    The devil makes work for idle hands they say.

    Here am I savouring the Longines Legend Diver which arrived yesterday and already I'm plotting what next. I've got a couple of Geneve Dynamics on their way in and I greatly enjoy the older watches.

    But what next?

    So with a £2k budget I'm torn between a Planet Ocean, a Bond-generation Seamaster Professional or an older Speedmaster, maybe in a Mk NN case?

    Should I sit back and dither? Should I commit? With my problems what would you do?

    Oh and have a great weekend guys!!

    What are you basing the decision on? Potential wrist time? Complete a watch case? Fill a gap in the collection?
    My current hunt is for a PO as a daily, straight question, am I looking in the wrong places if you can get a goodun' for £2k?

    Purely on impulse! There are so many gaps in my collection it's a bit like a string vest hahaha!

    2k would get you plenty of DJ.

    You’re also in the golden era Chrono bracket.

    If you’re willing to go the v72 then you might even find something like Minerva just creeping in there as well.
