Any Hublot or Corum watch owners here? Seldom see them here. ;)

i'll add girard perragaux and parmigiani to the list too.

GP for its history (1880 first commercial wristwatch, high beat movement and quartz - yeah, not the japs)

Parmigiani for now (what I feel is the GP spirit ressurected in a new brand - true Swiss watchmaking without the marketing)

Whats your target for 2015?

if ALL things goes well mine will be something from JLC which I have always wanted but could never decide between the classic dual faced reverso's or one of the modern pilots/divers.

Nevertheless I think I will still need to do some housekeeping to pare down my collection to make more room for new additions and to consolidate the range.

This. But it's gonna take me a while to re-calculate my budget and of course the all most important factor in every purchase. The wifey's UNDERSTANDING and approval.

Your collection is so big already. How do you give them wrist time.

For me it's either a matching PAM with wife, a 2nd metal bracelet for office or nothing. I'm very picky...unless the piece is perfectly what I want I won't shell out this kind of dough. Maybe it's my way of managing my limited budget I don't know.

There are opportunity costs. Main one is putting the money into investment (I look at myself working so hard..for what...you know ) Secondly, family vacation (better one, longer or more frequent ones). I consciously tell myself I already have a few pieces and only 1 wrist and 7 days a week. I don't sell my pieces as I bought them because I firmly dig the design and it suits my character so they are staying for life. Be it a watch or quality leather products I like to sentimentally keep them for life. Like wine that ages so are watches in my view.

So long story short. Probably nothing. Next watch God willing if something momentous crops up on life that is worth comemorating then maybe.

Writing this at 3am because I can't sleep. Not feeling well and slept a lot during the day already.

That said, JLC has always been in my mind even before I got my 1st piece in 2011 (new year eve it was). But never pulled the bullet. Closest choice would be the MC gmt in titanium bracelet.

No target cause no budget haha! I want to touch up my house and do some simple Reno so that's my priority for 2015.

But I am thinking of working my budget to change my pam to a 47mm..thinking of 372 or 422 :D

I like the reverso better in pictures than on my wrist, sadly... Perhaps the squadra which is "blockier" might work...

Saving for early retirement and nothing seems to stir up the desire in me so far.......maybe except a bronzo?

Already planned family vacations and retaking our wedding photos, with the kids this time, in Japan :) 10yr anniversary!!! ;) really looking forward to that!!!

Other than that, decided with the wife that we'll get another patek. One for each kid next time.

Hard to tell. Might be working overseas.

I bought another house also (cheap2 here in Indonesia), there's a 5 year loan period for that.

There's also a planned trip for the wife and I in August to New Zealand that I have yet to pay for :o

So I'm realistically only aiming for either a PAM or a reverso this whole year. Sad but that's the reality :o
