North Flag - quick decision needed

Hi All,

I've been in Singapore all week. I visited the Tudor Boutique at the Marina Bay Sands and tried on the North Flag on strap a few days ago. The sales lady offered 15% off and said after the tax refund it comes out to about $2900 USD, I told her I'd sleep on it. She's working today and said to come in today if I'm interested. I had some $ budgeted when visiting Tokyo if I found something really interesting, then ended up getting my wife something from Chanel as a mother's day present.

The North Flag always intrigued me and I've tried it on before, I like the strap versus the bracelet for this guy. This purchase would be strictly on impulse!

It's a nice watch, but if you need a nudge, I wouldn't buy on impulse.

I have a NF and love it but agree with Adam, impluse buys can lead to later regrets. At least it is true in my case with some early purchases.

I'd hold off, too. Intrigue can end quickly once the newness wears off - and it's a long way back to Singapore for a return.

But I must admit, the power reserve needle puts me off on a watch with a simple dial like that.
