The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread

[ROF68]

The thread about the Fears/CW collaboration has put that brand on my radar. Now the Brunswick is stuck in my head as a potential retirement watch! I like everything about it and the heritage associated with the company.

Totally agree, although I'd choose the white dial.

And, in addition to the Fears Brunswick (see earlier post), I'm also loving the Vertex M-100A. Similar story behind the brand to Fears, too -- both companies rekindled by descendants of the original founders. Love the fact that Vertex was also the only British-made watch out of the original Dirty Dozen.

Such a cool summer holiday watch

I wished, my watch had an Alarm function today.
This has, and I love the look.

^^^^I have been looking for an alarm watch it seems for ever. Finding one with a day/date is next to impossible. But that is very tempting. The search continues. After all, what else would I do when it’s -20F outside?

^^^ I’ve been dreaming of a vulcaine cricket for a while too! Perhaps there has been some subliminal advertising going on...

How about this??

I made an offer for just a bit less so I could get under the duty amount to the US and got a snarky response about how he has expenses. I thought it was a fair offer considering the damage to the bezel at 3 o’clock. Still listed 6 months later, and the price has gone up.

I’m dreaming of a white Chricket (doo-doo-dooo)…

Mechanical alarm watch with a date function you say?

If only I had a spare £18k sitting round.....

Dream watch? Dunno. But.
Cartier will lose no sleep that I'm not the biggest fan of the 'Tank Normal/Tank Louis". Plenty of folks are.
Big Santos lover, with reservations about actually owning one...polished bezel, blah de blah.
If those two had a love child it would probably look like the new 2023 Tank Francaise.

The Large is mostly brushed, automatic (SW100 variation) has a tiny date window but (thin) applied markers. Quite unreasonably, I really like it. Sacrebleu.

Chris, just stop dithering and blathering and get one!

Meanwhile, back in the Swiss – Cuban department, everyone knows I like a nice GMT and this one is certainly a bit different. It has two movements so it’s capable of coping with South Asian and Australian offsets.

At 3ATM water resistance, it’s not suitable for a beach holiday, but it wouldn’t look bad swanning around in a posh hotel. I’ve always said I don’t like brown dials, but oddly enough this one looks quite sophisticated.

Not really for me I think, but something interesting to muse on. It’s totally bonkers and a bit of a mess but I can’t help liking it in a quirky, left-field sort of way.

^^^ Touché, Nigel. I keep telling myself “No more watches”, but if I did…CyS would be high on the list. Just very different from the rather sober styles I normally prefer.

I am certain I wouldn’t wear any of these, but I do like them. I am a fan of the brand; I bought a Buceador Coral Negro in December, and I am at a point in my watch journey that new purchases must be sufficiently different to my existing brood. The good thing about CyS is they have a number of distinct lines, with their own styles, each exhibiting the Latin flair which caught my eye in the first place.
