OK, who has a (watch) plan for 2015?

I had spent quite a long while lusting over it this year, and recently found myself in a position to move up from passive longing to active pursuit. Still, I like all my watches, I shall happily stare at them until a new desire comes into focus

You're allowed to wear them in addition to staring at them, you know.

If everything else is original, and the dial is a quality job, and you love the piece...why not buy it ?, unless you're a purist of course.

Generally speaking I get different pleasures from new watches and vintage watches, and I'm not sure how I would feel trying to combine the experiences. Also iirc correctly the manufacturer of the confection was charging quite a lot for it.

My thoughts are in a bit of a jumble. For example: I would have zero problem with someone lovingly restoring something original which had got into a bad state.

This I fear.

Or just downright fussy

Generally speaking I find that impure things are best when cheap and dirty, no?

Not always, or you may need a service & cleaning soon

Only you know whats best, do what your heart tells you...I think it best to walk away.

This is especially true!
