Second Buyer's Remorse in two days, Anakin

So, i could not resist it ! And i dont regret it at all ! But just yesterday i bought the mark II gold plated and today i found this beauty locally and i just had to have it.

Im having remorse because, with the money spent on both the anakin and the mark 2 i could have bought the new marks 2 coaxial with racing dial.

What do you think ?

Picture attached
God bless

Sounds like you're an impulse buyer. I can't identify. I research and analyze a watch decision endlessly before I actually pull the trigger. My remorse is usually that it took me so long to buy a watch!

Enjoy your watches, or sell them.

Why regret it when you enjoy your vintage Omegas so much? I think it looks great and it certainly stands out. I'm sure the Racing dial remains on your list and will find its way into your collection at some point. Wear it in good health.

You have good taste in watches. Question is are you attracted to vintage omega as a category or the look of the watches :-)

If you look at the watch in the morning and want to put it on. Keep it :-)

Never regret a distinctive acquisition - and that's a big one there!

Well, if you bought used, chances are you can get most of your money back. Sell ang go for what you really want. That's the fastest way to peace of mind, imo.

That's a clean omega for sure! Just fix the tachymeter scale and enjoy!

I also have an original Mk II and its way cooler than the new one. No regrets!

I just wanted to clarify, to avoid any problems with the current anakin sale i have in the classified section.

I have two anakin's right now, the first one showed in this thread, which im not selling right now.

And the second one, the one currently for sale was bought through ebay a couple of weeks ago. I serviced the 861 movement, polish the case back and bracelet and decided to sell it.

The pictures of the one currently on sale are only in the classifieds section and not in this thread.

Im really sorry for the problems caused due to my lack of explanation.

Thank you everyone !!!
