A watch that caused hesitation
I hesitated on purchasing a limited watch recently, and I regret it but the impulse purchase after missing a watch is REAL! But I'll hold strong. Looking for the next white dial sport watch I enjoy, that'll be the one I pull the trigger on.
What's a watch you regret passing on?

Spinnaker Fifty Phantoms isn't necessarily a regret, more of a "it would be nice to have".

Absolutely, that one was another that would've been nice to have.
Tudor North Flag. Gutted I missed it, but held out & got my Grail (sm300 heritage) .
There have been a few vintage watches that I probably should have bought, but just didn't. Truth be told, I'm not into such obscure watches that I won't be able to find them again, but I'll usually be paying more for it.
I still remember deciding not to up my eBay bid on a vintage blue Titan (not the Indian brand) dive watch that I liked, maybe 10 years ago. I can't even remember what was so special about it, but the feeling of missing it really stuck with me.
What was the one you missed out on?

I know it sat, and it sat for a while 🤣🤣 but I didn't get the Longines Hodinkee Titanium.
Just checked today and it's gone, made me get the wave of FOMO.
No regrets. Only lessons.
I need to learn how to 'not buy' every watch I want...LOL

Ouch, I know that feeling, like the floor just dropped out from under ya. That's a cool watch too. But you may still be able to get one eventually if you really want one and are willing to hunt one down on the secondary market.
Then again, there was a reason you hesitated, probably many, and I bet they are valid reasons that perhaps you were actually wise to heed.
