Not a theme for me ...

Just a deadly wish to have a UG like yours or better like my friend's one.
Compressor, cool dial paired with a historical movement.
Cheers,

" . . . covet thy neighbor's w . . .
By: Dr No : January 16th, 2014-11:06
. . . atch." Ok, guys, you all know the feeling: you're scanning PuristSPro, and all of a sudden, wham! - a watch pops up that you're just nuts about. Except, it belongs to someone else. Damn! Here's a few of your watches that drive me crazy. First, a Gla...
What a topic...
By: Baron - Mr Red : January 16th, 2014-11:30
....I think I will need a bigger hard-drive....so many watches I covet!! I'll take ALL of Iceman's offerings for a start!! Uhm, quite a few of Nicolas and Blomman....oh this is going to take a LONG time. Looking forward to this.
I'll take...

Great Topic!
By: Mike1066 : January 16th, 2014-12:14
First watch that comes to mind - Nicolas's 7924 BC. But he knows that already! Additionally, Bill's 5510 BC. And yes, he knows that already, too! Other than that, there are some very rare and very nice watches on this site, but none of them are ones that ...
MY watch du jour?
By: Mike1066 : January 16th, 2014-13:13
That's easy - a 16600 for daily use. Also have a 1665. That's the whole collection. Both great pieces! V/R Mike
Looking forward to it!
By: Mike1066 : January 16th, 2014-13:15
I have a feeling it will either have a Big Crown or a "Submariner" in the title. Or both! V/R Mike
This is an easy one for me as Nicolas knows!
By: timerider : January 16th, 2014-12:15
His Breguet makes my heart hurt every time he shares it with us! I have also added my latest catch from JLC that helps me remember what day it is and when to wake up ;0).. The Omega Railmaster is also killer--thanks Art. The JLC is for Ken, he is waiting ...
. . . nuthin' better than . . .

. . . a mint example of a CK2914, Tim. Just as nice - yes. Better? Man, that's a tough 'un! . . .
I want to be a fly at a NorCal Gang GTG

This Dufour is my lust: The gang just are tremendous collectors. I got to see Jeff's new Voutilainen Chrono in person here in Philadelphia. Just incredible. But I also could shop till I drop with Samwan's inventory! Too many to show. I think Sam's taste i...

. . . your watch of the day? . . .
Oh, how could I forget:
By: 4Js : January 16th, 2014-12:28
JLC TTP 65. I do not know who to give this pix credit to, but I just love it. It seems like the entire community has this watch except me. LUST !! ...
Without calling any names...
By: blomman Mr Blue : January 16th, 2014-12:41
Art, I am not sure I am comfortable with this theme... It opens up a lot of "old wounds"... And reminds me of many watches that I have repressed and finally got out of my primary focus! :( This is far from all watches here in the forum that have caught my...
And understand...
By: blomman Mr Blue : January 18th, 2014-02:35
Why I am not very happy to open these wounds....? Best Blomman
Ahhh what a subject!...
By: MattS : January 16th, 2014-13:03
Sounds like the ultimate wishlist!... Ubik's Big Indian, couple of Breitling AVI and CP...actually most of his watches! Ztirual's 2998 Speedmaster, Military Big triangle SM 300, 13 zn...well most of his watches as well!!! Noodia's Siffert Nico's 7924...an...

Here's the first image of Black Connie . . .

. . . that I saw, back in '05 on another forum. It belonged to Phil then, and was constantly on my mind for years. At one point, we were engaged in a trade for my Mk II, but weren't able to complete it for some long-forgotten reason. Not long afterwards, ...
Isn't it amazing . . .
By: Dr No : January 16th, 2014-14:12
. . . how an image can capture our imagination? That one pic, which didn't quite capture the rose gold accents, was ever so vivid in my mind before getting lucky enough to land it . . .
Picture?
By: nilomis : January 16th, 2014-13:59
Cool ...
By: nilomis : January 16th, 2014-14:08
Do you want to enter the same donation pool that Blomman is in (for the poor people of South America -- e.g. me)? Tomorrow I will post two VERY exquisite UG Polerouter Sub. Today's one and another with a dial that I never saw here. Cheers, Nilo

By: Spellbound : January 16th, 2014-18:19
Great theme. For me, I'll not mention Iceman's overly coveted 8171 but start with the less obvious. These ones really hit the spot for me: First and foremost, SteveGs Reverso Chronographe Retrograde Minutes Secondly, samwans exquisite Lang & Heyne Thi...
Do we really need to go through all this dear Art?
By: Ares501 - Mr Green : January 17th, 2014-01:02
Sadistic theme for sure but as would our dear consigliere say sometimes little pain is good Know fact is that I'm Nicolas groupie so I'll start with his collection that is very coveting... Hunting me since day one Let's have few for coffee and one from ro...
Not a bad taste ...
By: nilomis : January 17th, 2014-02:55
Damjan, I could live with most of your choices, except the ones without a running seconds (my fault, my OCD). Cheers, Nilo
OCD that's me! :)
By: Ares501 - Mr Green : January 17th, 2014-03:00
You have point no seconds on watch drives me crazy as much as date is driving Nicolas :) but if he can make exceptions sometimes so can I ;) Best my dear Nilo Damjan

I think I need a limit on this! Just 3

I wouldn't want to be thought of as greedy! In no particular order of preference... Each for very different reasons..... adorable trio ...

That's a hard one Art...
By: Mark in Paris : January 17th, 2014-08:38
We've all experienced this feeling but, surprisingly, I can't find easily the one I would pick. I can easily understand though how this 2648 Omega could have entered your hall of fame list. I would say this one for me: Have a great week-end, Mark ...
There's no coveting here Art...But!

You are ready for JLC, my friend. ;)
By: amanico : January 17th, 2014-12:31
Just to give some company to your Polaris 68! A connoisseur selection, for sure. But could we expect less from you? Best, Nicolas
If you know of one I am more than ready.
By: Ubik : January 19th, 2014-09:09
The trick is to just make sure everyone you hang out with is a bigger connoisseur than yourself. Which is easy to do around here.

Mad, yes maybe...
By: Tim Jackson : January 17th, 2014-13:34
A fairly classic style selection with the exception of the HM4, which for some reason I love... The other MB&F pieces don't do it for me! Even the LM pieces so far haven't got my blood rushing!!! As much as I appreciate them for all their designs, fun...
Confession time: I'd totally forgotten . . .
By: Dr No : January 17th, 2014-13:43
. . . about the UJ chronometer. I recall its introduction some time back, and being technically as well as aesthetically intrigued. Most definitely, one to covet . . .

I am not sure if
By: Gav : January 18th, 2014-01:55
I will ever add this Gmt as I am not actually a gold person. Will probably be the 1675. But I am sure the TT DSA will the last to be sold.

Montblanc Villeret 1858 Email Grand Feu 41mm I saw it, I tried it and I hesitated because of the colour of the dial (white). I wanted black dial. The watch was available both in white and rose gold. One week later when I went to buy the white gold one I w...
