Bought two watches today.....

Post by bleddrewsoe » Thu Dec 03, 2009 8:16 pm

And I am closing in on a third.

When I fall off the wagon I fall hard :naughty:

Now what am I going to sell to pay for this stuff :think:

Here is #2. Had a black dial version of this last year but ended up selling it. Went with the white dial for the second go around...

I know exactly what you mean. I fell off a couple weeks ago. Think I'm good for a while now. I must have passed it on. :gift:

Liking #2! :love: (Nothing wrong with a good GMT)

So, what's #3?

I am finding it hard to resist one of those new Deep Blue divers. I mean a man can never have too many 2000m divers right. This is the one I am looking at:

bleddrewsoe, congrats. Two great looking watches. I really like that Lum-Tec. Have you seen the new divers that Lum-Tec is developing....man they look sweet. I really like the beefy looks of the 500m.

The Deep Blue looks good too. Have you seen the new photos Stan posted on his site of the new versions of the master 2000. I just ordered the brushed finish/black dial/orange hands version, it should be here Monday. Asian built with ETA movements. They look like a really good deal for the price.

3 nice snags. I have the LUM-TEC M17 and love it. I think they're 44 mm.

Nice choices all around. :clap:

That Formex really caught my eye. White with that deep dish dial looks very nice, can`t wait for pics on that one.

Good.

Now that you've gone off the deep end and bought three divers, I'm free to buy the Eterna KonTiki 1000M Diver and not feel an ounce of guilt (seeing Jay's in person last week was nothing if not revelatory). And when my wife comes gunning for my ass, I'll refer her to this thread. Problem solved.

Regards,
Adam

PS - In my case, I already know what's moving out to make room for the incoming... This one's gonna hurt. :banghead:

The bracelet is one of the reasons that I decided to get another one. It is really badass :headbang:

I hate to ruin your plan, but I may be down to 1 incoming :crybaby:

Got the Lum-Tec today and I sent it back. Nothing really wrong with it...it just did not blow me away and I need to be very picky with the limited watch budget these days. Lum-Tec has a 48hr no questions asked return policy so the experience will just cost me shipping charges.

Now I am also hesitating pulling the trigger on the Deep Blue...can't put my finger on it but I may hold off.

Nothing is stopping the Formex though...that is 100% all systems go. :bananastoner:
