What watches are you looking to acquire in 2024?

[brahmabull]

2024 is around the corner. Time to make my watch wish list.

my 2024 focus will be vintage and modern rolex, with a touch of grail Panerai watches (I know, long shot but got to try. lol)

for vintage: 1675 Pepsi, 16710 coke, double Red Sea dweller and a 6350 explorer

for modern: 126710 Pepsi and Batman from clean factory, Daytona Ghost from BP factory

grail Panerai: 212, 213, 163, 253, 286

hope to cross off most on the Rolex list. A grail Panerai would be icing on the cake.

what is on your 2024 wish list?

what is on your 2024 wish list?

The same as on my 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 wishlist ... a proper Speedmaster-Rep, HQ Reps of Zenith and A. Lange and a RO Chrono Rep with Gen-Thickness and they will be on my 2025, 2026, 2027 and so on wishlist too ;-)

Do you believe a proper Speedmaster will ever be produced?

Do you believe a proper Speedmaster will ever be produced?

I hope so. I don´t know why a clone movement of the Speedy should be harder to rep than Rolex´ 4130

Most of what I'm looking to "acquire" will be builds I do myself. I think I'm just about out of things to buy new from dealers, barring some new model coming out.

There will be lots of variations on 4 digit Rolex models, a few vintage Panerai, and maybe some odds and ends that show up on M2M...like some of the hard to find, long discontinued NWBIG reps that I get lucky and buy before someone else does, lol.

Also, I'm a sucker for a fixer upper, so I'll be snagging whatever "just needs a [insert the "sounds easy but is probably a huge pain in the ass" part or service here]"

And gen. Going to get back into gens in a somewhat focused manner. A few things that no good rep exists that I've been toying with buying for far too long. A Reverso, an Explorer 4 digit, an Omega 2531.80, and a Pie Pan Constellation. Possibly a Brietling Colt. Mabye a pre-'50s Rolex, love the smaller, simpler, understated ones with the raised indices and hand finishing.

Well, I'm really not in Pam's but my brother fixed me on
Don't like the new ones, for me must be some oldschool - stuff like 111, 1950, 1312/13 and who knows, if I find a connection to Belkin ...
A lot of stuff to read.

Love my oldschool submariner but going to take another, modern one ore perhaps a seadweller (ore both )

Dream would be an 6263 Paul Newman and if I could find, a good vintage Breitling - navitimer ...

 

[TESLA760]

Still looking for the best sub

 

[rolex4me]

to answer your initial question,
I will get an Air King in 2024.

I already had one and unfortunately sold it (not in the forum).
Since I miss this watch so much, it is at the top of my list for 2024.
I would NEVER have thought I would miss a watch as much as this ordinary Rolex.

 

[Mkempes]

Pam574 and Rolex 14060. Both not available as reps, so I might well buy gen.

Or try to mod myself a 14060. Let's see.

 

[PlastikMan]

2024 will bring me a Belcanto Wave edition

 

[Moondar]

Looking to have a Royal Oak in 18K RG built. It's going to be a tough decision on who to use/trust. If anyone has any advice from prior experience it would be greatly appreciated. I'm in the CONUS. Thanks and good luck to everyone with their acquisition goals for 2024!

 

[Reaps]

Blaken Vintage Daytona
Platona - when they fix the fuckin Clean clasp
126x Le Mans
VC222
Vintage Daytona - still debating. JKF first, if I like it, modded, if I love it - v72
RXWH Glashutte SeaQ
Omega Moonshine 18k Sedna Rose Gold - ST19 rep

 

[hupholland]

well, a 14060 would be nice for Christmas 2024

 

[Dave2302]

This year all will be what I call mid tier, (circa £300 - £400)

1) Omega Seamaster 300 Blue Dial and Bezel with SS Mesh Bracelet

2) Rolex Submariner 41mm 126613 Bluesey 2 Tone VR3235

+++++ ?????

 

[Dave2302]

Well, I decided to buy a couple more watches late last night from UK TD, but didn't quite follow the list above .............

First I bought IWC Aquatimer Chrono 44mm and then decided on an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 41mm

I'll still keep the JB Anniversary Seamaster 300 Blue Dial and Bezel with SS Mesh Bracelet, and the 2T Rolex Bluesy Sub on the list for 2024 though

 

[Labedudel]

I will only get a rep of the Rolex Sub Blaken or Black Venom in 2024 and a Yachtmaster Rhodium 40mm.

 

[Adam_Smith]

I'm going for a Tudor BB54 in blue... When someone releases a better version than the ZF's one.

 

[pam63C]

I am looking forward to a super clone of the Cal 4401 so we can be pampered with a range of gen-sized AP Royal Oak Chronograph in 2024.
