A great watch that you might miss hearing about is the Reactor Gamma. Probably the strongest piece in the American brand's collection, the Gamma is now available in full titanium with the brand's Never Dark (ND) technology. At 45.5mm wide, the case wears comfortably and is 50% lighter than its steel counterpart. It is available with a black or red dial, that has traditional luminant as well as tritium gas tubes on the dial (which is the ND tech).
Inside the watch is a Japanese quartz movement with a 10 year battery. The unique styling of the watch is hard to miss, with a design that does in fact grow on you rather quickly. Durable, the Gamma Ti is water resistant to 300 meters, and is easy to read thanks for a healthy amount of AR coating on the mineral crystal. Retail price is $550 on the titanium bracelet, and $525 on a rubber strap. If you win the giveaway, you can choose what Reactor Gamma Ti model you'd like.

IWC Aquatimer Deep Two
(beautiful, but expensive – one day!)
Bremont ALT1-C in black one of the most beautiful and well-crafted timepieces I have had the pleasure of trying on in the shop (about five times…they’re now getting bored of me!)
Panerai Mare Nostrum – Its big.
my grail watch is a Jaeger-LeCoulture Master Calendar.
maybe when i’m filthy rich already.
Thanks for the giveaways – keep them coming! I’m keeping my fingers crossed on this one.
I love dive watches, and my dream watch is a Girard-Perregaux Seahawk II, or (slightly more affordable but still out of reach at the moment) a Sinn U1.
Has to be an Omega Speedmaster Professional any year they all look great and would compliment my Seamaster Professional.
My dream watch is the Patek Philippe Calatrava.
My dream watch is Ulysee Nardin “The Freak”. It’s so unique, superb design, very complicated, and nothing else looks like it.
Thanks Ariel!
I really love the new green Rolex Submariner Date.
I could afford it, but it would be hard to motivate the purchase.
I’d love to have an Omega Speedmaster..although I don’t even know if I can even afford it ever.
But it will be there and it’s always worth a shot aiming for it.
Beautiful watch, thanks for all the reviews.
Well, I’ve got an Omega 300m Seamaster Chrono Diver and I would like to add to the collection with a Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronograph. After that, maybe a nice IWT but that’s just being greedy
The IWC Portuguese Regulateur Tourbillon –in my dreams.
I really want to save up for a Omega Planet Ocean 45mm on rubber.
Ulysse Nardin Royal Blue Tourbillon (799-82 to be specific
. Definitely willing to save up for one, but realistically…
Movado Master, Tudor Heritage Chrono
My dream watch is Hamilton X-Wind.
I think it would bo the Hublot KING POWER CHRONO TOURBILLON ALL BLACK. But I think my only chance to own that piece it to find it on the street…
The Bell & Ross Type Marine
the Omega Seamaster – Bond’s watch. That is a thing of beauty.
I would like a Rolex Explorer I. Can’t afford it right now, but hopefully will be able to get it by the end of 2010!
That Reactor looks nice!
I am in love with the Longines Legend Diver, one of the most beautiful watches I’ve ever seen. I will not rest until I own one!
Bell & Ross Heritage is top on my wish list. Hopefully one day.
The Reator looks like a great watch…thanks!!!
I would love the have the new Rolex GMT Ceramic dial. Also would like the new Yacht Master II.
At the moment, I’d love to have an original Panerai. As it is, simply trying to save for a PAM Homage at the moment.
I will like to get some time soon a Richard Mille RM 011 Felipe Massa watch. I know one win come to me at a good price when I least expect it too as many of my watches have done so the the past. Thanks
I have a variety of holy grail watches, but I d have a somewhat practical side. I am saving up for a Suunto Elemtal watch. I want a diving watch with the functionality of a true dive piece, digital read and a bold color. It will be nice to own a watch that none of my friends own. Some have the Sea Touch by Tissot, none have a suunto.
The Reactor Gamma Titanium is a watch that I can’t presently afford but am willing to start saving for unless I win this one.
Next watch? Probably something indy, like a Magrette Moana Pacific Diver or Techne Sparrowhawk. Can’t afford anything new these days, but those are in my sights and worth saving up for.
A watch I would love to own would be an IWC Aquatimer 1953. However, like a barracuda I am too easily lead astray by other shiny objects.
