You snooze...you lose!

I've been eyeballing this outstanding 16753 GMT-Master for weeks now. I finally decided to make an offer on it. Unfortunately, the
seller was already awaiting a wire transfer of funds from a buyer in France. The funds were received. Damn! Gotta keep looking, I guess...

Nice watch but you made the right move. You saw what you like and you actually took the time to think about it before cutting the check. I wish I had that ability. If I did I wouldn't have had to have the boat I bought 2 years ago and traded it in April and lost enough $$$ to buy 3 DDII's and added some bling.... Did the same crap with my RV. Went to a RV show and left with one. Had it 3 months and realized it just wasn't big enough so I went and got a class C. Lost a nice WG Sub on that transaction. I commend you on thinking about a purchase for all of us impulse buyers. Sad you lost it though.

Yeah, I'm still kicking myself for sleeping on it too long.
