What is your dream watch?

HomerJ · Jan 21, 2008

I don't know much about watches but I was browsing the Ulysse Nardin website and the Freak is pretty cool.

I also like this minute repeater they make. Neat video.

Well, this will undoubtedly get rotten fruit thrown at me, but it's my dream, dammit!

You should see it in real life, it's really something else.

I don't really have a dream watch but there are two watches that I want. One is a Vacheron dress watch, which I have posted before before. The other is a Rolex that doesn't exist in the current lineup but probably did and could be cobbled together easily enough today - an oyster steel or gold cased perpetual chronometer with a non-fluted bezel, no date window or cyclops and a plain dial with stick markers on a bracelet. Neither is so exotic that I couldn't get one if I really wanted to, but it would bea waste of money since my interest in watches has passed.

Wouldn't that basically be an Air King?

Some nice alternatives on this site. I also like the one pictured, even though it is larger than is practical.

Also in the less formal steel category: the IWC Spitfire (38 and 39mm).

Could be. When my current go-to sports watch dies, I will look at the Air Kings. Edit: A quick search found this:

I don't love the dial, but I bet I could get a dial I liked better. I wish they got rid of all that writing on the dial. Isn't the Rolex Crown, and maybe a small "automatic" or "perpetual" enough? Edit2: I would like some protection for the crown and solid waterproofing too, but this is being picky. here is a dial I like:
