Looking back and remembering the angst of spending that kind of coin I realize that I was ready for that purchase at that point in my life, this I attribute to many things but mostly the fact that I have absolutely no buyers remorse about the purchase, none, zippo, zilch, nada. I was a great and memorable day.

same...i poured a nice glass of aged rum on ice, opened that beauty, and any worry about money or lug size, boxy shape just wasn't there.

It looked better than expected, felt better than expected and I was long over the money so that wasn't even a factor yesterday.

That's great. Now enjoy the vastly improved bracelet, clasp, and loom!

Kinda like bringing home a newborn baby!!

seabreeze · 21 March 2013, 08:04 AM

Oh man… I was quite a bit more in shock when we brought home out first.
Newborn

No one ever explained that they send you home without instructions !

I remember my wife and I looked at each other like now what? but we figured it out

Can't wait to go home now and fondle…..
My new watch

VICI · 21 March 2013, 08:28 AM

Hey 2 more responses and I'll hit 100 comments ....not too shabby

You can tell your wifey that your new watches are the mid life crisis equal to a red Ferrari but cost 100k less. My GF just shakes her head and rolls her eyes...
It's good to be a WIS with great company to boot!!

Belonging to this forum and having so many people along for the ride made the whole purchase experience so much more enjoyable when you can share it...really

Excellent choice this is the model i chose for my first Rolex which i got last weekend... I'm 31 :-)

Epilogue:
Wore the watch out for the first time tonight.

My fundraiser turned out to be a really nice surprise party that my lovely wife threw.

Funny....only my son spotted it. And I didn't think he cared about such things. But he eyed it early on.

This was a fun thread and a fun adventure

Thanks guys
