Long story about 441, 392, 329 and 233

A long story...

Was able to score 441 O at Singapore early this year... Then I was not sure I can wear 441 everyday... It's bea-u-to-fool watch IMO. Just can't thin about worrying about dropping it which I have not dropped a single my watch in the past...

Then a friend of mine wants it as with price I paid so I sold... Which I do not regret! One of my best friends...

Then look for 392... Somewhat very comfy on my wrist... Then my chaos starts...

I travelled lots internationally and love GMT and realized "shoot"...

So I was looking for 7k range GMT so look for 329 or 329 (personally love this over 321). Almost decided then spent some weeks...

Now I am ordering 233 in 2 weeks incoming....

Plus ordered 351 for my younger brother...

God... Watch is killing me but on the other hand dreaming about the day in 2 weeks from today...

No stories just how easily your journey can grow to something different from original... Well at least now I am sure I am done for decision.

Cheer me up!!!!

Certainly insane 4 month journey....

Great choice. I have the 441 as well but I'm considering adding the 233 to my collection.
