So I guess since the stores are already putting out their Christmas displays, I thought there was a post last year about what was on everyone's wishlist at Christmas time. So whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or even Festivus, what are you hoping to add? I'm just hoping for a couple new straps for my 112, hopefully the JV and another daily option. |

Oh boy, that could be a long list  I'm hoping for a copy of George Daniel's book that is being reprinted, I'll hopefully add some more watchmaking tools, I usually get a renewed subscription to International Watch and I might just pick up a watch or two

I guess I should have added that it should only be watch related items, mabye that will cut down some of the long lists. |

The forum LE is most likely the only "watch" related thing Im getting for (or shortly after) Christmas, and I cant wait. The ole watch fund hasnt been growing that much this year (well it was until someone bought a German sports car a few months ago!  ) and so not a bunch of new goodies this x-mas.

Solely for my own comparison purposes, I put together a spreadsheet with the various Breitlings that I wouldn't mind owning, listing all the various sizes etc. Well, I MAY have added some other details (dial/bracelet preference) to it, and I MAY have printed it out and left it out for the wife to find. So she MAY pick up on the hint. List had the following: SOH 46 (black dial; ocean racer) SOH Chrono (black dial; ocean racer) Blackbird (satin finish) Skyracer (slate) Maybe Santa will be extra jolly this year and bring all four? |

Maybe you should add a picture of one of those next to either a Starliner or Lady Cockpit and show her how nice they would look together. |

Me too - super excited about the new edition, can't wait to receive it. That's the only watch I'll be receiving. I just bought a black Breitling leather strap which I really like so would now like to add a brown. I'm also looking into watch winders and as my birthday is also in December and my wife is looking for ideas, there's a good chance I'll be receiving a winder as well. Will be a very good Christmas

On my wish-list I have written down: a black face UTC with an fitting end piece for a fighter bracelet (to my emergency mission). I would like to fulfill my late fathers dream for this watch . Hopefully some day I can do just that but for now, it is only on the wish-list.

Watch related items: Would like to find a nice 6 watch winder The only other watch I'm really interested in has me a little apprehensive. I really want an Omega POC, but with all the movement issues I've read about, I'm reluctant to aggressively look for one. That, and my watch allowance is pretty much gone ever since I picked up my 24H LE Chrono-matic. But.... Even though I really wanted it, I hate to say, it may be the first to go in order to pick up a POC. It's just more "me". |

Peace, love, and happiness...  So generic huh? Seriously, time... I want some time to myself... but that should be as easy as finding a unicorn...

I've already ordered my Christmas present to myself for this year so I guess I’m wishing for a new blonde/ brunette or/ redhead that’s willing to buy me a new winder (just to keep it on topic)  AS |

Just ordered my Christmas gift for myself Nomos Club 36mm, that is pretty much it. For me at least. |
