Hey guys,  what's your planned purchases this year ? Created your list (also the watches you have already bought this year or already preordered) ! And as a bonus, I have set a small survey. You must estimate how much watches buys her this year. My list: > SEIKO SBDC001 (already on my wrist) > Vintage VDB 2014 (preordered) > CREPAS L'E Ocean (preordered) > Helberg CH6 (preordered) > SEIKO SBDC007 > Raven Deep Tech > Helberg CH1 (maybe) > another ZIXEN (maybe) > ZENTON E44 (maybe) Come on guys, your turn !  |

He he! I already bought 1, so only two more to go if im going to stand by my vote. My wishlist for this year in no particular order: * Sinn U2. * Omega PO (very unlikely due to its price). * A Glycine Airman. * Heuer Autavia. * Armida A1 Bronze (with the ETA-mov). * Hamilton Khaki Titanium (PVD version).

Great thread Phil! You guys have some sweet ones on your radar for the year! I've got EXACTLY (spooky) the same preorders as you in the queue Phil! plus one more...Pre-orders: Vintage VBD 2014 Crepas L'Ocean Helberg CH6 MKII Project 300 (plankowner and don't know if it has any hope of being delivered in 2014...arrives when it arrives) Already arrived in 2014: Helberg CH1 Vintage VDB 2013 Vintage VDB 2011 On the radar for 2014, but I tend to get distracted easily  ...so who knowsMaranez Bangla (probably going to try one soon...price is irresistable IMO) Omega Speedy Sinn U1 or U2 Tudor Pelagos and Heritage Chrono Something from Aquadive??? (I like the new GMT) Something from Rolex??? Something from JLC??? Something from Panerai??? Something from historic Anonimo (Professionale maybe)??? .....??? Can you tell that I lack focus this year?  |

stew77 wrote: Great thread Phil! At first, Chris, you have the same exquisite taste like me !  The Project 300 was unknown until now for me. Nice Omega homage. Three watches already arrived - good start Chris !  I agree with you Chris, Maranez Bangla is a top offer. Like the titanium case with cali dial. But the rest of your "maybe list" are quite expensive ! I think you will go your way ! I am looking forward to see what you guys purchasing this year.

I'm excited about the preorders that are already in place. ...the Zixen brand from your list in intriguing to me as well (there are a number of models in their lineup that do look very sweet)...and that Seiko SBDC007 is also a nice one...tempting for sure! Looking forward to seeing what's on everybody's radar this year! |

Jeff & Chris, thank you for clear up my question ! But I can not assign the blue regarding Batman.  Batman is all black... |

Chris, thanks for clear up again ! Of course, the oldschool Batman !  Now it makes sence ! But I think the Rolex GMT looks better with the vintage blue like Batman. |

Is Rolex releasing a "stealth" version of one of its models? I remember seeing a photo of one with a all grey/black dial and indexes. Would fit the modern batman aka "The black knight". Found the photo... Dont know if its a prototype, fake or a real model. Looks cool though!

Nice stealthy Rolex Patrik. But without the green lettering on the dial and with a black date wheel it would look better. |

So, another watch on my list for 2014, I necessarily need a SEIKO SBDX011, aka Emperor !!! That watch is so awesome |

exc-hulk wrote: Nice stealthy Rolex Patrik. I agree, but if you Google "Rolex Stealth" you will find a whole series of photos of different models and versions. This is why i was questioning if its fake, real or just prototypes. If i would win a huge amount of money on the lottery , this type of Rolex would make my top ten list for 2014. As it is now, i will have to settle with 500-1000$ watches. |

Would fit the modern batman aka "The black knight". It seems like the only Blacked Out Rolex models that I have seen are not specifically linked with ROLEX in any way. All of these seem to be done by aftermarket companies not affiliated with Rolex. I've seen companies that offer you the ability to customize it based on your existing Rolex, or buy one of their customized models based on a pre-owned Rolex as the starting point. Don't know if any of these aftermarket companies start with new Rolex's or not? Some of the companies offering these pieces (some in PVD and some in the much more durable DLC)...Black-Out Concept, Titan Black, Blaken Watches, Swiss Wrist, International Watch Works, and I'm sure many, many others. Most of these companies seem to offer this on not just Rolex, but other luxury brands, and I'm sure some of these companies would provide this custom coating on any watch...not just those with super-premium price tags. My 2cents... I agree with you guys...that Rolex GMT stealth above needs a black date wheel to finish the look. |

But when it comes to luxury brands i personally feel it should be done at their factory, and be inline with their high standards and quality control. Here i thought that finally Rolex has made a watch that speaks my language. (Hope im using the right words and dont come off sounding as a snob or a A-hole). Also had to edit and add this link. Maybe i will have to eat my words from above. Looks really sweet. Deepsea Stealth Last edited on Sat Mar 8th, 2014 04:07 pm by Patrik72 |

Thanks Chris ! My wife says the same. But she has no knowledge of the list. The Seiko SUN019 is new on my list. I think a DOXA 1200T would be fine and the new Citizen Promaster for sure. |

There is a pre-order for delivery on the SUN019 in circa 3 months, courtesy of AFT (arizona fine time). You save about 170USD on the RRP, but add shipping. Good luck! And glad they reversed the "camel toe" at 12 for this one. It is a nice looking watch! 48mm of yummy goodness. Just a heads up... |
