Post subject:  My Short List
Here is my short list that I am trying to keep with in my means.
The order is pretty close to when I would like to obtain them.

1. Oris Artelier Skeleton (Strap). This will be my first watch on a strap and my first watch this small but I am itching for something a bit different in my collection and I think this fits the bill. I will decide to pull the trigger on this or not as soon as Roff gets back to me on the finishing of the case/lugs! :wink:

2. B4B 6.75/6.75 Speed. I had to sell my 6.75 last year and have been really wanting to get one again. Just not sure of all the differences in the 6.75 versus the speed. I know the silver rings around the subdials, any others? Are they discontinuing the original 6.75? I still have yet to see a side by side comparision. I have seen them at seperate times just not together. At first I remember thinking that the silver rings added too much clutter but now I am thinking the original 6.75 looks like it missing a little something.

3. Something from the Zenith Line. Probably something with roman numerals on the dial and at least a 45mm case size

4. White dialed PAM. High polished case. This one is not of up most importance.

5. Something completely out of the box. Loud colored dial, maybe an off shaped case etc.

If anyone can answer my question or would like to place any input I would GREATLY APPRECIATE it! Also, I would love to hear updates on your guys's lists.

Can't help you too much on your list, not familiar with some of those brands. However did own a PAM for a short while and had trouble with the size/case design fitting me comfortably - I have that in-between wrist size. I did like the watch though and if I ever re-visit them again I may try some of their new 42mm designs.

I'll offer my short list:
1) Sport/casual diver - looking at new SO II (just saw the new design in the metal recently and still thinking it over, haven't seen the blue or red versions though) or possibly Omega SMP 2254.50 (older design with the solid 'sword' hands). Something I can get wet.

2) Dress/casual piece - hunting for a Navitimer Mont. 1903 white dial on bracelet and/or a white dial Breitling B2 circa 2003 with baton markers and matching white sub-dials.

3) If no. 2 doesn't happen may go for white dial Navitimer or wait for future Navitimer with in-house movement (?).

4) Some day - a brushed Blackbird on bracelet! :bow:

Until then, I keep 'dreamin' :D

My plan before year end is to acquire both a Cosmonaut or Navitimer and an Omega Speedy. These two should get me where I want to be....for the time being that is.

Thanks guys. I would also like to add a mother of pearl dial watch also. Probably a Chronomat/B01 of something like that. This would be a piece I would get just b/c I had some $ to blow.

Anyone know all the differences between the 6.75 and the 6.75 speed?

I just started typing my 'Short List' and it was 20 long. All I can say is that as of today it's another APROO and a black eyed blue B01.

But...I bought another PAM yesterday for no reason that wasn't even on my list :lol:

gzgym1 you are spot on in terms of the differences between the 6.75 and 6.75 speed. along with the chrome on the subdials the colors are a bit different as well too. For example the black on the 6.75 speed has a red metallic fleck when put under light. This is suppose to match the paint job found on the bentleys. also to tachometer has been touched up with some red markings. Thats really the only differences.

Do the white dials differ at all from the 6.75 to the 6.75 speed? Are they both still finished the same as far as high polished areas on the case dial clasp bezel etc? It's hard to tell from pics and I dont have an AD close by.

I just beat the crap out of my Xezo with a hammer and the case is now oddly shaped. Let's chat.

Well my list has just grown to about 20 since I did this. I had never really put a list together before. Shit this is dangerous.
