1982 Rolex.

I regret my Oris big crown pointer date. I’ve worn it maybe 5 times since I bought it almost 2 years ago. I wish I had that money back. I have four watches that I love. A Rolex submariner, a Rolex date, a Marathon arctic GSAR, and a mechanical Hamilton field watch. The first two I inherited, and I purchased the latter two.

I caught the watch buying bug and also picked up a Ball watch, a Longines, and the Oris. I managed to sell the Longines, for a significant loss. I still occasionally wear the Ball, but I truly regret the Oris. It looks old fashioned and I find the dial hard to read.

I wished I’d listened when people said be careful about getting sucked in and buying too many watches.

Beware my tale. I suspect our numbers are legion.
