Hi guys, the question is simple, I am trying to learn from your mistakes because I don't have money to make my own.
And I thought we could share some stories too.

I almost bought a Tudor Black Bay Pro when it came out, but finances just weren't quite right for it. So I looked at a few different GMT's instead, and bought a Seiko Sharp Edge GMT. Great watch, true GMT and wonderful finishing, but I just didn't bond with it. I didn't like wearing it, didn't want to wear it, and when I sold it, I lost like $400 compared to what I had paid. I suppose the lesson would be buy the watch you actually want, not the runner up, but hilariously I never ended up with the Tudor, and now that I have the Mido Ocean Star GMT, I don't feel like I need that Tudor at all. So really it's just that the Seiko wasn't the right watch for me.

So… keep buying watches that are more affordable than the one you really want until you stumble upon the perfect one?

Gotcha.
