How many watches you will buy in 2011?
« on: January 12, 2011, 09:15:14 AM »
I am doing my personal budget for 2011.  This year I may not be able to spurge on watches like last year so I will likely acquire only 2 quality watches such as IWC BP, H. Moser and Cie Monard Date, Glashutte Pano Inverse, etc.  So my answer is a lowly 1 to 2!   ;D

@dennis,

u r on the roll :)

@peanut,

last year, 5 watches total RM100k

this year, not splurging on watches, therefore 2 watches total RM157k, right? :)

for me,

limit myself to 1 only unless i moved some of them.

The 1st one would be RL EXII for my wife.
The next one would be IWC Port 7 days for myself.
The last one would be New Sub C to complete my collection.
 :)

This is all in my dream, which is mostly likely not come true........ :Praying:

For me i dont think i can safely say how many.
We all plan..but when a good deal or suddenly come into bonus or what not then we might buy more.
For now...i think to be safe 1-2 quality watches for me.
Dont need too many cant wear them all.

Correction: last year was 6 including the Seiko diver watch from Scott   ;D   I didn't know I have a watch accountant! 

This year will be far more selective as I wont have enough time to wear them all and I am resisting to buy watch winder.  Moreover money "saved" will be use for other enjoyment such as family vacation and other toys  ;D

Most probably 1 or 2 watches this year.
Just bough a Zenith EP HW that came highly recommended. So I'm giving it a try...
Then one for my wife coz if i buy one, she will want one as well.
Then TRY to stay quiet till next year's bonus... ::)