I’ve been liking the Corum Admiral’s Cup Tides 48.
Can’t afford the gold version, but will be saving for the blue rubber-titanium version. Beautiful watch for sailing,,,,
I would love a Kazimon EINTAUSEND or Magrette Taniwha but can not afford either atm but would save for them.
Bremont Supermarine 500B-GN
This is a beautiful watch, but due to the week £ compared to the Swiss Franc is way outside my price band
Rob
Omega Planet Ocean. black face, orange bezel
Titanium…mmmm…delicious. Thanks for the giveaways!
Sarpaneva Harvest Moon or hopefully his future dive watch.
For me, it would have to be an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 2201.50.00…. i mean come on its good enough for James Bond.
IWC Pilot – my dreams watch…
I’m a fan of the Dievas Vintage line of watches… Like Panerai without wearing tens of thousands on the wrist.
The top of my wishlist is the orange hand Rolex Explorer II model, 1655. 17-35k for a stainless Rolex is insane, but I love the look of this watch.
Otherwise the Orange bezel Omega Seamaster with the steel bracelet.
What can I say I like orange in watches…
Would love to own a Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon – but a bit too pricey for me, so will have to do with all my Traser ones instead
One of these days I’ll end up with a Tag Heuer Monaco. I’m not sure how, but it’s gonna happen.
I don’t own a Lange 1. One day, after several decades of careful saving, I just might. Its appearance is strikingly avant-garde yet somehow timeless and classic. For now, I’ll settle for a Reactor Gamma Ti.
I love the panerai pam 111. I have been saving up for it for a while and hope to get it by the end of this year.
I would like to own a NZ made Margrette Taniwha
Rolex I love it.I dont care what Mr. Biggs says, they are great looking watches.
This Vintage 1972 British Military Rolex Submariner, manufactured for issue to the Royal British Navy, its a thing of beauty. Very rare too…
Ever since you featured the Linde Werdelin 3-timer watch, I’ve been dreaming about it in brown. Fantastic craftsmanship! maybe one day.
Cartier Tank Enlancee
I really want to win the Reactor Gamma for my boyfriend, if that helps! He’s really in to watches. Thanks
Omega Speedmaster Professional. Such a classic watch.
[...] by mwynands on June 1, 2010 · Leave a Comment ABlogToRead is giving away a Reactor Trident Titanium watch. This watch normally retails for aroundUS$500 or more, so would be a great win for a competition [...]
Bell & Ross Heritage…maybe one day.
It would be nice if Canadians could participate.
Add another one for Omega Speedmaster Professional.
one watch that i love is the A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerke!
trying one day to save enough to own one.
I think the IWC Portuguese Automatic is the most elegant watch I’ve seen. It’s got pretty much everything one could ask for in a watch, so I’m saving up to one day buy it. The Reactor watch looks cool and seems to be full of features and built tough.
Eterna KonTiki Diver. It’s just such a nice item . . .
Stowa Marine Original romeon. There are other watches out there I love to, but this one is priced to where I could maybe actually reach for it one day.
Like Patrick, Richard and Mike I adore Panerais, but would be happy to settle for a Magrette in real life!
G-Shock MTG 8900, Functional and durable.
IWC Aquatimer Chrono Gold with black rubber strap. Wow. Would love to add this Reactor to my collection as well.
Panerai Marina Luminor Automatic, a beautiful watch. The rugged Reactor would be a great watch to own!
There are soooo many, but I guess I’d have to go with the watch that started me on the road to watch obsession, a Corum Admiral’s Cup. I saw an ad on the back cover of a magazine probably 30 years ago and haven’t stopped wanting one since.
Well, realistically, my most sought piece is the Dent Parliament – but with the bracelet (same one as my facebook pic). I go back to that article at least once a week to drool over it. I say realistically because I suppose it is feasible to save up the +/- $15k simply for a watch. I certainly would if I could afford to afford.
Unrealistically, it would be the Louis Moinet Vernoscope w/Verne Instrument Watch Collection. I love the Louis Moinet pieces, and these are the cream of the crop as far as I’m concerned: from the heavy lugless cases and daringly unique chrono pushers, to the custom crater rotors (Valjoux 7750 WORKHORSE) and complicated, yet attractive faces.
