If we're honest it has happened to most of us. Through collecting I have learned the qualities that make a lasting relationship with watches. I only pull the trigger on those pieces and simply appreciate ones I know will be a passing fancy.

I have. Too many to mention here. But the ETA B.B. trio are ones that I never have those feelings about. I generally keep one on a bracelet and the others on leather/nato.

I would try it on the bracelet and see what you think. The. Put it away and see what life is like without it before letting it go.

I have an opportunity for the Black but not sure about pulling the trigger on that one if I’ll have the same feeling. Maybe it’s the red? Not sure

yes Peter,,,
I think the " thrill of the chase" is much more important the people give it credit for,,,,
For me its much more exciting searching,deciding what new piece that your going to add even more so then opening the box and wearing her,,,
if she dont sing then she needs to go gt500,,,,jay

If it is the ETA black and you are in the red right and can get out without getting hurt I would do that deal all day long.
