What can I say? Regret can be an expensive lesson but peace of mind is priceless π€¦ So here is the back story. I will try to be brief. I was originally offered this watch from a boutique when it was first launched. Regretfully, I declined as I already had ...
Congrats for making that move - I personally find it very hard to revise earlier taken non-shopping decisions when it shows afterwards that they were the wrong ones ;-)
Thank you for posting this excellent photo of the GMT gears & levers. For me the first impulse not to buy would not have been revisited, but I am glad you got your piece of mind in the end.
You couldn't have put it better; life is too short, peace of mind and content are priceless. That is what money for (within reason of course). Rarity aside, this is a really nice piece. I would be happy to have this as my only watch.
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...
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...
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;-)
There are new year's resolutions and then there is this "Terminator" kind of resolution ! Good to hear the "backstory" to how this piece entered your collection. Trust that the Terminator will not "terminate" the expansion of your collection.
Your 2022 has already started with a loud bang, Justin. This 5650G has become so unattainable for mere mortals. If your friend sells you for half a $mil, heβs not your friend ok, lol πππ Amazing incoming πͺπ»ππ»ππ»

Terminator! Great story, we all must have our personal lessons, but I can only agree with you: Money is only money, it goes and gone again, so never mind!!! Truly yours, Adam
the watch is fantastic and looks great on you. No brainer as these are now even "investment pieces" (not important in watches but heh when parting with money is good to know). What is your friend getting to be "much more important" ? π
