Would you have pulled the trigger?

Was just in a shop in Geneva, they had a Tudor got in the window... apparently they had already sold 2 today. I had my card out and then chickened out.... would you have bought it ?

Personally. No.

I’m assuming GMT.

I have honestly never had any desire to own a Tudor. I’ve considered several purchases over the years - but none have yielded purchases.

Did you want it? That's the only question that matters.

Nope, but the Tudor GMT doesn’t really excite me like the Rolex does.

If it would have been the 58 then yes, but the GMT no

If you wanted it and can afford it, then yes. Life’s too short for regrets. If you weren’t sure then no.

If you hesitated then I think you made the right call. I don’t think any 2018 Tudor will be hard to get in 2019.

Hmmm not sure there's much to chicken out on - simply enough did you want it or not? If you wanted it and they had it sure why not. You probably made the right choice -

Personally, no. IMO you made the right choice since walking away implies you have doubts.

Personally, I won't. And I guess you aren't convinced either which explains your hesitation.

You made the right decision, you knew the hype was influencing you more than your heart... or at least your credit card did!

No.
That watch is too chunky. Spend that money on a 16570 if you want a GMT function.

Regardless of what anyone here might have done, you passed on it, so that’s what your gut said to do. Keep looking, you’ll have other chances and you might see something else that really grabs you. Cheers!!!

Past history would suggest that I would have purchased the watch, provided I had enough money to get back home after that purchase.

I happen to like Tudor and I think the GMT is a killer watch.

I no longer have a local AD, but as I said before given my past history, if the opportunity arose, I'd be all over it like white on rice.
