Unless my taste or philosophy changes, I don’t see any major moves this year. My collection is pretty dialed in, currently.

5164R is one of the best under the radar travel watches. Looks like a toys-r-us watch for the non-horologist.

It's ok, they are my ad for several years and I have a very good relationship with them. They keep it locked up until my sweaty pores can besmudge it

I agree

And I'd also would want to know I'm the 1st person wearing my watch , and then if I choose to let someone in the store try it in , that's my decision

For 2020 same since 1999 keep on loving my little 5066 . The dial and the date placement makes me very content.

I am hoping to either get a 5524G + 5168G bundle OR 5235R + 5164A pairing. Hard choices indeed.

Big moves for me... :/

-celebrate 2 years on the 5712 waitlist

-celebrate 1 year on the 38mm ROC waitlist (26315-white dial with blue sub registers)

-enjoy the snow globe that AP gave me when they wouldn’t take a deposit.

-take a huge beating and sell my 42mm zenith chrono that is way too big for my small wrist.

Stretch goal - try not to get coronavirus

Very, very nice!

Lucky that you were able to get a different colored strap, too. Patek frowns upon that lately. :(

Congrats, and enjoy in good health!

The wait to get this reference in the UK is a comfortable 2-4 years.

I really have no plans. Im all set and satisfied with my Rolex collection. I did pick up a new VCO at the end of last year, my largest purchase so far. Been looking at a new Planet Ocean lately and went back 2nd time today but didn't pull the trigger, didn't sing loud enough, still feels a little heavy on the wrist. I might just get a micro brand Sub I've had in mind and call it a day for now. No rush, I'm fulfilled and happy enjoying what I have.

So far, I do... I need the 2nd time zone all the time for work and the way it is implemented is just so handy. Also the size is just perfect to me. It's a tough one for sure, also because of the honeymoon phase of course, but as it stands now, the 64 is a winner.
