Actually, no, I had no intention of buying another watch this year . . .
. . . but then, Grand Seiko doesn't make 'just another watch'.
Looking back on it, I think my unawareness of the Night Birch was the critical factor. Had I known about it, even if only thru online pics, I would've been prepared for the experience. Seeing it 'cold' overwhelmed my senses.
Word to the wise: information is preparation.
