When a plan doesn't come together.

If you get into things, whatever they maybe, you invest time in something, you evolve with the hobby.

You get a new perspective on things, you learn and then looking back, what you thought was amazing, no longer isn't.

I have that problem with whisky.

Several years ago I bought a black dial Breitling Superocean Steelfish 44mm, it was a great watch but I always felt that it was a bit heavy on the wrist and like many others watches it was eventually moved on.
Roll forward a couple years and the chance came up to buy a 42mm SO with a silver dial and this was a lot better to wear albeit only two mm smaller, but this time the dial was the problem and I really wanted the same watch only with the blue dial version and subsequently the silver dial SO was sold on.

for the last 4 years I've looked on and off for the blue dial version, there's always been plenty 44mm going around, but not many of the 42mm with this dial layout. Fast forward to the other day and I found one on watchfinder and payment was sent and the watch turned up today and while it looks like a cracking watch I seem to have lost the love for this design and it will be heading back, can't quite explain it, but that's this watch hobby for you.

Sounds like you realize you can't make a profit.
Nothing new.

I like vintage breitlings a lot, however, many of their newer models just don’t do it for me.

Yeah- would take that over that Breitling any day. Frankly, of all you mentioned, I think what’s in your wrist there is the most versitile and visually striking. It’s elegant and timeless, but the blue makes it whimisal as well. That would also look stunning on tan leather. A jubilee can be had on the used market, the oyster in a DJ is classic.
