Hey ho, I'm not even remotely interested in adding another watch to the meager stable but these are a few watches that are intriguing me these days that don't come 'from' Firenza:

Franck Muller 8880 SC DT
Longines Twin Aperature Date Calender
Ernst Benz Chronoscope
Alpina Avalanche Regulator
Parmagiani Fleurier Kalpa XL Steel
Doxa Sub750T
Cartier Roadster

All very cool watches, IMHO. Man, have my tastes changed big time. LOL

WOW! That's one hell of a wish list

Especially the Ernst Benz

It's only a wish list if my numbers come up this Friday night. LOL

Even if they did, I'd likely only consider adding one or two from that list. Just lots and lots of really nice watches available out there these days.

Very nice list.
One I would like to have, simply for novelty purposes is the Frank Muller "Crazy Hour".
For those not familiar, the hours on the dial are all mixed up, BUT as the watch is running, the minute hand works as normal, BUT the hour hand actually JUMPS to the correct number on the dial.( ie the Hands might indicate 3:30 on a regular dial, but the crazy hour watch would be 11:30)
It would be a real pain to tell the time on this watch, but the complication factor is just too cool

That's a helluva watch, but as we discussed the other day, it would drive me 'crazy' too. That's why I put the FM 8880 up there. His cases and dials are sublime.

I've always liked his Master Banker. Very classy IMO.

Trying to fight the urge, but the ML double retrograde calander is still calling my name.
