You will love the feeling of wearing it and the accomplishment of achieving the goal.

Nice New Years resolution! Hope to see a post in less than 2 years :)

Agree - I think YG looks much better on DD or DJ, as opposed to tool Rolexes.

Yo Dude! I'll keep that in mind. Hopefully, one day me, you, and Sam will have a Chicago GTG and each of us will be wearing our 116718s

You need a new camera Sam...I don't care what is on your wrist but prefer to see the scenery in the background!

I never understood the appeal of gold watches & especially diamonds on a watch. But recently I wore a relative's gold DDII with diamond dot dial & have to say, wearing one feels fantastic. I'm definitely converted. I reckon the two years will fly by and the saving up will be worth it.

Don't forget there are great discounts on the gold pieces as opposed to steel so it might be under your two year time frame you can get one.

It's funny you say that, because that picture was taken on the last day of the vacation. One of my goals during the trip was not to get sunburned so I was lathering up with spf 45 the whole time.

It's so true that you have to try it in person to understand the gold and the diamonds. I thought I'd never want diamonds on a watch and even when I got my Rolex I considered changing the dial to Romans but now I wouldn't do that in a million years!