If I could afford something like this set, then I’d be able to afford a room in the east wing just for the watches, and this set would be in the middle of that room. I’m not exactly a steampunk fan, and prefer the look of the “Meteoris” display that Moinet has, but the Vernoscope collection are much nicer watches in my opinion.
Richard Mille RM025 Tourbillon. But a Reactor Gamma Titanium would suffice for now
Since I’ll probably never save up thousands of dollars for a single watch, one on the more practical side that I’ll hope to save for one day is a Lum-Tec B1, B2, or B3. I could imagine saving enough to get one of those.
The thing I like about Reactor watches is the styling. They look like tough, go anywhere-do anything watches. It’s very appealing. However the one watch that I love ever since I saw the first press releases was a Baume & Mercier REF.8749
It just called to me and still continues to do so to this day. I will and am saving up to purchase this watch, my wrist demands it!
Mmm, that’s a tough one. I definitely want an IWC. The Portuguese Perpetual Calendar in white gold is pretty stunning!
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial GMT Chronograph Watch
The watch I love, can’t really afford right now, and am saving for is the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso: Grande Taille. Because, when the goin’ get’s tough, as it inevitably does, I put on my game face. With this watch, it’ll be a face of solid Stainless Steel with my coat of arms engraved on the backside.
This smart, trustworthy, armored and elegant timepiece is just right for me, now if I could just find a young wife who can meet these parameters I’d retire and have my mark stamped on her backside too.
still saving for a panerai.
saving for a Rolex in gold presidents band with mother of pearl face or a Zeinth in rose gold
I seem to like almost every watch I come across, but I have to admit the Omega Planet Ocean Chrono
is one I would really like to own. It’s very solid and bulky (just the way I like ‘em). I like many Omeagas: Speedmaster day/date and the Hour vision is very impressive timepiece.
I;m Saving up for the Technes Sparrow Hawk watch! Your review on that watch hooked Me right in. The Reactor Gamma is a good looking watch, the red dial would probably make this watch pop! The Titanium bracelet is going to be nice and light, and a 10 yr battery is just perfect.
I would love to own the Seiko Premier Chrono you reviewed a short time ago. But the Gamma Ti is a nice & tasty alternative!!
PP Calatrava 5196G
Lately, I have been keeping my eye on the Suunto Elementum Terra with a metal band, very pricey, but overall nice watch I can wear to any occasion. Though at this point, I don’t really have a watch so I’ll wear just about anything.
where will i even start with the watches i want but can’t afford right now
the one that i will most definitely own one day is a plain ol’ submariner date. wouldn’t even look at other watches if i owned one.. well for a couple of days at least. with an expeption of watch blogs and forums ofcourse.
The new A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Luminous with Smoked Glass. Beautiful and now with Lum. We can only dream.
Omega 300M, blue dial, co-axial. AKA the James Bond watch. This is just pure awesomeness. Great look, perfect size, beautiful watch.
The Reactor seems to be value priced – esp. for a titaniam. I’m working on a higher-end Chronoswiss &/or Panerai right now.
Within probable reach in the near future, I would want a Breguet Transatlantique….now for the almost impossible, not in a million years dream watch….Patek Philippe’s Sky Moon Tourbillon….what a watch. But honestly as long as its a well made and a unique looking automatic, chronograph watch, I would like it…irregardless of the brand.
Tag heuer Carrera automatic brown face.
The Royal Oak … Finely crafted, timeless design, elegant and stunning. A legacy to be treasured and kept within the family and handed down to the next generation.
Would have to be a Tag Carrera in brown.
Great site, glad that I found it!
Cheers
Lucas
a white ball ionosphere…so beautiful!
I know it’s cliche, but I’d like a Rolex. Specifically, an Explorer II Polar
I LOVE the Suunto Core Military watch. Its amazing and pretty much has everything you could every want in a watch.
My grail watch is the A. Lange & Söhne LANGEMATIK PERPETUAL in yellow gold. A truly elegant watch that will start conversations.
Thanx again from Reactor
I am currently saving for a Seiko Direct Drive in silver with a white face making it easy to read and When asking for an ultimate watch I go the Chopard Happy Diamond series Just to make the Wife happy
Have a great week guys
Thanks, Reactor, especially if I win!!
