Why'd you sell it, Travis? Maybe you should upgrade to the 389?

I actually prefer the cleaner look of the all titanium bezel as opposed to the black ceramic on the 389.
Also like the exhibition case back on the 305.
I think I tried to talk myself out of it after owning it for a while. Makes no sense at all.
I think it's time to start looking...

You could look for a 382 or maybe even a 507 for a little change up. Just a thought. The 305 is a very clean design.

The point is .. Would you pay 20K to own a 382 when you can potentially have three 305's with the same funds ?

After speaking with Nishant, I will put the 389 into consideration as well.
So it's all gonna come down to 305 vs 389.
Looking foward to getting a 47mm Sub back in the mix!

I'd go 305 over the 389. That just a tough watch.

I love my 305 and never - not even for one second - have I thought about selling it.

Both very nice, i really like the dial change on the 389... Its the reason (along with Nishant's pics) i walked into the boutique last week... Either one is a winner
