Ok Greg...great topic for the new year!

I'm going into 2016 with the drive to reduce the numbers just a bit (get rid of the pieces that aren't getting the wrist time and send them onto someone who will enjoy them). ThumbsUp02.gif BUT...so far in the new year I've managed to actually add a few to the lineup early in the year!!!crap.gifsubtlelaugh.gif

So added already: A couple Seiko Turtles (the Pepsi and Blue versions) - no brainer adds and I'm glad I added them as they are so well done. The Zixen DSR was the other one added thanks to you and Phil (enablers that you are!!!) Very unique and well built piece as you know!

So what else is floating the boat?
Already pre-ordered the Aquadive Bathyscaphe 100 GMT (ORANGE), so I guess you could consider that one in the incoming bucket (hope it arrives soon, but I know Ben is completing orders in the order they were placed)

Also preordered the Raven Defender from Steve at Raven/Benarus - a bit of a Pilot/Compressor/Diver all-in-one...love the design and the preorder deal for 1 or more versions was an absolute steal IMO!!!

What else has my attention lately? In no particular order, since I lack focus...subtlelaugh.gif

Tudor Black Bay Black
Alpina Alpiner 4 lineup (gmt or 2-register chrono)
Sinn U1 or U2 or ...
VDB No Limit
Rolex Explorer II

What do you have your eye on in 2016?

Well Chris I'm glad you asked.. I just now pulled the trigger on the Edox Hydro Sub. Great price from Ashford. I'm going to get a Heroic18 but now I have to sell one or two. Alpina Alpiner 4 and an H2O.

So what ones are you looking to unload? Checkout link to Edox. I watched a youtube video of the watch and the dial looks great...

Wow...the Edox Hydro Sub looks unique and well made (and at the pricing on Ashford, ...wow, tempting!). Can't wait to see what version you went with! A cool one that I'm completely unfamiliar with until you mentioned it! thumbsup.gif

That Heroic18 is a cool one too...looks like you are choosing to go with substantial pieces with your recent additions, no small wrist options need apply with both of those! (Love the excellent sandwich dial, and casework on that one, and Phil's incredible pics are a huge enabler...the force is strong...)

Which ones to unload...that is something I need to fine tune (Oris Small Seconds, VDB 2014 - as much as I love the design I think it might be too large for me, Ball Spacemaster X-lume....) I've got some focusing to do...

What's going on here !? peace.gif


Some interesting pieces on your list Greg and Chris !


The year started a bit too fast for my taste.
Four new pieces in January & February. crap.gif



For this year I have an eye on several pieces. Like every year... subtlelaugh.gif


After I bought a Sinn I need another Sinn.
The Sinn U1000 chrono is absolutely awesome.

Another watch from Clemens (H20/Helberg).
Maybe the ORCA or the new Marlin.

I like the ORIS Aquis line.
So maybe the grey dialed version.

Maybe another from ZIXEN.


Already preordered:

CREPAS DecoMaster
Tactico Anko
