the one wth a PR but raised blue metal numerals at bottom of the article below.

This is a HAND MADE watch in germany costing less than the price of a rolex. They decorate movements by hand, make a lot of the movemnt parts by hand etc.. will also engrave your initials / name on movemnt.

There is at least a year to two yr waiting list as his output is only about 200 hundred year.

GO EVO!

Nice watch Mamas!

I'd like to say what I'm going to buy in 2008, but who knows at this point. Right now, I'd say a white Explorer II and a JLC or GO. Depends on how much of the "watch budget" the baby eats up.

D&S's are very nice.

I have my two Archers incoming in 2008 so aside from that I'm not sure what the future will bring. I would really like to add a Panerai white dial base to the stable, but we'll see.

Nice, mamas!! Dornblueth & Sohne has some great pieces!

A watch made by a small company with a correspondingly low output, yet made with the greatest care and highest attention to detail and quality, is special. My GO has, I believe, greatly elevated my appreciation of the true watchmaker's craft and has absolutely pushed my collection tastes to the next level.

As for me, I don't know. The watch coffers are empty, empty, empty. So... at this point a new watch in 2008 is up-in-the-air. However, I'm pretty sure that my next watch is going to be of the "dress" variety. I have "sport" and "vintage" but the "dress" genre is lacking. I really like the JLC Reverso (as well as the AMVOX), so something like that is now at the top of the wanted list.

Still in a holding pattern I want to see what is announced in the Spring. Would also like to add an AT to the stable

I have a few watches on the wish list: Jazzmaster PR, PO, SMP Chrono, and a sinn 103 or 203. Not sure which ones if any will come in 2008 but hopefully something ;D ;D

Good to see the watch love is back mamas , I wasn't too worried though ;D ;D

For me, I can see a Avalon watch in my future but aside from that.. I think the mortgage will be getting most of my financial attention in 2008! I feel pretty excited at the prospect of making a huge dent in that...... if I do get an itch for a expensive-ish watch, one will go from the current stable to afford it I'd say.

Maybe Explorer 1 Z series with chapter ring. And after that maybe just maybe, I want GMT II-C!!! Yeah, all Rolex what can I do...
