I don't know if I hate this waiting period or love it, but my newest incoming is on its way to me! After much back and forth I went with a 16610LV from DavidSW. My original plan was a new ceramic Sub, but I managed to talk myself out of it for a couple of reasons.

About this time last year I traded up my 14060M for a SubLV from DavidSW then about 6 months later work got really, really slow. My GF and I were very serious by this point and began talking about marriage. With work the way it was I decided to sell my beloved Sub so if worst came to worst I would still be able to buy her a half decent engagement ring. Well, about 2 or so months later work picked back up with avengence! So here I am with a nice engagement ring at home waiting for just the right moment and a Sub LV on a truck on its way to me. It has been a great year for me and it is only going to get better. I'll be sure to post some crappy iPhone pics when it arrives!!!

Congrats on the watch, and the engagment. Its good the watch is going FEDEX instaed of UPS. The UPS storage office has had shipment go missing many times something isnt kosher there.

dddrees · 23 July 2011, 12:00 AM

The wait is all a part of the experience.

No worries though, sounds as it will be there soon.

You have a lifetime of enjoyment ahead of you.

Congrats.