I am currently saving for a Breguet classique 5930BA/12/986, beautiful watch!!!! I hope the day may come, although not sure!!!
Great blog by the way, thanks guys.
I am saving up for an Omega Seamaster (again!) I had to sell mine a few years back during the financial downturn. Things are looking better now, so I am saving up again to buy it back.
cool contest I read ablog to read every day, there are two watches I am willing to save for are an IWC Portuguese automatic and a JLC master compressor GMT
Casio Oceanus
I’d love to have a JLC Polaris – either original or the re-release
I’m really liking Lum-Tec watches right now.
Affordably cool!
Would love to have the Omega seamaster planet ocean chronograph, the all black one. A little out of my price range however. Otherwise I would like to get a Magrette watch with the amazing engraving on the bezel (first learned about them on this site…).
The one watch that is definitely out of the budget right now but would totally be worth putting away for in my opinion would be Seiko’s Spring Drive Marine Master. I want one. Terribly.
The timepiece of the moment for me is the MontBlanc Colletion Villeret Grand Tourbillon… it’s truly bewitching and I think I am obsessed!
Omega Speedmaster Professional, the Moon Watch. Hopefully a vintage one with the 321 movement.
(not on facebook, so I guess I can’t win?)
Hi there. The watch I am saving for and will be justifying to the wife once purchased is a Max Busser and Friends creation – Horological Machine No 3 Sidewinder. Unique, impressive, original. Unbelievable watch to look at. Maybe not an everyday peice such as my Oris, but I still want one nevertheless.
My grail right now is a vintage omega ploprof.
i for one think reactor watches are overprice for what you get. at best there a second class watch. and this is just my feeling on there watches. jt
[...] June 8, 2010 · Leave a Comment Last week we linked through to ABlogToRead who are giving away a Reactor Gamma Ti watch. This week Ariel Adams of ABlogToRead puts the watch through its paces in this detailed review with [...]
TAG Heuer Carrera
Looks like a lot of Omega fans. For me it would be the Ball Spacemaster X-Lume. I’m a big fan of Tritium watches and this Reactor looks like a fine piece.
The Sinn Regulator is number one on my saving for list. Something about that watch with the white dial…
I am a big time wristwatch enthusiast, unfortunately, on a timex budget. I’ve done a lot of research on fine and unique watches. Sure, who wouldn’t want a Rolex or a Patek? However, any objective search for value would put Reactor watches at or near the top of the list.
I have the opportunity to purchase a slightly used Breitling for the same price as a Reactor Gamma TI but am saving up for the latter because I believe it is superior in every respect.
I am a watch freak. Own too many already. This would be a nice addition to my collection. Thank you for doing these giveaways.
I love the Panerai watch line and want another, but I can’t justify the cost.
Breitling SuperOcean Chrono is my current grail
So many – but I really would like an IWC Big Pilot with a blue face and a Tag Heuer .. for starters!
IWC Portuguese: White Dial, Gold Numbers, Black Leather Bracelet. Beautiful.
A Caliber 321 Omega Speedmaster
Like the Omega PO orange, Bill in IL (billa1967@sbcglobal.net)
The Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec. I actually like the earlier design of this watch (the Star Nicolas Rieussec) than the current design. But by the time I save up enough they will be years of designs behind them in this line (hopefully) and I can pick up one of the older designs “pre-owned” for less.
While visiting the website of my favorite jeweler and watch dealer I came upon a link to the Seiko website and thought I might take a look. My God! I never knew there was such a thing as the Seiko Ananta. In particular the model sps007. This I believe is the most beautiful watch I have ever seen! And to boot, the Spring Drive movement is absolutely amazing. I don’t think I will be able to sleep at night until one of these watches is on my wrist.
Have to go with one of two American made timepieces, either the Kobold Spirit of America, or the Bozeman Herradura Ranch. At a $5-6k price tag though,I cannot afford to save for both, well maybe once the kids finish college. Let’s see, 18 years and counting.
LümTec Tungsten M22. Great time piece with a unique LümTec custom made movement, but as a student budget is tight.
Cool contest!
I’ve been aching for a Tag – any Tag – my whole life. I’ll never likely “save up” for it, but one day I’ll just roll it into another purchase that I’m taking out an ungodly loan for….
