I sold my Omega SMP GMT Great White. While I like the watch a lot, I come to realizing I only need one SMP and its going to be the black Bond. So off it goes. Plus I found that I like the Bond bracelet much better, it looks better with the 20mm non-tapering links/clasp, and its more comfortable too!
Then comes the non-watch item. :p I wanted to "upgrade" my DSLR from Nikon D80 (DX) to D700 (FX), knowing that FX will provide 1:1 ratio on the frame captured and better low ISO performance. But the investment to go FX is just too much right now. So I end up getting a D300 and stay with DX format instead. Since I already have the lenses for DX from my D80, I don't have to shell out a lot of money for the upgrade. I pretty much only need to upgrade the DSLR body and re-use everything else (except that I need to get a CF card). D300 still able to give me better metering, betterlow ISO preformance, environment seal on the buttons, live view, etc.
In the future, I may get 35mm or 50mm f1.8 lens, 17-55mm f2.8 lens, SB800 speed flash, the battery grip and that's pretty much it. But that's for later and I am not in a hurry for them.
I have pushed my upgrade to D300 for a long time before I have put more of my "toy resources" into watches. For this time, the sales of the SMP GMT pretty much covers the cost of D300.
For my next watch, I am thinking about a Omega Speedmaster "moon watch" double sapphire, Omega Planet Ocean black/black 42mm, Rolex Y series Sea DWeller / Submariner Date (or LV) / Z series Submariner COSC, Paneria Submersible 24 / 111 (sandwich dial) / 183 / 287, Seiko Marinemaster SBDX001, etc.
