Help me. What should I buy?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now. I'm looking at these two awesome sauce watches and now I'm stuck!

Help me Crunchers, you're my only hope! *Recording repeats* Help me Crunchers, you're my only hope! *Ad infinitum ad nauseam*

So yeah, pros and cons. Pro, with the Asura, I can just buy it myself no problem because Wise ships to my country. Con, with the Duneshore Shallows I might need some help with a fellow Cruncher who would be willing to buy it and then send it to me in Malaysia (I foresee lots of asskissing and some dealing with PayPal to pay said Cruncher).

Con with the Asura, I have to wait until July to get it. Pro with the Duneshore Shallows, after Jan 24th (they're on vacation until then) it's just the normal waiting game.

So yeah, help me please!

Edit; I'll be making my choice by the results of this poll (yes, not kidding guys and gals, you are going to help me buy a watch!) by 9:00pm tomorrow, Pacific Standard Time (all the better to collect the most votes).

*Looks at poll results so far*

That poor Visitor. I guess our Indiana boy is getting a drubbing by the Thai contender.

And It’s not even close so far.

True dat. Oh well, I'll wait until 9pm PST tomorrow and buy the winner. Do you think I should go with the red dial or the grey dial?

I would prefer the gray one. I guess It’s more versatile. But i‘m also very monochromatic in my selections.

Not a problem. If you noticed the grey Thai numerals isn't LE like the red Thai numerals so I have some choices there.

The Asura is really beautiful. The Visitor.... Mmm... Nahh.

But it is your wrist, not mine!

That Asura is next level & easy winner 🏆😍👍🏻

Are all things really equal between the two watches? No one watch is pulling on your heart strings more strongly?

Which one of the watches do you really have to have? As in you will die if you don't have the watch. How desperate are you to have either?

Lastly, it seems to me that your only deciding factor is your wait time.

That and I just enough cash to buy one (especially with customs if I bought the Visitor). I just can't choose so I decided you guys be the judge.

If it's not the red one you should keep looking! Usually not into the red so much but that's gorgeous. 🍻

·

Looks like there's no more votes coming in and we have a clear tally?

So yeah, Wise Asura it is!

·

I think the Wise is a better looking watch and as such is worth the wait.

·

...and done!

Bought and got my notification. Thai numerals to offset the grey dial. Heh, got a $140 discount even!

Agreed and just finished my purchase.

Wait time and cash. Fact is, my friend, you will always contend with customs whenever you import via usual shipping process. It's part of the price. Your only escape is to constantly ask someone who goes to that watch's country of origin to buy for you, and then bring it back to your country.

If I were you, and you want both, it's then a matter of timing and patience. Depends to on the how big the window of opportunity is. If the window is open and will usually be open throughout the year, then that's a lesser priority. With this argument, I'd say go for the Visitor first. That window will seem to close sooner. The Asura will most likely be part of the main collection of Wise. So, you can get that later in the year.

Remember, patience is a virtue. If you find yourself lusting, stop. Pause. Relax and chill over the weekend. Then come back to it after a week or so. You need to learn how to delay gratification. Otherwise, you'll always be in this cycle the next time a blingy watch comes along.
