I find saving to be a good way to testing whether your target watch is a real 'grail' or just an 'impulse want'. If after a few months of savings and you still want that piece than go for it.
Buying immediately does not give you the luxury of really assessing the true value of the target watch. More often then not, its impulse buying.
Happy hunting!
Haha, funny that you should say this as the timing was such that I just made an impulse purchase last night. Went to collect a couple of pens that I have ordered the day before, and saw a newly-minted Glycine Root Bear in the display case. Since I have been wanting a Root Bear type of watch for a while, quickly took up the piece. Wearing it today and pleased as punch!
But the one that I really would like to have (best to see if the interest persists after some time) is the Rolex D-Blue. If the overseas forum was correct that pricing was only USD300 higher than the standard Black version, that should make it a relatively good buy.
