Hey Gang!

Like most of you I am bored at home and was wondering what do you all plan on buying once this whole COVID-19 calms down. I currently have a DJ41 and plan on getting a ND Sub next!

Feel free to add pics!

denmanproject · 2 April 2020, 08:13 AM

Not a big forum favourite but I have enough Rolex's lol

A Carrera was my first nice watch and wanted a fun chrono so this one fit the bill

It should be here tomorrow

RG YM on OF 37mm to celebrate college graduation!

gnuyork · 2 April 2020, 08:26 AM

Thinking hard about 1 of 4 choices as my first Rolex (but I will definitely wait until the current crisis is over, as I may need the cash for other stuff just in case)...

1. 14060 (m) Sub two line
2. 14270 Explorer I
3. 1675 Explorer II Polar (or black if a better deal presents)
4. OP 39 white dial (will consider 36 and even 34, but have never tried them on, though I do wish the 36mm had the same dial as the 34 and 39)..

Leaning heavily towards the OP as my first, because I'd buy new and get the AD experience, etc. and I think the OP is the perfect every situation type of watch, more so than the Sub, plus I already have the Omega Planet Ocean (arguably better than the 5 digit Sub in some aspects) that was my daily for 4-5 years, but now hardly ever gets worn as my tastes change to more conservative styles without a bezel and date. Though it may make sense to get the Sub or Exp II as the price seems to be going higher used, and the OP will likely be the same for a while... decisions.

JoseR · 2 April 2020, 08:27 AM

Was looking at the Omega AT on leather. Contacted my grey shop and asked for a 10% discount since times are not good and was told can't do it. He gets it from an authorized dealer NIB with original warranty and I guess asking for a discount bites into his margin of profit. Told him if the price goes down to let me know..adios..

jvb.nc · 2 April 2020, 08:34 AM

i have a couple pieces in the pipeline.

i’d love to knock the omega bond and a FOIS speedy off my list, and soon. after that i’m awaiting a blue skydweller from my AD.

then on probably to either a ROO, ROC, or PP5726.

I've just purchased an Omega De Ville Trésor, arrived earlier today but I've also decided to go for a Tudor GMT as soon as we return to some sort of normality. I've been planning on picking one up for 2 years but every time I've come close life has always got in the way.

Bladeshot · 2 April 2020, 08:54 AM

116519LN. Asked my AD to source me one. Been thinking about it for more than a year. Toyed with the idea of a WG Daytona on a full bracelet. This one just sings to me more.

johnorpheus · 2 April 2020, 08:57 AM

TT rootbeer ideally. could go ND sub too.

Beauregard · 2 April 2020, 08:57 AM

Fifty Fathoms.

D.P.G. · 2 April 2020, 08:59 AM

None I have my GMT Master ll (BLNR) and being a pilot it's the perfect watch for me. I'm not a collector just someone who appreciates a perfectly constructed timepiece that serves a necessary function while being absolutely the most comfortable watch I have over tried on.

garbanzo · 2 April 2020, 09:03 AM

I've special ordered it thru my AD and been waiting for it for 3 months no news... hope you can get it soon

What was the process like ordering from AD? I was about to place one for RG YM on OF but then they closed temporarily and will be closed at least for the next month most likely.

dmash · 2 April 2020, 09:36 AM

Who knows, maybe Rolex releases something awesome soon

Old Geezer · 2 April 2020, 09:38 AM

Depends on what interesting piece my AD may offer

When this thing is over? HA just pulled a trigger on another Rolex on Sunday night thinking this thing would be over by April 12th for Easter Sunday! Currently enjoying the No Date Sub, I think you will love it, this thing goes everywhere!!

Depends if the new rolexes ever launch. I’d like to pick up a white explorer or a blueberry

Ocog · 2 April 2020, 10:42 AM

Rootbeer GMT

RTG · 2 April 2020, 10:46 AM

Blue Sky-Dweller... nothing else I’m chasing. I guess if some of you doomsday-wishers are right I’ll pick up a white gold Yacht-Master II if prices drop enough

Wcdhtwn · 2 April 2020, 11:09 AM

SkyDweller Blue. I’m next at my AD, but thinking about something else while I’m waiting. Leaning Panerai, but other watches also have my interest which is paralyzing me on pulling the trigger.

chloebear · 2 April 2020, 11:40 AM

I "need" a dress watch. Been on the hunt for a couple of years. I finally realized why I couldn't pull the trigger; I couldn't justify $10,000 to $15,000 on something I'd wear once per week. Was thinking Rolex Cellini Time (rose gold), Lange Saxonia Thin, Vacheron Patrimony, Patek Calatrava. All lovely watches, but now I'm thinking:

JLC Geophysic 1958, JLC Master Control, IWC Ingenieur, Cartier Drive or Clé.

As far as Rolex I've been thinking hard about a Sea-Dweller or an Explorer.