Breguet reine de naples
Favorite watch is a TASG Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36RS2 but as a retired photographer/writer (still active mainly as a volunteer) basically now on a fixed income the price is probably above my current budget and it will prpbably take too long to reach that level, so I will most likely be adding either a lower priced TAG Heuer model, or one of the other watches that catch my eye from time to time in following “Ablogot read”. We’ll see where the balance lies later in the year before making a decision on the specific third addition to my modest collection.
Saving up for a Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster. One day, many years from now, it will be mine
The watch would be a Rolex GMT-II – great watch with some interesting aviation history to boot! – I had a Reactor Fallout – but was lost in a house robbery – it was one tough watch!!
Perrelet Turbine watch
Reactor Gamma Ti —all the way!!! whoohoo!
My dream watch would be a IWC Zidane Big Ingenieur. Thanks for publishing so very nice details on watch brands.
Always thought that the Reactor line would be slam-dunk for best value if they just had tritium tubes; now I am incented to save up for the Gamma! Perfect blend of ruggedness and refinement. Never spent more than $100 on a watch in my life,….yet.
Brietling Colt GMT. Simple, understated, classic!
It looks like a very nice watch.
Am saving up for a Traser Commander 100 titanium.
The Gamma Reactor is a fine looking timepiece.
I’m in Emergency services and need a tough durable watch. Saving up for a Traser Classic Automatic Master. Love automatics for their movements, yet really need it to be durable so, even a tested, rugged quartz movement will do. I’m tired of cheap store watches that last for me only a few months.They always fail when I need it most. Thanks for posting this site, and I so enjoy your comments on watches. I read between calls.
Seiko Ananta Chrono Spring Drive – simply the best
Oddly enough I was lusting over the Reactor Gamma when I stumbled across your website. Who knew I would find a chance to win one. The blog is great.
Stowa Marine Original Black dial, Roman Numerals.
WOW!!!Great looking watch!But…a little pricey for me,trying to figure what i can hock to get this masterpiece!Going thru my change jar as i write,have to save for this one,maybe a second job? Sell my truck? Gotta Have It! Until then…
Wow,,,,,,,,,,,, the thought of owning a Reactor Gamma Titanium Watch,is in essence a dream,like an afternoon of rainy day window shopping.
We all sacrifice on occasion for luxury, but what about quality.How many watches have I owned,several,… maybe dozens.They get lost, lose style, batteries die and they end up in the back of the dresser drawer. Having a Reactor Gamma Titanium (with the rubber/silicone strap)would be like having a new car, you would care for it ,clean it, shine it up,show it off “time and time” again. It is sad that society has driven us to quickly empty our wallets buying knock-offs of quality merchandise,It’s a ploy to feed the masses. Don’t fall in line with the rest of the world.Start a new line by buying a watch that states”Follow me” .When is the the last time you heard someone speak of their plain old watch made in someplace we can’t pronounce. Lead the pack,.. buy the Reactor Gamma Titanium Watch.
Like a new car, you can’t wait to drive it everyday, your friends will be jealous,you won’t need a pipe and an afghan,just a thirst for the outdoor adventure that’s buried deep in all of us.Start with the Reactor and let it take you to places you have only dreamed off. You only get what you pay for, so what are we waiting for,it’s a jungle out there lets begin by taking time literally off the shelf and placing it on to our wrist…Tick… Toc… Tick…Toc
Panerai California would be my purchase once I can afford it (and if I can find any available at the time!)
I’m currently saving for a Bvlgari Diagono. By the time I have enough saved up, I will probably want something else but for now, that is what I want.
I am looking to upgrade my sport watch, and this one looks great! Hope I win!
I’m currently saving up for a vintage Seiko 6217-8000 or 8001, 62MAS Diver, considered to be Japan’s first true diving watch.
Something about it’s simple classicism calls to me….
i wish….
ohhhhhhhh, the list is long…
but if i have 2… and to be modest i will go 4 the suunto elementum aqua…
I would love an Oris and have been dreaming of owning one for years. The Divers Titan Date is my current favorite.
The Reactor Gamma is a nice looking watch and I love that it is made of Titanium.
