I’m hoping to add these by the end of the year I get these won’t be for everyone. I’m going to keep it to a minimum of three piece. One Grail, One Oversize and One True GMT. In no particular order.
First Watch is this no name 55mm Pilot from Aliexpress.
Second is this Constantin Weisz 1000m Pro Diver in green.
Third this all black Varer 9075 GMT
Well that’s what I’m hoping to add by the end of 2024 although one or two probably will happen within the next few months 🤞 crossed.

These two are on my short list for this year:
The Tag Heuer Aquaracer Solargraph!
Bought this a few weeks back:
Plan on picking this up soonish:
Watches & Wonders approaching soon, so holding off to see what surfaces.
I have everything on my 2024 radar.
Let’s see. GS is on top of my list
And of course, Seiko
And probably other stuff too.
Hopefully adding this soon:
I've got a couple, but they constantly change so no need posting them here. There will be different ones in their place a week from now, lol.
I need to sell some watches first. I’m in no hurry to buy anything. However, that said, I do like the Hamilton Khaki King and the Zenith Chronomaster Sport, white dial.
Hopefully adding this soon:
Never heard of them but looks really cool and I don’t have any German watches… yet.
Picked up a handful of digitals this year to diversify the Casios. Added a Timex and a couple Armitrons. Also bought my first Baby G and my first GMT this year. That pretty much checked the boxes for me, but
I might add another fieldy, specifically the Vaer Tactical Field now that they added a 36mm solar to the line. I already have two Vaer watches and I love them.
I'm also pondering the Speedbird GMT if I can actually snag one.
That's all that's on the radar right now, unless Bulova sees fit to release a 38mm Lunar Pilot. Ahh, dreams...
I got the watches that were in the plan early this year, and I'm happily enjoying them.

I've been trying to educate myself on the German brands, besides the more common ones like Nomos, A. Lange & Söhne, or Sinn:
Glashütte Original
Muhle Glashütte
Union Glashütte
GO is on my list, but this particular chronograph from Union Glashütte really resonates with me.
I’ll be looking for a very specific Rolex 36mm Explorer 14270. I want an early nineties example with drilled lugs.
I wanna replace my Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 42 to the 38mm and also get the Seiko DressKx.
Just bought the Longines Spirit Zulu Time, green bezel. I've wanted it since it came out. Hadn't bought a watch in 16 months, finally did. Unless I suddenly get the call for the Panda Daytona, I don't have another watch on my radar for the foreseeable future.
The 2254 has been in top of my list for couple years ever since I regretfully sold it in 2022. The price for these has been increasing ever since. Hopefully I can get it back this year.
I am holding myself to one purchase per year... but it changes weekly.
Tudor Black Bay GMT, Longines Hydorconquest GMT or Brietling Super Ocean
Tudor Black Bay GMT, Longines Hydorconquest GMT or Brietling Super Ocean
For what it's worth, I tried on the Hydroconquest today along with the Zulu Time and, at least to me, the choice was easy. Got the Zulu Time.
Top of my list was a chronograph, but I checked the box already with this Certina.
I have some few on the radar, but I will be traveling to Japan in the middle of the year, so I want to see what can I find there.
This year.
Formex Essence ✅
Hanhart Silva white dial.
Black dial dive watch.
One watch for 2024 : BB54 or Pelagos 39, my heart is still in balance between this two… and maybe an outsider as the upcoming ZRC serie 1 reissue.
First thing I have to ask is, 55 mm? That is too big for even my 8" wrist.
But what is on my radar?
I have two on preorder:
Xeric Artemis
and
Heron Marinor Carribean Blue
Looking forward to these two.
Nothing else comes to mind but if/when we head up north and go through Cincinnati, I'm sure I'll drop in on my Cincinnati Watch AD and most likely leave with another one from them. I love the one I have.
Seems like it is a micro brand sort of year.
Otherwise, one of two others depending on what my AD offers me come June. Brown & Co. have a one Rolex a year policy for its customers, btw. Either a GMT Master II (Batgirl version) or an OP with Celebration dial, 41 mm.

Lol yeah back during the war Pilots would wear oversized Watches over their jackets. Hence the large or should I say LARGE watches.

Yes, but I'm not flying a plane much less wrapping it around the wrist over a bulky bomber jacket. 😉😂

To each their own I suppose.

Yup. Wear what you like.
Beijing Galloping Horse Tourbillon Watch
