Pulled the trigger..

Friends,

I finally have my dream watch on my wrist.
The Z series Blue TT Sub.
After several glitches with trying to buy a pre-owned, I finally decided to buy a brand new one from Alan Furman.
A few reasons:

1. The difference in cost between a D/Z series pre-owned and a brand new one was just 10%.
2. The 10% was definitely worth the experience of having to look at and touch the watch before I buy.
3. Get a 2 yr warantee.

I have been frequenting this forum the past few weeks and made some good friends. There is a wealth of information here, that helped me tremendously in my buying process. I guess the passion that folks have here for watches are infectious.

I want to say a BIG Thank you to you all for being there for me.

On a side note, I had this private joke with a close friend.
On my list of things to do in life, I told him that I wanted one very cheap watch and one very expensive watch. Both good.
And, I showed him my Casio then. He laughed and told me that I had 50% completed. I just had to get to the next 50%.
I called him yesterday and showed him the remaining 50%.

I am a happy man.

I will post pics as soon as I get a chance.

Seems like this TT BLue sub is getting to be very popular with forum members! I personnally like the Black/Gold TT sub better, but the Blue seems to outsell it by 3 to 1. Very nice looking watch! Congrads!
