I passed on a watch that I wanted...But really couldn't afford...
And certainly didn't need!!!
It wasn't easy... but I did it...
Emailed the guy and said "No!"...
I need to go lay down...

sailmed · 13 February 2013, 12:01 AM

LOL

You have touched a nerve with this post
It takes so much to walk away when there is a battle raging within..to buy or not to buy...

Comes with the territory

HRV · 13 February 2013, 12:05 AM

Congrats on your achievement

Psmith · 13 February 2013, 12:06 AM

You'll be fine... just think how much you just saved

nick c · 13 February 2013, 12:06 AM

benlee · 13 February 2013, 12:07 AM

Amazing will power! Congrats!!!

Dan Pierce · 13 February 2013, 12:13 AM

Don't look back, time to move forward knowing you did the right thing.

Vincent65 · 13 February 2013, 12:18 AM

well done, mate - you really didn't need it................. what was it, by the way?!

Renoir · 13 February 2013, 12:57 AM

Congrats!

There will be others when the time is right. (That's what I keep telling myself, anyway)

Beaumont Miller II · 13 February 2013, 12:58 AM

Clay a watch collector once told me he never regretted buying a watch. It's the ones he didn't buy that he regretted. I have regretted a few that I passed on last year. That being said, I'm sure you made the right decision. If it was meant to be I'm sure you could have "moved" some things "around" to make it work.

This is how I justify a new purchase. I always make a deal Wih myself to move something that I don't wear, or that I don't particularly like. Problem is......I never follow through with it.

Matt0129 · 13 February 2013, 01:31 AM

congrats, many more to come

psv · 13 February 2013, 01:35 AM

Atta boy!

ex007 · 13 February 2013, 01:53 AM

Good grief, think of the economy. We'll never get out of the hole we're in if people stop buying things they don't need or can't afford!

Congrats.

Stoner319 · 13 February 2013, 01:58 AM

If the times not right the times not right. Lord knows I have kicked myself for a long time for not buying something I REALLY wanted. But you'll get over it.....someday......maybe. haha

JustinK · 13 February 2013, 02:01 AM

On to the next one! What did you have such will power to say no to?

mikkibarry · 13 February 2013, 02:08 AM

Teach me how to do that. It's SO DIFFICULT.... will....shaky....want....."buy it now"..... AIEEEE!

JohnBoy · 13 February 2013, 04:27 AM

Maybe there is some hope for the rest of us...this thing we have is curable. And in the meantime, the supply of Rolexes on the market has stabalized for a minute or two! Congrats, Clay!

Oh, by the way, isn't there some kinda gum thats available to deal with this craving? Maybe a small band playing, or something?

Congrats.

Love it!

I know too many people with that actual mindset. I don't think they are trying to help the economy however.

And to the OP....
I've actually not logged onto the forums for about a week one time as my watch itch was getting realy bad. It helps to just step away from time to time.

goog53 · 13 February 2013, 11:13 AM

Job well done Clay!

Acro-Pilot · 13 February 2013, 11:58 AM

Clay, I bet if you called him back right now he would still sell it to you. I bet you can still get it!

cruvon · 13 February 2013, 12:10 PM

Clay, great show of restraint and one soul less on Watches Anonymus;)
