Regrets, I've had a few...

[ac11111]

I tend to regret buying some rather than selling it. If I came to sell it there’s always a reason, and I’ve never sold a watch I still really liked, but I have had a rush of blood and purchased without really thinking whether it was a temporary lust or something longer term I would actually wear, e.g. Bulgari octo chrono

16613 Submariner.

I adored this watch for years and I still do. I just HAD to have it.

But when I got it, I didn't feel comfortable wearing gold in my early 30's. It was too ostentatious.

So I went to 16610 steel Sub and never looked back.

But it wasn't the fault of the watch. It has one of the nicest dials ever.

Not buying a UN Freak from Harrods in London.

the staff couldn't have been more helpful and despite not having a clue about who I was were more than happy to let me try it on, have a long chat about the watch and others and were just very welcoming. With it not being a special or on sale I decided to have a think about it (other purchases were on the horizon) and then life got in the way. On my next visit to London I had every intention of going back to Harrods to buy one and discovered that they'd stopped selling UN. The nearest dealer was Watches of Switzerland on Brompton Road. Had a polar opposite experience. Not very friendly, generally dismissive and they had no stock but were supposed to give me a call back to let me know how long it would take to get one. No phone call received and now four months have passed.

… and despite not having a clue about who I was….

Are you a celebrity of some description then?

Was offered a new ND sub in 2017 at list in the bullring. Was £5400, thought I might prefer the GS diver SD at £4k. Bought neither through procrastination now my £4k barely buys a bag of sweets so my wrist says empty 😂

Wow! Just wow. You have exemplary taste, and are living proof that there's no such thing as a 'Keeper'!

Hope you're keeping well?

Thanks!

Those are my main "regrets" after buying and selling for 20 years.

I'm having good days and bad days, but doing well.

... but doing well.

Delighted to hear it, long may it continue
