    Ok guys, tell me I'm an idiot and I need to reel it back in...

    I was recently shopping two watches, pre-owned, that have been on my short list for wellover a year. BB58 blue and GP Vintage 1945. I tried on the larger BB years back atmy old AD, but it felt too chunky. BB58 works well on my 7.5" wrist though. I owned a 1945,but it was a silver dial version with silver hands, proved difficult to read. I want a darker dial....


    Then, as I was shopping GP's I realized that Laureato's have dropped significantly. Then I started the conversation in my head "instead of the two, you could get one...
    "


    Help me stop this thought, which I cannot shake!

    Sorry for typos, most recent Samsung update seems to have made it even more difficult for me to type

    Is that why I can't spell anymore? Oh, wait that's been ten years or so, already.

    They closed the boarding door, then I took this picture. Row to myself. Wonderful!

    Forget that it’s 1:2 or 2:1, which single watch do you want the most?

    If it’s the Laureato, just be prepared for still wanting the other two.

    But it's not that though is it - it's 2 or 1! Can't discount that.

    Personally, I like both the other two better than the Laureato, so it’s an easy choice for me.
