Horological Meandering

Have you ever walked into a watch store 100% sure of what model you were going to purchase but you end up walking out with another watch? Just happened to me. Ready to pull the trigger on AP Royal Oak Offshore. Tried on the watch many times in the store w... 

Bought another watch? Yes. And have gone in planning to buy, but didn't. And went intending to buy nothing, but did. And met a friend who was planning to buy a watch, and bought one off his wrist while walking through the parking lot. Alas. There is no pr...
