I've been away from actively buying watches for a little while, and now I just want to buy everything that I see! :lol

That's NOT going to happen . . . but I'm just a "finger slip" away from buying something! LOL

I picked up the GD deal from InvictaShark last week, but that doesn't count as it was a "replacement" for a watch I already owned. I'm also looking to get a Jacques Lemans F1 GMT . . . again to replace a watch that I already owned, but traded about 2 weeks ago.

I really think that I'm AGAINST holding off to get "a grail" (>$1500) as I just don't have that need, sitting at home every day . . . I'd have little chance to wear it as "a grail". However, I don't want to get back into buying "deals" as I've spent almost 2 years doing that.

That last "new" watch that I bought was the Stuhrling Imperial Tourbillon on 11/24/09 (and we know what happened to that). Prior to that, a Renato Beast Dual-Time, back on 10/23/09 (which I traded about 2 weeks ago). Even the SAIII on rubber that I bought on 6/27/09 and the SAIII 7751 that I bought on 4/17/09 are now traded! This leaves the 3 SAS 7750s and the Philip Swan Power Reserve, as my remaining "new" purchases in 2009 (which all 4 watches were defective). Everything else that I have has been receive in trade or as a "gift". :)

God, I want to buy something!:eek: :lol

did SO ever fix your Tourby issues?
SO found the watch and send it out for repair. I have the "option" of buying it back from Stuhrling as it's already been officially retuned to ShopNBC for a refund (which I received the $$$). The option to buy it back was to occurr after the repairs. I haven't heard if the repair is completed.

In the interim, I've decided to move on. I want a Tourbillon, but not a new one that's just been repaired. :(

Rick-

I think we are all in the same boat as you when it comes to the need/want to buy watches. I say do what makes you happy and what you can afford. You have always been able to sell or trade if you grow tired of a watch. As for a "Grail" buy it if it feels right, but it sounds like your heart desires to buy more affordable watches. I'm in the NBZ now until I sell off some watches. I know I don't need anymore, but I do want a new one everyday LOL!!!

I to hear the call....but I am trying to be strong. I'm not looking for a grail but I would like my next buy to be a upgraded item like a Hammy or Marathon. Only time will tell.

It's not like I haven't bought anything, recently! :lol

It's just that wonderful rationalization process . . . creating clever ways to make it OK to spend money. :l

I have several watches that are 2 weeks old or less. Why not just chill, and enjoy them! :)

I think I need a trip to Tourneau (without my wallet), just to have some fun and get it out of my system . . . for now! :lol
