The indecisive watch buyers' thread
Since Mike's thread got locked, all of us indecisive types dont have any single thread where we can discuss potential purchases, personal insecurities and other associated watch-related behavioral disorders.
That thread ended up being about high-end watches, but let's make this more all-encompassing. If you want to buy a watch, but cannot decide upon what to get, if you are trying to reduce the list of purchase candidates... this is the thread to share your stream-of-consciousnss thoughts with others.
So let me get the ball rolling - as some of you know, I have 2 themes to my collection: my core collection is planned at 12 watches, and there, my approach is to have a carefully curated collection of watches covering interesting brands, complications, styles and colors. I have 10 complete, and have 2 slots left - #12 will be an End Game Watch (Patek 5712, Lange Chrono or ??).
Slot #11 is still up in the air. Candidates for this include Nomos Club/Metro, VC 1942 and GP 1966. And now, a new entrant.. well, enters... the picture: The Sarpaneva Korona K3. The rationale for this - it would be nice to have one watch in the collection that is different from the rest, either in terms of being more whimsical or in terms of style/materials. I actually would have liked to get a Hublot here, but all their interesting models, with the cutting edge materials, are 44-45mm and too big for my wrists. The Sarpaneva is 42mm and wearable.
Thoughts?
And feel free to share your own watchy indecisiveness. We are among friends here.
