Spot on!
Will help some...but $till would $ting.
Very true...already thinking about the Panerai I want to buy in a few years.
She is. Supportive, funny, fair, and foxy.
Actually Jared Jewelers if you ever heard of that pit. I refuse to ever return.
Boom!
So...after finishing my errands today I called the lady at the local Rolex boutique who spent nearly 30 minutes with me earlier this week just talking about the watch. She was full of energy and remembered me, I asked if they still had the black sub no-date, she said she does, and even has one that is unboxed and not even displayed.
I told her I'd be by between 1-2pm.
I arrived and they had the watch waiting for me. Respected the timepiece to a T.
I tried it on, she went over all the functions, warranty card, etc...
I asked for her to write a valuation since I plan to insure (at least out the gate).
As lame as this sounds, with the watch in my hands again, I had a serious YOLO moment.
I've never really been in a situation like I'm in right now, where I could make something like this happen. Why resist it, why tempt fate. We could all wake up tomorrow with a terminal illness, or get struck by a car jogging down the street trying to get in our measly 45 minutes of cardio after sitting in a room/desk/whatever all day. Yea that's hyperbole but like Miles told Joel in Risky Business;
"Sometimes you just gotta say **** it."
Gave her my card and boom.
She had her watch guy size it for me and 3 links later, it's on the wrist.
I must say, I was looking for validation in all the wrong places. Friends who are well off watch enthusiasts, a fiancee who clearly supports me regardless what material ambitions I may have, my parents who both own Rolex's, a 2+2 sub-thread on watch appreciation.
Nonetheless I couldn't be more happier with this purchase.
Feast your eyes!
Spot on!

Your heart is set on the sub, anything else won't be the same. It's an absolutely timeless watch which will look awesome for the rest of your life.
Be warned though, it is just the start. You'll see a lovely faded bezel GMT Master 16700 and want that, you'll want a white face explorer, you'll try on a SD and think the non bubble date is great and it's like the subs big brother and want that. Then obviously have a Daytona will be the real grail....

first part of a two for two trade came in today. Bracelet is really comfortable and Omega's version of the glidelock is extremely convenient.
