Your wildest watch dreams

What are your biggest dreams when it comes to watches? 

(Can be anything, a grailwatch, something you'd love to be released, ideas for custom pieces, brand moves you'd like etc.)

Since we are talking wildest dream here. I would love to own a Seiko kamikaze watch from ww2

Seikosha, Extremely Rare and Preserved "Tensoku-Tokei" Pilot Watch, | Lot  #54063 | Heritage Auctions

If I had to tone it down I would settle for a IWC but I'm a Seiko fan so owning a piece of history would be cool.

Also the Hanhart 417 is on my bucket list.

That's very very cool! Both watches definitely look interesting, however getting your hands on the Hanhart is probably way easier :)  Good luck!

I love the look of rose gold dress watches, but the cost of a real solid gold case from a quality brand is crazy expensive (for me). I’d love to be able to afford one some day. I like the attached Chopard for instance.

I wish that Grand Seiko would finally release just an utterly tasteless and gaudy diamond encrusted piece of poop, to rival that of the rainbow Daytona. It would be a watch that announces to world, “We’re here, and we can be just as awful as you!”

Oh, wait… they did that already:

I dream of a day where everyone has at least considered a vintage Smiths.

That's something achievable if you really want one and maybe go for something less popular. Good luck!

Haha. I like GS in general, but there's no doubt that some of their watches or elements of them are at least questionable.

I know that feeling! These aren't bad though...

Okay, this is most likely a dream... Good luck though 😅

Probably a rose gold VC Overseas tourbillon with the blue dial. It is just mesmerizing.

One of these two.

The 3970 with the leaf hands is just dreamy.

As for the Starryvarius, I love the idea of not having the same dial than the other owners. The finishing on the dial with the stars is superb.

That's a wonderful watch! What do you think about the new skeleton one?

These are both wonderful! De Bethune finishing is also a literal dream. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing. VC gives great attention to detail to all their models. I do like the skeleton one too. But tbh, there is just something about their blue dials. I think it is the best blue dial watch out there.

That's true. And rose gold and blue are just 😍
