My (admittedly not very successful) watch buying diet will soon come to an end and I’m trying to decide what to get next.

Rest assured I will make this decision based on what sings to me most and I recognise that it may take some time for my name to pop up on the waiting list - but I’m nonetheless interested to give the TRF community the opportunity to opine on how I should spend my cash!

I currently have three ROOs (panda on steel band, CE diver and CE44) and a medley of Rolexes - all of which are staying.

These are the list of watches currently in contention, in rough order of priority - though this prioritisation changes by the day.

Patek 5726 grey dial on steel - this is the current front runner. I don’t own a PP, like the idea of an annual calendar and think this piece is gorgeous.
I have been training myself to get used to the 40.x mm size, though am still drawn to larger watches

AP 26574 - perpetual calendar , blue dial. Great complication, looks fantastic- but it’s expensive and I’d take a bath if I ever resold it

AP 15400 blue dial - I’m also tempted by the ruthenium dial, particularly given that it’s going to be a LONG wait for a blue dial version....unless I just go the grey route, in which case I could have this one next week

AP ROO 25 - If the ROO 25 is anything like the original (pictured in the post below), it will be amazing. If I didn’t already have 2 other ROOs, I’d get this one in a heartbeat

PP 5164 - It was the 5164 that first drew me to PP (RG pictured in my wrist shots which I’ll post below, but I’d get the steel version) - so this model is clearly in contention also.

AP ROC Blue Dial - I’m still not sold on the current version with silver sub-dials - though the previous version with the solid blue (26320st) is under consideration

AP RG 44 (old dial) - I love this piece, but with the CE44 (a more practical daily wearer IMHO) already in my collection, I’m not sure that I can justify picking one up unless I get a great deal on one

I’m interested to hear your views!
