Here's one dedicated to Farmer. I thought this was really interesting.
I watched the first minute, but I knew exactly what it was about as soon as you posted. Nomos is legit. Best bang for your buck. I'll watch more later.

List of what, exactly?

My short list:
1. Knights of the Round Table watch. It cost about $350k so I won't be able to get my following options for a while...
2. Nomos or Glashutte
3. Probably a Grand Seiko
4. Maybe a Tag Carrera

0. Jacob & Co. animatronic secks watch
0a. UN mermaid series
0a. UN mermaid series
The next watch I buy will likely be a Nomos or Panerai. I will have both eventually, so it depends on which I find first that speaks to me.
I love my Nomos and get lots of compliments on it. My "what's next?" list is quite small at the moment. I know that I want a Zenith Chronomaster Open 39.5 at some point this year, but beyond that it's wide open.
My next will be an Anordain. On the waitlist for 2026 and have been since 2022. God knows what prices will be by then...
Either this Model 3 Lichen:
Or a Model 1 Fume - Grey or Plum:

Plum looks bad ass.
2026? That is crazy.
Money down?
GBP350 non-refundable to keep a place in line. I dont get any updates on progression other than they will email me as it approaches. Double checked the order and says April-June 2026.
Non-refundable is some ****

Well they're in glasgow so i bet they'd be down for a friendly knife fight if you wanted to drop in and hassle them about it
My short list is:
Iwc iw353701
Seiko alpinist sbcj021 and/or 031

I don't see it that way. It goes towards the price of the watch and designed to weed out people would logjam the line if they have no intention of buying. Just that much extra time to ask people if they are going to by, wait for them to hem and haw and ultimately back out.
If I'm committed to buying it's no issue.

Charles Ponzi thinks that's crazy.
Does it lock in the price at least?
No, i don't think so, which is why I think it's kind of crazy that it's non-refundable and multiple years out.

How could it? They have absolutely no idea what year, let alone what cost they will have when your watch is finally sold.

Looks like they limit the price increases to 5% per year.

I wonder what happens when 2 or 3 years later and cost have rissen 30%-40% and they can't afford to continue orders?

"High End" is relative anyway

Let's face it, at this point this is "The Watch Thread".
I can think of at least (only?) one person who would beg to differ.

I think at this point, the best thing to do would be to start a "Low End" watch thread and use it for Rolex ****posts and then only post watches on this thread that cost $500 or less for Farmer.

I hear you...it isn't the best system for obvious reasons (risk for buyers) but it's still way preferable to what's happened with Rolex.schmendeler said:

Imagine if Rolex charged 10% of the retail price to get on a list and be guaranteed getting a watch in a certain timeframe.
Would you pay $1k non-refundable to get a Sub in 2027 or a Pepsi GMT in 2028? I definitely would; that system would be light years better than what's happening today.
When demand far exceeds supply weird things happen, so at least anOrdain was proactive and got some system in place allowing everyone to have a shot at getting one.
