The upside is that when you don't really love it, there aren't any consequences. There are then those where you only went to look, but that's another story. Cheers JML
Thanks a lot RabidManatee for your confession. I can view it now. It deserved to be included here: two great unplanned purchases. You did well in following your whims. The yellow...
... dial Seiko diver adds a bit of Sun and warmth to your wrist and the GMT GS is a superb timepiece and with a very practical complication. I own a similar one with a different dial color which was my first GS and started my love for the brand. Still enjoying it so much.
Keep enjoying them so much and have a nice weekend. Cheers! Abel

Hello Kurt! Agree with you: idle time in an airport is inviting to some whim purchases, be it chocolates, accesories for our cell phone, magazines... or watches!
This one you share here is a great purchase for sure. I´m sure you will never regret it.
Thank you for sharing with us in a nice shot. Cheers! Abel

Always a pleasure Abel, Wristscan is fun!
Yes you are correct airports are inviting for whim purchases. My good lady always makes a beeline for the expensive perfume and luggage stores 🤷🏻♂️

Cheers Drek🍻
Agree, no two photos the same. I was lucky with the sea state due to offshore wind. Looking forward to a lot more of this theme🌊 throughout summer. 😉
It would have
to be my Omega 2383-5 I was in Vaxjo in Sweden when I saw an opticians and watch shop (which I thought a slightly bizarre combination). My curiosity peaked I went in to have a browse and walked out with this, my first Omega 😀
Hello Drek! Agree with you that an Opticians/Watchshop is a bizarre combination!! But it offered you a unique lucky find with this lovely vintage Omega which I guess is from...
... the mid 1940´s/50´s and looks in wonderful condition. A great way of entering the World of Omega.
A very rewarding unplanned purchase for sure. Thank you for sharing! Hagwe, Abel

Thanks Abel
You were bang on with the age, it’s 1944/45. It is in good condition, but the dial has been restored and the crown replaced. Although the case and movement all match up as they should. I’ve definitely enjoyed wearing it 😀
Thank you so much for the clarification about the details of your charming vintage Omega Drek...
Even if it has some "imperfections" from the point of view of a purist collector I feel that main thing is that you feel enjoyment when owning and wearing it. This watch is so nice indeed.
Thank you again for sharing it here! Hagwe, Abel
You are very right there
I also enjoyed researching the watch after I bought it, which was the opposite of normal. Like walking a different way home, it’s always good to go a different way once in a while 😀
Mainly Swatches

Swatch make some very tempting watches …
I can easily see how buying “a few” on a whim happens.
It was an unplanned purchase for me…
Bought on a whim … even if I had previously declared: “not for me!!”
