S....W.....C continued

In 2007 I bought my wife a DateJust and myself a new gen TT GMT MASTER II and Today I bought a M LV Sub.
None of these have I regretted............

By it if you can afford it, don't if you can't. Don't buy something lesser, Tag, Brietling, etc.

If you can't go new, then find a good pre-owned Rolex piece. They really are like money in the bank.

Just my .02

I can relate to the way you're feeling. My first Rolex was my gold/steel datejust.

The day I bought the watch I was still unsure - I was constantly trying to rationalise spending a lot of money on an item I didn't actually need. Even after I walked out of the ADs I was unsure and uneasy for a while.

Since then I have bought another Rolex and am now looking at a Patek... be warned!

The base rate in the USA is 1% and you have credit cards with APR's of 24%???

Crikey, I thought things were bad in the UK (we're used to being ripped off as it's normal here) but maybe we're doing ok?

You'll pay anywhere from 10% to 30% in credit card interest in the states, worse if you miss payments or your balance trends upwards. The crooks will never get a dime of interest from me.

I got Bluesy a few weeks ago and now today I got a Nikon 300/2.8 lens. Then an hour later I find an A. Lange Sohne that I loved, and the rare Breitling Blacksteel, and then the Canon G10 came in stock, with $30 off, and in Canadian pricing beating US pricing!

Life is cheap, but the accessories will kill you.
