When I was researching for my Daytona Zenith, I also looked at a classic Speedy. In the end, I got the Daytona.. and swore the Daytona was my last big purchase.

But after a while.. got a Speedy Reduced to scratch that itch.

Roll on a year or so... that itch got worse.. looked at a Sea Dweller (1665 or triple 6).. but found a beautiful Red Sub Mk4 within my budget..

Started saving up for that Sea Dweller again.. hopefully I can keep from being distracted from an Omega 3510.20 when I next travel to Tokyo.

Do you find that once you start down that path of getting that something special, it gets harder to stop looking at the next thing!?

Yep, try not to think about it but just enjoy it, tried fighting it but it just gets worse

currently saving hard for the 6239, although the temptation to fall off the wagon is strong at the moment
