New Watch Ordered. Care to guess what?

Post by Thermexman »

Having just whittled my collection down from 12 to 7, it was time to bring the plan to fruition! The plan was to reduce numbers and use the money to buy a specific watch that I'd fancied. Although I started out with a specific purchase in mind, I decided to keep all options open and look at alternative possibilities. After weeks of looking around and pondering, I kept coming back to this one, so I've done the deed and it should be with me on Thurs! Care to have a guess as to what it is?
Here's a list of what I sold, to make room for this one, with some info to help you:
*Two went because I discovered the style was not to my taste.
*One went because it was close but not quite there.
*One went simply because it would overlap/clash with my new purchase!
*One went simply because it topped up the kitty.
I'm not going to say what applies to which.
Gone are:
1) CW C9 5Day.
2) CW C1000 Typhoon
3) Dan Henry 1963
4) Seiko SNZH53K1
5) Seiko Sarb 035

Of course, the real challenge here, is to see who can beat Guy (Bahnstormer_Vrs) to the answer! :lol:

It's a Grand Seiko Snowflake!

The chronos were not to your taste, the 5day was pretty close because it has the white dial/blue hands going on, the SARB overlaps from a style PoV and the SNZH was just to top the kitty up. Am I right or am I right? :D

Great attempt.
Wrong on choice I'm afraid!
Only correct on one of your deductions.
Sorry. Great reasoning though. :thumbup:
