The weight adds up? What are you, a meerkat?

I had the same experiences as you with the Oris but I only gave it three or four weeks before I knew that the romance was over.

The worst part about it was I must have tried it on six or seven times at the AD before pulling the trigger. Even when you think you're sure, you're not.

In reverse, I tried on the Seiko speed timer over 10 times and was convinced that I could never love it because of the solar dials. And then one drunken evening I pulled the trigger and the only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. Such a fabulous size.

Yes, if OP thinks Hamilton is a sideways step thin is the natural step up.

I was a bit like you in the first couple of years of collecting. And then one day you look at your collection and realise they all look the same (or better still, your wife will point out that they're all the same , and up until then you have dismissed her opinion as ignorance but then realize that she's right).

I used to not like gold. Now I like gold.

I couldn't stand diver watches. Now I have four.

I thought 38 mm was my sweet spot and all my watches should be that. Now I enjoy watches across a range of different sizes.

It's fine to come up with your own rules but don't be surprised if you break them down the track.
