What watch did you almost buy but thankfully didn’t?
Have you ever had a watch you were so close to buying but didn’t, but looking back at it you’re glad you didn’t buy it?
For example: I was tempted to drop lots of cash on a Maurice Lacroix Aikon 39, but came to my senses when I realized that it would be too big for me, and I simply didn’t love it to the point where I could justify the price.
Anyone else have close calls?

Apart from stainless steel sports watches, I'm a huge aerospace fan and have a passion for anything with a jet or rocket engine strapped to it.

I'm currently battling in my mind whether to buy the monochrome Tudor Black Bay Heritage METAS...
Jody at JOMW almost made me buy a 1000m diver for 75€ last week. I even ordered it. Then I cancelled it. I DON'T NEED ANOTHER WATCH!
I’d say it was probably the Tudor Pelagos 39 & Tudor Ranger. The P39 titanium just made it feel a bit weightless and dare I say cheap. And the Ranger just bored me to sleep in the AD itself.
Both looked so good on YouTube 😅😅
Yep, I nearly went for this Hublot. However in my heart I knew it wasn't for me. The saleswoman was very persuasive, but I relented. 😉
I was 2 minutes late to buy a Breitling avenger 43mm, but thankfully the store had closed. It was waaay to big, but seemed like the right size at the time. Those 2 minutes saved me a pretty penny 😄

Ah, that operative word, “need”. Like you, I don’t “need” another watch but I WANT another watch. 😂
Actually looks perfect on your wrist
Maurice Lacroix as well but what stopped me was the release of the PRX.
Pretty much every watch when I was 17 that was a fossil or guess brand lol.
Yes. The Tissot PRX
Fun fact. Tissot prx before the plastic movement was known. Pulled the trigger on the aikon and love it. Lucky I didn't went with the prx.
