Decision made. Subc it is! Incoming soon......

After all of my bipolar, flip flop behavior lately, I have decided that my new addition will be the 116610LN. The DSSD is cool and is a "beast", but the sub feels like "home". It fits every occasion and is just such a beautiful classic. I stare at it and get lost in it, and still don't know what time it is .

This will not be "traded up" for a Deepsea, because it will be passed to my oldest son when he reaches the appropriate age. I will be extremely pleased with the subc and cannot wait to have it on my wrist.

I will post pics in a few weeks when I get it.

Thanks for all of the suggestions and for reading my wishy washy banter for two weeks!

Bipolar, flip flop behaviour ? On TRF ? Can't be, can it ?

Congratz, sounds like you made the best choice for yourself, and that's all that matters.

Waiting for the pics.

Good choice. Mind you, whichever would have been good. I've been following the thread and as a family man as well, I can appreciate the internal conflict. Looking forward to the pics.

HAHAHA I'm in the EXACT SAME SITUATION. DavidSW is going to hunt me down and shoot me pretty soon. Glad you made a decision, congratulations. I wish I could do the same... I've been through 6 models already, including a 2 PAM's and I just can't get it right
