Life Changing Moment

So this may not be as life changing as some would say but I just walked into an AD in San Juan, Puerto Rico and tried on a brand new 116610lv Hulk they just got in last week she said. I've always been interested in the LV but now I have to have it.

This thing is absolutely incredible. It's pretty much ruined my vacation becuase that will be the only thing on my mind for the rest of the week. Anyone able to loan me $7k? I can spot the first $1400

Is $8400 for a brand new lv a good price. It looks like it is according to the trusted sellers on here.

Enjoy life everyday.
Watches and other stuff shouldn't be life changing.
It's just stuff. Ain't none of us getting out of here alive.

Watch the 11.5% sales tax in Puerto Rico. It may eat up the lower price. I just got back from San Juan earlier this week and that extra tax added up big time.

It's great

Don't buy if you can't afford it though. There are more important things than a watch

Life changing? Why not? Perhaps not life altering. fellow posters sometimes appear to take this all a bit seriously, with all due respect. I think you found the central preoccupation of your life which does cause a little shift in perspective. When I started jonesing for a watch, I began to rethink every small purchase as potential monies that could be allocated to a watch. In NYC, that watch costs about 70 mid-priced dinners for two or twenty articles of clothing I could easily rack up in the coming months etc. I enjoyed the game and I hope you make it happen sooner than later. Let the enabling and rationalizing begin. Great looking piece.

I felt the same when I purchased my LV. Still feel the same way about it years later.

Totally understand and of you ask me- you won't be happy until you have it, it spoke to you and I say get it, then you have a story and place to go with the overall experience to always remember - go now and the. Enjoy the rest of your time :)
