So the bug has bit me. I have looked and seen the Tudor BB red. Was convinced that was going to be my next buy. Loved it, but just could not pull the trigger. Don't know why but just could not.

Reading a lot on trusting your intuition. Ever time I went to make a move it just did not feel right.

Sooooo.... ended up deciding on a ND Sub C. The BB is nice, but the Sub just feels so right.

Now getting the funds shifted around to be able to make payment by the end of the week.

But here is the goofy part. (As some my see it.) I'll pay for it but will delay shipping for a few months.

I have three more Insurance tests to take be get some certifications. Been waking up early to go to Starbucks at 4:30 AM for a very long time. After my commute I typically get there around 6 so have a couple hours to study before work starts.

I promised myself after I pass all my tests, get my certifications framed, I'll reward myself. While I want the watch on my wrist ASAP, I am going to deny myself so when I do get it I will remember every time I look at it, that it is a reward for an achievement. Many hours of waking up early when I'd rather just sleep in. (This includes weekends)

So, this is my "I'm excited for my Incoming" thread posted far in advance.
The things I appreciate the most in life are the things that I've worked hard to achieve, this watch is to mark that special occasion.

Anyone else do something like this before.

Promise I'll pics in a few months.

What happens if you change your mind in the next few months? Can you change your order or get a refund?

Good question and good thinking. I'm sure I could.

But the ND sub is just so classic. I'm going to add it to these.

I would make sure of it if I were you. Great collection there, but a few months is a very long time in Rolexland.

Great pic, but you've got steel and gold and steel so you know what comes next...

ND Sub will have nice company, good looking Sub triplets!

IT Nerd · 19 May 2015, 01:10 PM

I can't say that I have subjected myself to such masochism, but I will say that you have three very nice subs to get you by until you get your certs!

Good luck

Adam I know you will keep me honest. A couple hours is a long time in Rolex Land.

First thought they would all be too similar...... but decided no way. All are quite different.

travisb · 21 May 2015, 12:46 AM

Congrats and good luck!

Mr. K · 31 May 2015, 05:56 AM

So an update. Needed 3 more tests to pass. Took and passed two last week. Need to wait until the next testing window July 15 before I can take the last one.

But as soon as the final one is passed, I'll soon have another sub to add to the collection.

With this incentive, I'll appreciate this new watch when I finally get it. Milestones!