It would be Calibre de Cartier…
Deep Blue Men’s Daynight Diver Tritium Automatic
A truly beautiful watch with great features, but alas, out of my price range.
a watch you love but can’t currently afford, and are willing to save up for.I like titanium cases,so any one who makes one has my thumb up for it!
The Porsche Design Ocean2000 – military version. It’s the near perfect diver watch with minimalist simplicity, push-to-turn bezel for security and titanium construction. It would have been perfect if it had had the Reactor ND technology! Kicking myself for not getting one when it was available.
Chronoswiss Orea. Beautiful enamel dial.
Classic Breitling Navitimer Tricompax with blue dial and SS bracelet…aaahhhh
IWC Ingenieur. I’ll keep dreaming…
My grail is a toss-up between the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 and the Patek Philippe Calatrava.
Dreaming about Omega Seamaster…
Being a World Cup year this may sound cheesy but I’d happily save for a Hublot Maradona Big Bang. The light blue and white on black just looks so sharp, and it’s a company you don’t see talked about as much.
Wish I owned the Cartier Ballon Bleu Steel Watch. I’m a lady but I dig mens watches!
added you as a friend on facebook (anna lene)
these reactors look awsome! the omega seamaster planet ocean, and the reactor gamma 2 tone bracelet catch my eye! neither is within reach financially now…….great looking watches!!
Seiko MarineMaster.
Not the most expensive, but a realistic grail that one day I will own.
love the new union glasshuette watch
[...] battery quartz movement. A kick-ass watch with your choice of red or black dial. Priced at $550, but you can win it right here for free, only from aBlogtoRead.com. Hurry though, the giveaway ends at the end of June, 2010. Written by Mr. Ariel Adams – [...]
I’d say the Omega Seamaster as well.
PAM305. Like wearing vintage submersible on you wrist.
Hrm, although I’m sure I’ll change my mind next month, I’d say a Sinn U2 (on bracelet)
Reactor Gamma Titanium Watch, obviously!
Me please!!!!!
I really like Stowa Antea and I will buy it some day.
I would love to save up for the Omega Planet Ocean in orange, or a Rolex Explorer II.
Any Richard Mille watch!!! They’re amazing!
Rolex. The watch is synonymous to durability, history, high-standard, quality and the rich and famous. I’m willing and starting to save for it but considering my current financial status, I estimated that it will take me a lifetime to afford to buy even its “cheapest” model.
Thanks for all the great watch talk and coverage, visiting this site is truly a joy. Watch I cannot afford but would be willing to save up for? That is easy, I would love to someday get a Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic (The PAM00305) Titanium, black dial, Panerai’s in house calibre P.9000, alot of presence at 47mm, the trademark crown, 300m WR, and wear anywhere anytime looks…gorgeous timepiece, but pricey. Thanks again.
JLC Master Compressor! My dream watch…maybe someday
Casio PAW-5000 would be the one. I love this timepiece because it’s strong and perfect for my daily beater. It’s cool. The combination of digital display, analog display, and abundant features make this watch into a very cool watch to have. Still I have to save my money to afford one. Little bit more and you can see this AmazinG piece on my wrist. Thank you.
Perrelet Turbine Double Rotor, Like it a lot and would be a great gift.
Ariel-
I believe this is the watch that survived an IED explosion in Afghanistan. The bracelet broke, but the watch remained intact and in full working order. The soldier wrote to Reactor to get a new bracelet. Instead, Reactor sent him a new watch free of charge. What a class act!
I’d probably spring for the red dial if I bought one.
Regards,
Pat

Glashutte sentor sixties – square.

Given that Wyler seem to be gone the Code R Ceramic is likely off the list,then again it’s about x2 what I currently hope to spend on a watch and still remain married.
Back on earth, I’m torn between Bremont’s Alt Z and the heritage Bell Ross’ on my aviation loving side and the Seiko Springdrive moonphase on my watch loving side.
I kinda like the reactor I wouldn’t sell it to fund the above aquisitions as it’s not usually the type of watch I go for, more sea than air, but it wears the look of being heavy well.
I’ve been saving for a breitling emergency for a few years now.
One watch to rule them all…
just hope to save enough cash for one of those 999 Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster, one of the most striking styling I’ve seen in a while.
