I have tried on a few watches today and I'm not sure if I'll be able to sleep tonight

You know what I mean: your brain working non-stop trying to assess all the options, pros and cons the whole night.



And why? - I ask to myself - I'm very happy with my current collection and have a few plans for the near future, so why do I need to continue watching around and complicate things? Well, we all know the answer to this question.

I'm enjoying a weekend trip with my wife, and during her "shopping time", I planned to visit a watch dealer which seemed to have quite an interesting stock.

Please, have a look with me. Sorry for the very poor pictures but I took them very quickly not to bother the kind salespeople too much.

First, I tried on this gorgeous Lange Datograph in RG. Objectively, it would be a great addition to my collection, considering the brand, the movement and the color of the metal. It's also my wife's favourite...



Second, I tried this 5070 YG. I must confess that this version is not for me, but I can say that now I understand why this reference is so beloved. I really look forward to seeing other versions in the future.





The third and fourth were these two beautiful 5270Gs, with old (001) and new (018) dials, respectively. Initially, I liked the 018 more, but the I believe I prefer the 001 on the wrist, with its dark hands and markers. Definitely two watches to die for that make me reconsider my entire collection 😱









And I didn't want to leave the store without trying on a couple of sport models. Again, not looking for any, but couldn't resist to try.

First I tried on the famous AP ROO JPM in Ti. I always wanted to see one in person and it's definitely one of my favorite ROOs, no question. Very special.



And last but not least, a RM005, which you might have already seen in the background on another picture. I've seen a few RMs in the past and I somehow admire the brand, but always thought these watches were not for me... until I saw this RM005 today on my wrist, OMG, I love it.



The good news is that I cannot afford most of these watches now, so I should sleep tonight like a baby after a long day. The bad news is that my brain has already started thinking about alternative options... 😅😅😅

Thanks for reading and good night 😜
