Well, 2009 is nearly upon us, so although we've done wish lists in the past, I thought it was about time we updated them to see what fine timepieces are on people's lists for 2009. Let's keep it to our realistic pieces guys!

To start the ball rolling, my wish list looks like this -

Breitling Chronomatic 49 - black dial/black leather on deployant
Breitling Montbrillant Legende - TT/black dial
Zenith Defy Classic Open - silver dial/bracelet (46.5mm)
Omega Railmaster XXL - black dial/brown croco (49.2mm)

Obviously this list is subject to change (possibly on a daily basis! :wink: ) and doesn't remotely take into account any of the new Breitling models that will inevitably come out next year! :D

BUT, if I manage to get at least one of the above by this time next year, I'll be a very happy chap indeed! :thumsbup:

Zenith Chronomaster XXT Open Grande Date
Bentley Le Mans Bronze Dial
Chronomat Lancaster

Those are the keepers, the rest vary constantly, and that's without straying onto the 'beginning to dream' list (Zenith Defy Extreme Sea Open)

Good idea Driver. Here's my list:

Breitling Navitimer - black dial/black leather (this one is top priority, and I'm not just saying that because this is a Breitling forum)
Omega Speedmaster
Another BR01 - either the 96 (big date) or 97 (power reserve)
Maybe another IWC?

And, if I work really hard next year, maybe a JLC Master Compressor (the big world time one, looks around 46mm, not sure what model exactly but saw it in a shop window and liked it). :)

Runners up:

Driver8´s Steelfish ;)

...but to be realistic I will be happy if I can buy one or two of these.
I really don´t have that urge to buy lots of watches anymore as I am very content with what I got at the moment. But that feeling usually changes over time.

Several on the "wish" list, but we will see ...

PAM 112 or 111
Breitling 6.75 or Le Mans Bronze
Breitlingsource.com Limited Edition (hopefully red/black SOHC!)
Breiting SA black dial (maybe special order with brushed finish)
Bell and Ross Phantom (maybe)


Not nessesarily in that order and more than likely not getting all of those. If im lucky 2-3 of them

If I sell a million + worth of merch in a year, I get a free Rolex of my choice. Can't be all gold, can't be Professional models..

That's an interesting one HeadOffice - don't see too many calls for Glycine's on here. My personal fave is the Airman Chrono 08.

I just got a call that the Zenith Chronomaster XXT Open Grande Date is at my AD awaiting inspection - along with it's rose gold cousin :?

That might have to come off of the 2009 list............
