Maybe so, but I will be driving an amazing car with an epic watch!

Thanks! For some reason, I felt like 50 was more of a milestone than others. Also, I think having another ridiculously poor experience engaging with an AD sent me over the edge to pull the trigger at a grey.

Side note, bought the watch from a grey in Dfw called Grand Caliber. Great folks!

I was riddled with the same dilemma about paying the market premium for the steel BLRO. Ended up working out a trade and a bit of cash for one, well worth it.

Life’s too short to deny yourself. Congrats and wear it in good health!

Since OP lives in Europe, the 75km on his dashboard translates to 46mph in US.
Wear in good health.

Edit: I am mistaken about location, I see OP lives in Texas. The roadway you are on probably does not have a 75mph speed limit, as someone above says good luck making it to 51

Here in Texas, we live BIG! Thanks for the well wishes! Side note, we have many areas of Texas with speed limits of 75….and even 80!

Congratulations. Great car and watch.

Saying that, there is absolutely no reason to be taking pictures of both while operating your car, that is silly, dangerous and perhaps against the law (depending where you are).

Wait until you get home for that all important wrist shot.

Thanks for the well wishes. Wow lots of Kens on this forum…

Somehow, I made it to 50 making lots of horrible mistakes like this in my life. lol.

For those of you concerned, did you ever wonder whether my smoking hot passenger of 27 years took the picture!?

Trouble is, when you look down at your phone to open it up and zoom on the target and shoot, you don't see the car infront has jumped on their brakes and BANG.

I lost a best mate to an idiot driver who rear ended him while messaging someone on his mobile. Don't make the same mistake.
