Just wondering guys, have you?

I think the nearest I came to that was the Electric Blue 2255.80. It was not so much an impulse buy since I had been admiring John's pictures when he first bought one and decided to check it out at an AD. I was due to venture into town and decided to drop into an AD on the way to my meeting. I had phoned ahead to ensure that they did have an example for viewing and the moment I set eyes on it I knew my mind was made up. The moment I left the AD I was on the phone to my dealer and mine arrived 4 working days later. It wasn't an impulse buy in as far as I didn't walk out of the door with the watch but I did place an order for it :001_smile:

​

Things happen in twos at times. A year later I had just taken delivery of the Great White when I dropped by another dealer in the Bond Street area and saw the Blue AT. Having just spent a small fortune on the GMT I had just about used up all my watch-buying tokens ( terminology courtesy of Tricky Dicky ). So the Electric Blue was sold to accommodate the Blue AT. I just loved the way the light was reflected off the brushed surface of the dial.

​

How about you then pals? Any " off the cuff " purchases to report....... confess even? :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:


Y'all be well now

Yes, mine was a used watch...didn't ask many questions because it was a watch I had my eye's on and turns out I got burned....seems like the owner tried to regulate the time he bent the second hand...I did get some money back....but I've since learned my leason...."take your time"!

Never with a watch. I always take weeks sometimes even months to ensure I truly want the watch.

yes and no Mr Houston,

when I get the impulse, I usually then decide for sure that I want the watch, then I look and study untill the time is right then I act...

I usually know the second I see something that I want it, but I look around and either find the deal that feels good or get out of the mood.
so YES and NO.

Well Guys

Normally I take time over my decisions too. In both the above cases, the research rather took weeks or months but the decision at first sight was a little more instant or instinctive......

Doubt if I'll ever go down that route again


Y'all have a great week ahead

Hi Zin,

I wouldn't say I fell victim to an impulse buy because that sounds like I regretted it afterwards. However, my Jumping Hour was an impulse buy. I knew it was rare and I wouldn't get another chance to get one. It was the right price and it came from an AD.

I still love it after two and half years.
