I achieved my grail last December, swore to myself I was done, then saw an almost flawless 16710, recently serviced with two inserts, and well you know..

incoming yet again

THC · 9 August 2020, 01:39 AM

Grrr, upside down, can someone flip these, please?

nachopc · 9 August 2020, 01:41 AM

Congratulations, is quite easy to loose our minds for beautiful things like that.

Enjoy in good health!

Kirsty87 · 9 August 2020, 01:52 AM

That is a stunner of a watch! Lovely condition.

KBM · 9 August 2020, 02:00 AM

Well, of course you NEEDED a steel sports watch to pair with the DD. It's only rational. Now maybe a dressy piece on a leather strap. And a complication. And a diver, perhaps?

Nikrnic · 9 August 2020, 02:07 AM

Lovely 16710... I doubt we are ever truly "done"

pain888 · 9 August 2020, 02:15 AM

Nothings wrong with you!!
Well done.....

THC · 9 August 2020, 02:21 AM

Thanks all, more pics hopefully right side up..

C0d · 9 August 2020, 02:26 AM

Enjoy your new piece in good health. Its a stunner.

atxishome · 9 August 2020, 02:32 AM

I think there are so many intricacies and aesthetics that we get drawn to the longer we research and love watches. The problem, no one watch captures every single aspect of our likes. In fact these intricacies and aesthetics are spread out over so many different watches that fulfilling all of them would require a massive collection.

I'm falling victim to this as well.

I agree, it's a disease!

Congratulations, it's beautiful!

Rado63 · 9 August 2020, 02:38 AM

You have your own money to spend and you are fortunate to be enjoying life. You have to live now. Great watch very cool two inserts.

The Kermit · 9 August 2020, 02:40 AM

Congratulations

Rashid.bk · 9 August 2020, 02:47 AM

Awesome, congrats. Which is next, you know you’re thinking about one.....

ltmgeller · 9 August 2020, 02:57 AM

Congrats!

Handey0465 · 9 August 2020, 02:58 AM

Maybe you’re materialistic and always chasing a new high by making vain purchases.

Always chasing, and never satisfied.....

Start with watches, creeps into cars, then homes, and eventually, you get dissatisfied with your spouse....

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

or

Did you really want a breakdown? Or for us to condone your lavish hobbies... :)

RichM · 9 August 2020, 03:05 AM

Beautiful piece Tom. Huge congratulations!

Nonsense. A fascination with watches can be self-contained. I’ve been a watch freak for most of my life, but I’m very satisfied with my house, don’t have a car, and have never wanted more than just the one wife.

Unless you were kidding, in which case I’m the one who needs to chill out

Anyway... OP: beautiful GMT, enjoy it!

thesharpe · 9 August 2020, 03:14 AM

Fantastic reference.

Congrats and enjoy!!

If I was you I would have done that. If it makes you feel any better..

Very nice, and to answer your question, there is nothing wrong with you. On the other hand, had you passed up that 16710, I would have questioned your sanity.

Marcaine · 9 August 2020, 03:20 AM

Maybe it is the "THC"....

Great purchase. I have been looking for the same package. You have to feel good about the recent service and the coke bezel pushes it over the top.

Enjoy.

Eacast · 9 August 2020, 03:20 AM

Sorry to say, you will never be done.. been there, said that and 13 watches latter i am still going...

Enjoy, beautiful watch.

Thank you Dr. Sigmund Freud.

Lemme take an amateur shot at this: OP has a self-deprecating sense of humor like many of us here and made a fun comment.

TimeAZ · 9 August 2020, 03:27 AM

A beautiful piece, very tasteful, congrats!! Saw a couple of these in person in the preowned area of AD and they are super tempting.

Bladeshot · 9 August 2020, 03:31 AM

Nothing wrong with you, Tom!!!
That is a perfectly logical thing to do. You selected an amazing reference. And... you have multiple inserts. Try that with ceramic.

Some ADs don’t even like to change ceramic inserts using the proper tools. One told me so.

You can change your inserts with a disposable plastic knife, from a take-out meal.

Well done! Enjoy.
