The Quest

[freddy333]

I have done pretty well in finding most of mine

[rosnik]

Freddy,

like you know I love DJ, and your two DJ are really great!

[Stephane]

Each time you post the first picture I can't resist: I have a smile on my face.

I love it

[fotoman]

very - hopefully will unveil soon

[DemonSlayer]

That is a very classy collection. I like looking at member's rep collection who have a taste for a particular brand

I have a couple of projects on the table at the moment which should complete my (20 year) Quest.

Good luck with your unveilings.

Agreed. They speak to my inner child as well. Great line-up! Congrats.

[freddy333]

I appreciate the compliments, but the purpose of the post was to poll others on the state of their hunt.

How is YOUR search going?

[MimiSars]

That black date just is really nice.

I bought my first watch from Andrew and I love it. Ive looked on those scam sites for years and until I found this site, I didnt buy any of them. So I guess I have my dream watch now. The next one that I want is a Breitling. Maybe after that would be a Corum or Graham.

Not sure if gens are permitted, but I have always had a soft spot for the Bond SMP, and earlier this year I finally bought one. I have found it to be such a versatile watch, and whilst it doesn't compare to the likes of IWC etc... for the money it is a great timepiece.

I think the one rep that I would still like would be the closed factory Breitling Seawolf. I am in envy of Seadweller's!!

I think my search is going well, thanks Freddy. I have no inflated expectations of what I will receive when the postman calls. But I am seldom disapointed with what drops through the letterbox. So, thanks, my search is going well overall.

@b16a2 However, there is still no decent rep of the Breitling Aerospace....... BUGGER!

Very true. I was in contact with another member who had an awesome B1 replica, it was quite old and I dont think they're in production anymore, but for a cheap japanese rep, it looked very convincing, and at first glance I thought it was genuine. I suppose there wouldn't be enough demand if there were an Aerosapce rep, it's quite an acquired taste, (one that I love nonetheless).

Stephane, I think a picture of your Rolex collection would be very fitting for this topic. Your collection of divers, and Freddy's collection of Daytona's leaves me speechless!

[JoJo35]

I've done ok with my sub search & still considering a gen 16520

[Stephane]

Oh, well my quest is pretty simple: a Tudor Snowflake.

I'd love to have a rep and a gen!

[ironmarshal]

not very successful here. My ultimate dream watch is the Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine, and sadly have yet to see a rep of this beautiful piece.

i love DJ too. how accurate are the DJs from the cartel? what are the major flaws if any? i tried looking for some reviews of DJs but there's very little.

it might help my quest...

[Seadweller4000]

My quest is a Big Pilot. After I had one over the weekend, I can't stop thinking of it, so I hope my Exam will turn out well at the end of the year.

Until then, I am pursuing to enhance my modded IWC and Breitling rep collection.

[freddy333]

I was hoping that my picture would spark others to post pics of their dream watches as well. I guess I was not clear enough.

Does anyone have pictures of their current dream watch -- gen, rep or franken -- collection? Those grail watches that took some extra work, time and/or effort to acquire.

There you go:

:wub:

Freddy I would be delighted to post a GOOD photo of that watch but I can't find a real good one...sorry

I am talking about the black dial SnowFlake ...with or without date.

Here you are my friend!

[Stephane]

Thank you SD, I completely forgot that link...what a source of information by the way

Stephane -- I am only interested in pics of grail watches that you already own. Or stories about why you want a particular watch that you do not own.

[perry563]

Everytime I find what I think is THE ultimate watch it ultimatly disappoints! If I could point to one watch from each of my collections...gens and reps I would say my 1939 Gruen Curvex in 14K gold is my fav while in terms of reps my MBW 1665 GWSD is the most satisfing. I do have to say though that my latest buy a DeWitt Acedamia chrono is an outstanding piece.

[Nanuq]

I can say I'm pretty happy with how things have turned out for me.

I'd still like to snatch up a 6542 someday, and one of those fine Snowflake Tudors!
