I saw this on another (less active) forum and thought it was a really interesting thread and therefore take no credit for the initial idea

So, which watch can you say you are chuffed to mint balls in getting your hands on and which was your greatest disappointment.

Starter for ten, my best was and still is a PloProf 1200 because I wanted a brand new watch (check), a huge discount (check), all available strap options (check) and it had to be as big as i felt i could go and as brash as possible (double check).

My biggest disappointment was an IWC Aquatimer, probably because I really lusted for one from photo's and when it landed it was just okay-ish.
