Busy week...
I'd decided a couple of weeks ago that I really wanted a Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial after having visited them in a boutique. I thought I really wanted the Spectre, but had sort of talked myself out of it, trying to say it didn't justify the extra cost/etc.I was really digging the Titanium model on bracelet, and decided that was the one for me. I had a lot of trouble finding one, and was finally able to secure one. Paid on Monday, this arrived on Tuesday:It's sweet. The Ti is light, yes, but the bezel and movement add some weight to it. It's really hard to capture the blue in pictures...and it changes depending on the light. I actually don't mind the PCL's like I thought I would. Seems to be just about right on this particular model.So, what's done is done...right?Well...After getting it, just like a cheating bastard I kept thinking damn...what if I had gotten the Spectre? I was second-guessing myself and wondering if I settled instead of just getting what I wanted in the first place

I've taken my 5980/1A out of the safe today, it has been sitting there for a while, kinda missed it. I've been also trying to find a perfect dress Patek to compliment the 5980 and I have my eyes set on the 5205r black dial, I think this reference would truly go well with it, what do you guys think? couple of snaps of my other watches in the mix with 5980ss
