Watches

Watches that I lusted over, but didn't buy at the time, went back and bought later, out of boredom and a wish to recapture that enthusiasm lightning.

After getting my first couple of Seiko's in my 20's I spent several years reading, and particularly wanting a particular Hamilton and Victorinox, amongst other stuff. They'd have been incredible watches for a guy in his late 20's.

Later, in my early 30's, after I'd bought several £2k-£4k watches, I thought I'd treat myself to the Victorinox.

But a watch that would have been incredible when you were 28 might not fit into your life at 33.

What would have been an incredibly upgrade from the Seiko's, was far less impressive coming from a Tudor.

But it's languished pretty damn hard in my box, and isn't worth reselling.

There are watches worth waiting years for, and there are watches that you know will work perfectly for your current circumstances. Provided you can afford it, don't wait to buy the latter.
