Not so much regret as a lesson learned. Similar stage to yourself, picked up an orient bambino on Jomashop. Saw “good value” on a Tissot visodate heritage quartz and, incentivized by the shipping costs, bought that too. It wasn’t terribly expensive, and looks unlike anything else I already had, but it didn’t give the same fuzzy feeling as putting on the Orient which I had researched and was emotionally invested. An important lesson in being more discerning.
Out of curiosity, why buy an Orient watch from jomashop? Was it used? All of their stuff is pretty affordable, why not just buy it used from Amazon or something?
While jomashop does have used high end watches the low end stuff is typically grey market not used. You are likely to get pretty much the best price there if they have what you want, but you’ll get the jomashop warranty not the manufacturer’s.
Ahh gotcha
as a matter of fact, Jomashop actually had a pretty big sale on new Orient Bambino watches a week or two ago. It was front page on most of the “deal” websites
