Post about your current journey towards your next piece

[Gray_Panther]

There are multitudes of topics about how to obtain our next timepiece, how to afford <insert watch here> or how the current market may be driving some people coocoo for cocoa puffs.

It would be cool to hear from people about their current and continuing journey for their next watch! What struggles and obstacles we are facing, what we are doing to bide our time or other passions to attend to until that magic moment happens.

For me, I have been into watches since I was a little kid and many pictures of me are of wearing watches. But I am also into cars, and right after college (2012) I put my fun money into my BMW 128i rather than spending that kind of cash on my most wanted piece, the PP 5726 on leather.

At that point in my life, I was as free as a bird with no debt period as I busted my ass for a year to pay off my college loans. And back then I figured I would have more tangible fun with my 128i than a PP, but now that I am newly married and still have the 128i, it seems that the PP will have to wait until my mortgage is paid off (hopefully in 6 years or less).

So now here I am, swearing off all car purchases for myself until my cars can no longer be reasonably fixed or maintained. I am tempted by a select few watches, including the PP, that I can save up for with time. But instead I am resisting and fighting my temptations to viciously attack my mortgage.
