Which watch do you want that another forumite owns?

[tobywatches]

There are some VERY rare/unusual watches on this forum.

I often find myself jealous of others who have got hold of something that's out of my reach for a myriad of reasons be they financial, impossible to find or whatever.

I can list the white dial Omega snoopy (too expensive for what it is now), the AP Royal Oak (love it in others' pics, doesn't suit me/probably more than I'd pay), any number of Patek/RLS dress watches (can't justify a top class dress watch when I so rarely dress up), just off the top of my head.

But the one I think about more than most is Jocke's absolutely incredible W&F Watchsculptures.
I reckon it pops into my head most days and I look at his unboxing post once or twice a month.
Unsurprisingly, when I asked him if it was for sale some years ago he said no!

This is the one:

I'd post a pic directly but don't want to nick it without asking Jocke. I've thought of this in the middle of the night so decided I'd just post the thread while it's in my thoughts!

So, which watch does another member of this forum own that you'd LOVE, but know you'll likely never obtain?

Most of HM and Mike Wood’s watches:-)

Oh god yes. Add Jed’s watches in to that and I’m not sure I would crave another watch again lol.

[PSTW]

I have relatively modest wants... if I were to have just one, it would be a Rolex Sea Dweller 116600, my favourite of only a handful of watches that take my fancy at the moment.

I’ve fancied one for years and twice passed up buying one at retail when they were available, like a prize plum.

And here’s me craving your collection

One of those tasty oil-filled Sinn EZM2 Hydros that keep popping up on the Friday thread.

Ps. What a stunner.

[Tetlee]

I tend to drool whenever I see those lovely Lemania chronographs, especially the TV dial one. I can't remember who owns them. Sweets maybe?

Well thank you!!

Really we should make a list of who owns what, I have seen some stunners on here but god knows who owns them..

Sure I have seen a nigh on perfect 1665 SD with beautiful even warm lume, unpolished full set and just looking damn sexy, who owns you???

[helidoc]

Has to be the Sinn EZM 1

Sinn EZM 1 for me as well. Preferably with the solid end links

[Rocket Man]

Fun thread!

For me, it has to be the Grand Seiko SBGR095.

[Sinnlover]

I agree with Mick shock horror...

I don’t lust over any other members watch’s and I am happy with the state of my collection, however My favourite watch owned by another forum member is Snowman’s Cosmonaut and I think the majority / all of Quietly's collection is fantastic.

[GOAT]

Don’t know who owns it now but there was a lovely GP chronograph with rose gold Arabic numerals on here a few years ago...

[mjc1216]

Not a watch as i am happy with my collection but the ability to photograph mine like Nono or LTF and others

[Christian]

Not a watch in particular, but whenever I miss out on something I'd really want from SC, I tend to check out H&V for who bought it just to work out if itks likely it will return to SC one day or whether it's gone forever!

[LondonNeil]

Isn't it easier to say which ones you don't like?

[JonRA]

I'd love a Rolex 5513 - the watch that got me interested in watches in the first place. But other than that, I am happy with the few I have got and looking at the various beautiful watches that people here own - the Friday thread is great for that!

Oh yes - I too would love to be able to photograph my watches like the resident experts :)

Can't remember who had it, but there was a Blancpain Air Command doing the rounds a while back, and it's the best looking watch I've seen on here.

Always anything that LTF cares to show.
I do get the hots for a Zenith Rainbow Flyback though when one appears.

Zelig's custom Tuna. Lovely.

I'm happy with what I've got and rarely see anything that makes me think about selling to acquire. I tend to pause on anything with lovely aged tritium or an unusual blue dial but I'm less inclined to wear watches with a value over c£3k so think that tempers my want nowadays.

Up until recently I had a long term fancy for a nice Mk 1 De Luca but even that's waned. There are some lovely watches on here though, especially the vintage ones. I tend to move quickly past the shiny new Rolex pics

I was going to say none, but that is lovely and has had me looking at them on Chrono24 more than once since I first saw it.

PS nice to see someone else loves my Cosmonaute too

Bobdog's Big Red Daytona
Outstanding

[Caruso]

Carlton Browne has many watches that I covet.

[mrushton]

Mike Woods has an enviable selection and Kash always has something desirable. MartynJC too has had some nice ones and there is someone with 36mm DD platinum Rolex which I covet. But then those threads come up show us your chronos/panerai/Seiko etc and you guys will show something I haven't heard/thought of and I covet those.

[kneadking]

I would say that there are a couple of real stunners that Eddie has, that being the Rolex Explorer ref 1016, and the IWC Mk11 that he used as a reference for the wonderful PRS-47 Navigator that I can say that I own.

[Andyp1973]

I wouldn’t say I lust after anyone’s watch if I’m honest. I do really like ASW1 670 equation of time though. I’d have taken his 690 if I could of afforded it at the time as well.

Always remember a Seiko chrono that was on here quite a few years ago.
7T59 6A0A was the model.
Never seen another on here, would love it if it was still in the community.

As luck would have it, there's one on fleaBay at the mo. I guess that's where the photo is from. That's a fine looking chronograph

I bought this one from here 4 or 5 years ago and it's one of my favourites and a definite keeper.

I would love a couple of my old ones back which are still here and I have one which I seem to have a queue for.

And the Vintage Breitling?
Simply stunning .

Hi Ben

No I don’t think it was yours but can’t remember who the seller actually was and have long since deleted all the pm’s. I’ve previously sold a couple of these in the past but have learnt my lesson as I always want another.

Cheers

[ben4watches]

perhaps mine came from you then Neil.

I sold my Bell & Ross Space 3 on here.... many years ago. I'd love it back! Posted a WTB a few times but nothing... I guess it's long gone.

[Tom-P]

Sweets sold a Zenith De Luca to someone on here not too long ago - I think that was the one I most regret missing.