I’ve been enamored with the Seiko Spring Drives since they were announced. I love the chronograph model!
I’m thinking a tourbillion from Longio might be my next expenditure…maybe by next summer. I also like the complications from Azimuth, but I cannot afford a Eurpoean tourbillion and they look oh so fun.
I don’t have a facebook account due to the nature of my profession, but if selected you should still choose me anyways!
I was going to cast a vote for the Patek Philippe Calatrava but the Harry Winston Excenter is calling me more and more.
A titanium Mille – any model, I’m not picky
I have way too many grails to list here, but I will say that I have been looking for a tough sport watch. I have several G-Shocks but am looking for something nicer. I’ve had my eyes on the Reactor for quite a while. I first read about them back in May of last year in a review by OceanicTime and then read your review this June. Your review made me sure that it would be a great purchase. I hope I can add one of these to my collection…
Thanks for the opportunity!
I really want a Chase Durer Special Forces UDT 1000xl.
I like Big heavy watches.

or any philippe dufour
Wow, I love watches so there are many I would like to have. Too many watches and not enough money. I guess my choice right now would be a Breitling Skyracer.
My current object of desire is a Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT.
To narrow down one single watch is damn near impossible. The choices are endless! But I guess if I have to pick……….. I’ll say two have caught my eye. They are Porsche Design Flat Six Chrono Auto with a (red dial/black rubber strap) and Seiko SLQ019 Sportura Limited Edition Kinetic Chrono.
I love watches ever since I was a kid. My father’s favorite brands was the Omega. I love the Tag Carrera and the Montblanc Timewalker Chronograph. Some day…
I currently want to save up for an Hour Vision.
I have a thing for the new Bremont Sub watch. For one, offset crown watches always catch my eye. There are many watches I want, so it is going to be tough to save up for this one.
Reactor Gamma Ti! Is that an alien life force and a new kind of college fraternity?
The Doxa Searambler……unique with an interesting history behind the brand
My current favorite watch that I can’t afford, and am in the process of saving for, is the Ball Engineer Master II in the Aviator Dual Time design. I really love the look and feel of the Ball watch, in the hand and on the wrist.
Casio G-shock GW-6900-1JF
Love the Reactor watches. Have owned a couple of G-Shocks (in the sports category) but these are my current favorites.
Love Automatics and TISSOT but my current grail is the OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 2209.50.00 . Has been on my wishlist for a long time now.
A Tag Heuer Monaco special edition with the gulf oil livery. Absolutely stunning and a limited edition
My dream watch is the Panerai PAM00348 Lo Scienziato Radiomir Tourbillon GMT which I will be saving up for for a good long tome. I just bought a Dievas Vintage which is an homage to the classic Panerai’s and I think it will hold me over for a little while
Oh, that is hard! I believe my next purchase to save for is a MIH watch but I really would like to own a Jaquet Droz, a F.P. Journe Octa, an A. Lange and Sohne Zeitwerk, and a UN “Freak” Blue Phantom!
I’m saving for Rolex Submariner Date Steel
The Tag Heuer Formula 1. I’m saving a little every payday for this watch.
I like the Longines Gold retrograde.
Tag Heuer Monaco w/ rubber strap
Cool watch give away! Reactor watches are awesome (own the Neutron) and their customer service is one of the best!
The watch I love right now, but don’t have the dough at the moment is the Doxa Subs.
Cheers!
Any A. Lange & Sohne.
I collect professional watches and would love to have a Bremont Supermarine. Own an MB2 and ALT1-Z, but could still use another Bremont!
Hoping to save up for either a Cartier Tank or a Rolex Milgaus
I’d love to wrap a Chopard Mille Miglia non-chrono GMT with the rubber tire tread strap around my wrist.
Patek Philippe Calatrava
Romaine Jerome Titanic DNA
Saving for anything from urweck.
I figure about the year 3014.
I hope to one day, purchase a Lange 1. Just beautiful.
Omega Seamaster GMT Automatic Chronometer. Understated elegance. Hope to someday own this watch and look forward to passing it on to a loved one.
I hope to someday get a Chase-Durer Special Forces watch.
Very nice watch that fits form and function.
I am saving for a 50 fathoms chrono….
Anything with the letters I.W.C. on it…
