Since we are almost into the end of the 2nd week of 2008 (boy time flies),
what kind of watches are you hoping to see this year?
Big? Bling? Small? Colourful? Technical? More complications???Cheaper but better?Exotic?

Or just some new designs?

What kind of qualities or character will you be on a lookout for?

(Wanted to set a poll but realize I am a goon at it )

 

[Tom Barry]

A Breguet I can afford! Or better yet to be in a position to afford a Breguet!

 

[wilfreb]

a 43mm rolex submariner for $3,000 will be perfect.

 

[timefinder]

A stainless steel version of the Presidential

 

[Slife]

Some kind of new Rolex sport model.

 

[boscoe]

A $1,000 mechanical minute repeater.

We can dream, right?

 

[nickdolin]

Some more Swiss Made Invicta's.... maybe some more offerings from Bernhardt? Not sure, I just buy what I like at the moment....haha.. I don't aim too high but my aim is raising! Haha... used to troll around the >$100 range now I'm in the 2-300 range and the watches are nicer!

Since we're wishing.....

1. Something snappy for Rolex's 100 year anniv. Either some strong sports model revisions or a new datajust design for the next 100 years.

2. Seiko to import their Japan only models to the US

Now THAT's a good idea!

A new Rolex design, the magnitude of which we could never imagine.

 

[Slife]

I want to see a totally un-conservative design from Rolex. Some new really unexpected watch.

 

[foghorn]

Now THAT's a good idea!

But then they wouldn't be "Japan only" models!!

 

[mgiraz]

A modern size reproduction of a Gruen curvex with a mechanical movement.

 

[bullosa]

A Ball watch with milgauss rating would be good. Aslo a Grand Seiko at 43mm?

 

[ru06]

The Omega 2254 with a Co-Axial movement. 7-10 years between oil changes!!

 

[jdp87]

I want to see a double split Daytona, or a flyback. I think that would be cool.

 

[boscoe]

My official WTF Limited Edition.

 

[alwaysfreewilly]

I am enjoying the replies here. I suppose unusual designs with Japan movements to make it affordable!

For me, I am hoping to see more great horological work from IWCs, GP and A lange.

As for the watch to get, I am starting to get attracted to german-made watches.

 

[wilfreb]

in tourbillon from invicta will be cool.

 

[arielr22]

in tourbillon from invicta will be cool.
