I had rather a lot to drink last night with Man City winning, and apparently ended up buying a Graham Chronofighter vintage watch, judging by my emails this morning. At least it was 50% off at 2.5k.

You have my condolences!
It’s actually a good looking watch. Much better than most they release. That said I have a soft spot for the nose art versions, if I could find one at a decent price I would buy one.

Surely you can just return it when it arrives if you so wish.
It's a very distinctive piece.

That is absolutely my stance on Chronofighters. I've owned a Graham watch in the past, and it was very solid, if a little chunky. I'd love a nose art Chronofighter.You have my condolences!

not only damaging to your body and wallet but also your street cred!
I'm really surprised to find I like that. The left hand trigger would seem to make a lot of ergonomic sense for me triggering the chrono with my right thumb. Luckily for my wallet, I don't need another chrono as I can't remember the last time I used the function on an analogue watch.
They are well made and good quality
You have me thinking now.
I had never previously considered buying a wtch with a steam pressure escape valve as an extra complication.

It's actually a bottle opener. Every time you get buyer's remorse open a couple of beer bottles and the watch looks good again.
It’s the only watch out there that serves you a nice espresso when you wind it. Joking aside they are very well made watches and variety is the spice of life.
At least its a Lefty, so you will be able to actually wear it!! :0)
Don't think I've seen a full on leftie like that with the date before. As a right-handed person it seems even stranger...a reflection on how my brain works, not the watch!
At least at 47mm if someone tries to mug you, you can always batter them with your watch.
A real plus given the times we live in - but blind muggers are rare.
A cautionary tale indeed, you should be able to return for a full refund so don’t worry. Don’t hang around though as you wouldn’t want to miss the returns window and be stuck with it!
So it arrived. Quite like it actually. The 44mm size is spot on, and the crown guard is nowhere near as intrusive as I expected. It also helps that the whole assembly is on the left of the case so it doesn't dig into your hand. I've had it on for a few minutes and it's extremely comfortable. I shall be keeping this, apologies to the taste police. Already got it at a substantial discount so not going to take a hosing if I move it on down the line.

Good for you.
Opportunities for gratuitous insults aside, it is after all your taste that dictates what you like, not anyone else's.
I couldn't live with that crown guard arrangement, but have to admit that it is a lovely-looking watch in all other aspects.
Happy to be in a minority with this - it looks great, better in the metal than in the renders, and fit and finish look very good. Enjoy!
Hey it's nice to see something different, absolutely no need to feel cautious the fact they aren't widely appreciated on here, good for you for going for it.So it arrived. Quite like it actually.

Like a couple others here I really do like the noseart models and if I saw one for a good price is be very tempted(although my missus would probably be discusted by the principal, haha).
Your one looks pretty damn good though and certainly wears well on your wrist. Sounds like you got a bargain, enjoy!
Man City were very impressive.
Your choice of watch is interesting-looks a bit like my bicycle tyre pump which frustratingly does not tell the time.
God bless distance selling. Straight back in the post without even opening it
All I can say is that you had better start saving up for the final, God only knows what you will sign up to if they win.
You could always ask wifey to switch the internet off for the night and give her your phone as a precautionary measure.
Could have been worse, could have been a Panerai or a Hublot
Don't think I'll ever be that plastered :)

Not the worst thing you could possibly buy!
I'm gonna be very disappointed if you can't light a cigar with that crown guard
Meths?
