Nah
Sounds like you really dont want it, maybe spend your money on something else??

tkc324 · 1 January 2012, 09:21 AM

Dont do it if your heart is not in it.

nutter13 · 1 January 2012, 09:26 AM

its not that i dont want it i do very much its just that i want to wear it not put it in a safe and from other forums thats just not the done thing?

Singslinger · 1 January 2012, 09:38 AM

If you want it very much and you'll wear it often and not put it in a safe, then go for it. I think the LV ceramic is a handsome watch, it offers something different from the usual black-dial diving watches. Is it brand new? If yes, then the price is reasonable. Good luck!

I would say no....if you are not even sure you will wear it enough what is the point regardless of what your "heart" says...In this case if you already think prior to buying the watch you will not wear it enough to justify even the reduced cost then you are not really that excited about it in the end unless you are willing to give up some of the watches you already own to give the new one more wrist time.

For myself, I am a one watch guy.....I buy a watch new and wear it and only it until it breaks.....but having said that I only wear dive watches and no other watch....What is the point in owning two dive watches? However, I do much appreciate so many other watches....in fact droll over some models of other brands.....but I am loyal to my one watch and give it all the wrist time it can take....in the last case 18 years with my Omega SeaMaster.....which is now ready for retirement....so my one watch for the next 20+ years will be the DEEPSEA I just bought two days ago. So from Hong Kong...I would say pass until you find one that will excite you enough to give it a lot of well deserved wrist time.

jbox168 · 1 January 2012, 09:52 AM

don't buy if your not sure! go for what you really like

DO IT.

It is involved in all aspects of my life; from professional life, leisure, and personal activities.

MoBe · 1 January 2012, 01:38 PM

Sounds to like you have a problem with the money.

I would not be the one to tell someone to buy a watch they cannot afford.

timeisfathaoftruth · 1 January 2012, 02:11 PM

Only you know if you can afford it..and it sounds like that may be the deciding factor. Trying it on a few times should help you decide if you will enjoy it and if
you'll wear it....Before you buy you should make sure you can afford it and you'll enjoy it...good luck making the right decision.

MortgageGuy · 1 January 2012, 02:30 PM

If you have the money and it is not a burden whatsoever I say buy it, wear it and love it. Forget the safe. Buy that new watch and wear it everyday for the rest of your life

Quoted for truth...

I know quite a few folks that never wear their Rolexes; it is a shame. You only live once and your Rolex should be the "Perpetual Companion." My Rolex symbolizes the experiences of my life and depicts my character and sophistication.

dddrees · 1 January 2012, 09:26 PM

As others have said: Don't do it unless you really want it, you can afford it, you'll enjpy it, and use it.

Sounds like you have doubts, no need to force it.

nutter13 · 1 January 2012, 09:46 PM

thanks guys the pics are great and i hear what you all say its nice to hear from people who wear there rolex and the money will always be a consideration when you have a family, and my mind is made up ............................ 116610 LV here i come ................... pics to follow when the shop opens in the new year.

lyktestolpe · 1 January 2012, 10:15 PM

If you wont wear it, don't buy it. It's not worth the money if it ends up in it's box most of the time.

I think you should buy it, and never stop wearing it (:

Looks beautiful....give it the wrist time it demands.

HL65 · 1 January 2012, 11:03 PM

It is a great watch but like any other watch if you aren't going to wear it and aren't 100% sure--don't do it! I for one am very happy it is in my collection...

Mr. K · 2 January 2012, 04:13 AM

The Sub-C LV is one gorgeous watch! Go for it! Trust me, when your spending 5,000 on a watch, you'll wear it. Or I'd hope you'd wear it!
