Who has a plan?

Plan is shed a few and work on the following over the next 10 years

A vintage (50's & 60's), something my grandparents would have worn. 

A early 1900's pocket watch; good or poor condition to tinker with.

A Ranger-esque field watch

A Speedy

A G-Shock that is not a Casioak

Respect the plan, but I don't have one myself.  I've got a shortish list of watches I'd like to get.  As my money reserves build up, I decide what to get next.  Sometimes I save for a bigger purchase, sometimes not.  

What’s your next purchase?

Dw-5600? Yeah boi

I keep a short list with photos in my notes app. the list may change over time as my tastes do and I'm ok with that. I'll know if its worth the purchase if its been on the list for a long time.

Hard to say.  I've wanted to get a BB58 since this time last year.  Events conspired against that last spring, then a string of other purchases kept me from getting it for the rest of the year.  That's still the most likely, but now it's occurred to me I don't have a GMT and maybe I should go that way first.  I think it will depend on how I feel when I both have the money and am sure I don't need it for anything else, which I'm hoping will be in May/June.  We'll see.

The Bel Canto is the only watch on your list I'm not interested in, so I think we have a lot of overlapping tastes.  When is your next purchase?

I'm almost in a one in one out situation. There's only one way I'd add a new watch and break that rule. That would be by adding another watch that both my wife and I could wear. We have that narrowed down to a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 116000 or a 1950's Omega (probably Seamaster, but flexible depending on the watch and condition). After that I have two watches I would consider upgrading, and one that I might be forced to.

1. A Bulova MIL-SHIPS. I like this watch and don't feel the need to upgrade it. However, eventually it's going to need service and I'll need to decide if I want to pay to service or replace an 8000 series Miyota. I like having a vintage inspired diver in my collection. If I were to upgrade this today, I'd be looking at an Omega Seamaster 300 or Tudor Black Bay Heritage. But by the time I'm ready to upgrade, who knows what this space will look like. I keep a mental list of watches in this space I'm interested in for when that day comes.
2. A Bulova Lunar Pilot. I like having a chrono. This watch looks much more expensive than it actually is. My issue is that there are two watches I would consider upgrading this to. The first is the Omega Speedmaster 57 Sandwich Dial. The second is a vintage Omega Seamaster Soccer Timer. These are both going to cost $5k or more. That's not a huge issue, however, the time I wear my chrono most, is actually for attending soccer matches. I see 15-20 matches live a year, and I like using the chrono to time "extra time". I'm not sure I'd feel as comfortable using a $5k watch to do this in a 40k person crowd as I am a watch I paid less than $300 for.
3. A vintage Caravelle Sea Hunter. This is a vintage watch, and at some point there's a good chance it will break in a way that is irreparable. I'd love having a vintage Tudor Ranger or 1016 Explorer, but I'm not sure what I would do if I had to replace this.

Step 1. Buy a Seiko

Step 2. Buy another Seiko

Plan?! 😄🤭🤣😂

I don't have a plan. I fumble around and make mistakes and an occasional hit. Sometimes I get lucky. And than die alone and miserable like anyone else. 

Stunning Cartier though!

My current plan is also over ~18 months, but with 6 watches instead of 8. Going into this plan I have a G-Shock, a couple digital Casios I love (one calculator and one world time), and an inexpensive microbrand skeleton. 

1. Omega Seamaster Polaris (on the way)
2. Omega Constellation '95
3. Mondaine evo2
4. Grand Seiko spring drive GMT
5. Seiko x Giugiaro chrono
6. Mühle Glashütte Panova

Once I'm through this list I'll focus on the pricey grail(s). 

My plan is to chill the hell out on buying watches - wait 5 years and get something special :) 

With a fairly large total collection, I am pretty much done.  That being said, I am allowing my Seiko collection to grow organically, but I don't think I really need to buy anything else.

Would you please move that speedy to the top of your list.  All of WatchCrunch is waiting.

rig me a small lotto win and we have a deal!
