Shameful watch purchases (Mod edit: This post has been nominated for post of the year !)

Dor_42 · Nov 12, 2020

I’m sure we all had that one watch we got when we were young, clueless about watches or just when we had really bad taste.

What was or is the watch purchase you made you wish you hadn’t?

let’s see if you can top this abomination-

I think I was 19 when I bought this, if I could only go back in time and stop myself from making this purchase ::facepalm1::

Go on, judge me, I can take it!

I don't think I regret buying any watches because they were shameful, but I was very ignorant and took a perfectly good Omega CK 2627 and just ruined it because the factory told me it was gold over steel. The bezel had gotten lost along the way... so Omega applied a gold bezel, and I had the dial refinished and changed the hands.

Oddly enough, my watchmaker is finishing up a KO 2627, gold over steel, for me...

I sincerely hope that the "Old habits die hard" doesn't apply here.

I had to get this off my chest!

I don’t know I’ve made any shameful watch purchases. Sure I’ve made a few questionable purchases of the vintage kind which I have lost money, but I consider it a learning curve.

Yeah, I don’t think I have ever been that drunk or that trendy come to think of it. 😁

Can you post the Rap music video you were in wearing it......

I once believed a seller that said the non-running Accutron just needed a battery. At least it was a cheap mistake.

I hope you feel better, now and give you kudos for your honesty and courage. Your secret is one I would have carried to my death bed.
