What’s going to be your next watch and why

Looking in Baltic's direction at the moment, the why? Why not 😄 LOL

They also have GMT coming up.....

PRX since I need (want?) a quartz beater. Except my G-Shocks, all others are mechanical, and sometimes I just want to grab a decent looking quartz without having to futz with it. Laziness and convenience trumps most all. 👍

I’m contemplating between these right now…why?!! No reason I just want it…

Started looking at perpetual calendar watches ,the way they track days months and years just amazes me , trouble is their quite expensive

The new Bulova Lunar Pilot Panda or the Momentum Sea Quartz @ChrisInEdmonton referenced above. Looking for a pick up anytime and go without setting it quartz but waiting until the end of the month just in case there is a possible Q1 rumored drop of a watch I really want (but is almost never available for sale).

Probably a Devil Diver because it’s a basket case, it’s in my possession as a parts donor for a job, but I’m becoming increasingly smitten….

The Seiko SPB299 and SPB151/153. Want to complete my Seiko diver trio, already have the 62mas.

Seriously looking at picking up a white dialed Sinn 104, as it's been on my want list for a while now, but internally debating whether the increased prices over the past couple years still makes it a worthy buy or if I can find a better priced alternative. Open to being talked into/out of it by you guys 😜

This is the second probably-must-have watch you've dangled in front of me within a week. I'm very cross with you.

Strongly tempted to reserve one of the upcoming Traskas this weekend, but since @ChrisInEdmonton seems intent on making sure all--more than all!--of my money's already spoken for, I may have to pass.

I am debating between another Hamilton, one I know is getting disco’d or just saving for my current top dog, Fortis Fleiger.

The Fortis why is that it is just an amazing piece. Checks all of my boxes. The Hamilton why is that I am loving on manual wind watches and it is a config I really dig that will eventually go away. I am still having some doubts about buying the 38 vs. the 42. I think a lot of my second guessing comes from the fact that it is a thin watch too. I guess after wearing divers for so long the Hamilton feels smaller than it is.

UPDATE: I pulled the trigger on the Sea Quartz 30. Since it won't arrive until July, it almost certainly won't be my next watch, but now it's assuredly among my next watches.

Why?

1. @ChrisInEdmonton is a bad, bad man.

2. Have you seen that thing? Few things are so squarely in my retro wheelhouse. Probably because:

3. I was born in 1977, so this sort of counts as a birth year watch.

4. It's quite a bit of watch for really not much money at all.

5. I'm half-Canadian (seriously!) by birth. Sometimes I feel certain vague obligations to enterprises on that side of the border. Sometimes I just like to arbitrarily invoke my Canadian half as an excuse for having done something or another. Which I suppose is what I'll try with my wife when this watch arrives!

good call on Fortis. That's a brand i very much want to see in person. If only that Triple GMT was a bit smaller...

Tudor Pelagos 39mm I 🤔 think

This is a stunner. Great pick!

I’m waiting on these:

Well that's a loaded question.

Next is a tie between the DIY Watch club diver, a PRX, and Brew.🤔🤷‍♂

Idk there's quiet a few..it's maddening.

The Bertucci E-1 ballista. Saw it at a local shop. Now I'm kinda obsessed with it.

lol

I’m hoping the Harrod’s Tudor Black Bay at the end of the month when I’m in London. Would love a unique timepiece to commemorate my first trip to the big smoke!

Finally got to try a Seamaster 300 pro green (The seaweed) today😍😍😍 Well, all other bets are now off. It’s that good.

San Martin does make a good watch. Some could argue that they're clones, but I've seen some originality in some of their offerings.

That Bell Canto is gorgeous.

If I can behave myself and actually save money?

One of these two, favoring the latter.

This is my next one and going to be my daily for now on . Same one Al Bundy wore on the TV show Married with children. Awesome show !!! To be honest my favorite show besides Sopranos .

I have the top hat explorer, blew my mind.

Versatile watch with additional complication I haven't had yet (including the case design, both function and shape).

Also I would like to have a nice dress watch for my next birthday next year (40) and this sweeps the mid-tier non flashy brands I want to build into my collection - GS, Zenith, and JLC.

Aiming and saving for a nice watch that I can pass down keeps me from accumulating quantity over quality and concentrates my watch collection budget in pieces I wear frequently.

I have a list 😅. The VERY next watch… will probably be a Citizen Promaster automatic.

That speedy is clean!! I am contemplating a seamaster as my first omega here soon!
