I was also offered this at retail and passed. I have also regretted it ever since. You have my upmost respect for making the jump now. A jump too far for me but I am with you about you only live once and itβs only money. Enjoy this special new addition to your family. M.
Believe me Miles, I felt the same way. BIG leap from retail not anything I thought I would do but what really pushed me over the edge this time was the reasoning behind why my friend was selling it in the first place ππ
Thanks for the kind words Miles, much appreciated. As for investment, trust me, I got that covered ππ. Watches have been a passion of my for over 30 years. I don't consider watches investments at all but I do understand why others do...

I don't really give a FLIP if my watches go up or down. If people are so worries about about the financial ramifications of watches going up or down, they shouldn't be buying them in the first place. Much better investments in plain sight everywhere πππ
And the financial burden of this purchase isnβt an issue then it was a no brainer purchase if you love the watch. Iβve never been in this enviable position and my watches have formed part of my financial plan albeit only ever bought watches I love wearing and never bought any watch for pure financial reasons. Hope that makes sense. M.
Makes perfect sense Miles. Not trying to say any different but we all need to understand that these are LUXURY items so NO ONE really needs any watch over 50 EUR. My point being, we should be buying them for the the joy and passion...

I remember it sitting on display and not generating the buzz it deserved at launch, and kicking myself for not getting it at the time.. Hindsight is a beautiful thing;-)
I really like AP as well but not many of their new pieces are that appealing to me. Maybe something in the future π. I just posted my Anita piece in the Indie forum which you should find tasty π
