Important Life Lesson - Not To Be Greedy!
For the last few years, I had a 14060 non-date Sub. I LOVED this watch. It was my baby.
When I saw the Sub-C for the first time, I had to have it. So I bought one. After getting it, I wasn't very satisfied, as I wished it was a little bigger. (there was no gratification from spending double the amount on this vs what I paid for my non-date). Every time I looked at my wrist, I wanted it to be a tad bigger or feel 2X more expensive than my previous watch, since it was. After 2 weeks of self-caused distress, I bought a Deepsea. After 2 days I realized it's too intense. Too tall, I don't think it's as sharp looking as the Sub-C. The rounded crystal makes it hard to read at angles, I don't like how deep the dial is set, the dial is the same size as the Sub-C despite massive surroundings and I don't love the inner ring. It's an important life lesson, not to be greedy. lol. I loved my 14060 non-date Sub. Now, when I wear the Sub-C, I wish it was bigger. When I wear the Deepsea, I wish it wasn't so intense. I feel like I can't win. I should have just stayed with what I had and continued to love my watch. I guess the more you pay, the more you expect out of something. My non-date was 3.5k and the Sub-C was 7k. But after getting used to the new bracelet, there's no going back! If I could only customize my own Rolex. Can anyone else relate to this frustration or am I being too analytical? These things aren't cheap and I can't justify having one of each. So it's important I have the one I love the very most! Does Rolex make anything a little bigger than the Sub-C but not as big as the Deepsea? I am young and want something more robust looking than classic. Going crazy over a watch! |
