What's your watch-buying style?

[CPTL]

We all do it differently.

The predator. It seems like most folks here get their sights set on a particular watch, and focus the effort on acquisition of this one elusive timepiece. Once it is acquired, they bask in the afterglow of success for a period of time (a few months, or hours for Bo and JJ) and then move on to the next acquisition.

The impulse buyer. Some folks will be hit all of the sudden by a watch, and purchase it on the spot with little or no reflection. "My wife and I were out shopping for purses, and I stepped into the AD. Sitting right there in the case was a ____. I couldn't resist!!" You never know what watch these folks are going to come home with, or when.

The lurker. (My personal style.) Some of us have a list we're quietly keeping an eye out for. We might casually search the usual websites or sources just in case something turns up. If one happens to pop up at the right price, we snatch it up.


This one was on my short list, and about a week ago it popped up. About two years old, very clean model, one owner purchased from AD, at a great price. So I snatched it!! Thanks Karis!!
