SS Sky Dweller, black Dial. Shouldn't be impossible in 2019.

I had a busy 2018. Purchased my first Speedmaster Pro in February, added three Seiko Turtle variations over May through November, and finished the year with my BLRO delivery a couple weeks ago. Unless something amazing comes out at Basel, I'm goid for now.

Unless I get the call for the Daytona, this will be a "no-watch" year for me, since I am really happy with the state of my collection. Good luck to all those looking to add in 2019!

Never know but if I do get a watch I hope it's either a Daytona or PM.

I didn’t add any watches in 2018 and am still very satisfied with the state of the collection so will probably stay as-is for 2019. But if I do add a new watch, my wish list includes:

Rose gold Lange 1
Patek Philippe Gondolo (white gold)
Tag Heuer Monaco CALIBRE 11
JLC Reverso

I achieved my grail for this year. I got my first Rolex, a sub that I absolutely adore. Next year, my grail would be to get a dress watch on a brown leather band to accompany the sub. Some I'm considering are:

DJ41 fluted w/ white dial and add a strap
JLC Master chrono
IWC Portofino or Portofino chronograph

If I'm going ultimate grail, even though chances are slim, it's a PP 5146G or 5296G.

Beautiful shot! I am hoping to land one of these, new at MSRP in 2019. Fingers crossed! :)

I've also caught the AP Offshore bug and I have been looking at those too. Unfortunately, it will have to be one or the other since both is definitely not in the cards for me.

An early Happy New Year to TRFers! I hope all of your 2019 watch dreams come true!

If I get one, the next will be a yellow gold Day Date 36.
Maybe they will update something this year to breathe a little life in to the classic 36.

No grails this year.

One never knows what opportunities will arise, though.
