Thank you. Yes, it's magic, especially if you try one on!

IT WAS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Master Enabler!!!! It was your gf's picture that put the bug in my head. She is just as guilty, tell her!!!!

It looks magnificent on her! That photo did it for me!!

Too funny! I always wondered if there was a higher purpose to my random musings here. The title of Master Enabler of TRF has to be my crowning achievement (forgive the pun)!

The gf gives me the side-eye when she catches me snapping candid pics of her. Then I tell her the pics are going to a male-dominated watch forum, at which point I get the full-on glare! Lol. I'm dying to see how she reacts when she finds out that her likeness has inspired the watch tastes of an actual TRF female. Will inform her later and post results!

[hdrazor251]

Looks fantastic on you. If I was your husband I'd divorce you if you didn't get it.

A evening watchtalking with Paul will cure you.

[yxc145]

The watch looks great on you. Hey, Charlize Theron is wearing the 44mm Deepsea D-Blue!
My wife loves the Sub-LV. She is worrying about the same thing.
I told her it will look great. Hopefully purchase it in a couple of years for the 5 year Anniversary for her. That way, I can adjust the watch it and borrow it sometime.

I must stop by Howard Frum sometime soon.

[LuminousMaximus]

Well I think your on the right track!

I got my wife a Solid Gold 37mm Yachtmaster. Quite good looking, right...

Wrong. She wanted the 40mm Gold Yachtmaster... and like a good servant, oops I mean husband I got her the 40mm. And she has worn it and loved it evER since.

So, no it's not to big and in fact looks great on you and will look great on him

Show us wrist pics

Ciao

[sechsgang]

HUGE fan of a 40mm diver on a woman's wrist. It's got a lot of punch and I really like the image as well. Honestly cooler when I see a woman wearing one vs a man.

It's loooking goooood on you.

Haha, I hear you my friend. The Nikon is not really the problem though, the Nikkor is where they get you...

Thank you!! Yep, the Nikkor is pricey, but sexy!

Now you have to prepare both your husband and for FX.

I'll give it a try! :)

The decision will be tough!! I'll post another thread and then you'll all ban me from here for asking questions that have been asked before.

Tell him the better solution is to have a good cry, then just buy one for himself, it'll save him a ton in long run. Easy peasy.

And your sub totally does not make your butt look huge. You'd need a DSSD if that's what you're shooting for.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I think after i have one, he'll give in.

I did think about the new Sub with the adjustable clasp. That way we could both wear it :D
But he said he didn't want one. We'll see. Maybe i get the SD and he eventually gives in and gets the Sub.

I think it's looking that way. I will try to cool off and forget all about it. THAT'S My PLAN!!!

That just means you need to buy a second Sub, if you have two daughters!!! No, i'm not an enabler, noooo

That sure is some nice glass you got there. While I really am neither a full frame nor a "gotta have the biggest" snob, you certainly are right with respect to weight balance. Both the 105 (love that lens) and the 24-70 are somewhat heavy for a small camera body like that. On the other hand, if you really do use the 105 as a macro, the crop would actually work in your favor and you'd want to use the combo on a tripod anyway, so balancing the setup wouldn't really be an issue either. Just to say, no matter how you end up resolving this, getting the watch first definitely was the right choice ;)

You're on spot with the tripod. Noticed that after the first photo. The lens is amazing. I intended on keeping the 5300, so maybe i'll just leave that one on tripod for the macros. :) I also didn't realize how difficult it is to take good macro photos. Yes, even bought a remote shutter. Amazing that despite the tripod, pressing on the shutter will move the camera just enough. Amazing.

I've never even tried an FX, but a few of my photography friends (Also enablers) tell me that i will love it and it's justified and that i deserve it. LOL, see the pattern there?

Hahaha, thank you!!

Yes, my husband gifted me last year with a Laguna Seca two day trip. He kept asking "if there is one track you would want to ride..." but it never crossed my mind that he had a plan.
I had an absolute blast. Posted some pics in Mr. Ruud's F1 commute thread.
Loved it.
Unfortunately, we had to retire this year. My husband got hurt pretty seriously. He lowsided and while sliding, got hit in the neck and head. He will make a full recovery, but it's a long process.

Be safe and ALWAYS wear the best gear you can afford!!

I mean, i gave up on having a Rolex or two or three, so i can enjoy this sport and not try to cheap out on tires or gear.

Don't say that. You never saw me try on "hanging" earrings. or big jewelry. doesn't suit me at all. Simple stuff. Diamonds and pearls. I'm simple LOL

I kid, I kid. That is probably pushing the boundaries of good taste, but I couldn't resist.

Anyway, looks great on you. I say pull the trigger!

Ok, if it's not THAT big, then it's okay i guess

[Ruud Van Driver]

I'm not normally a fan of big watches on women. I see it here all the time; tiny girls barely 5' tall with spaghetti for arms and wearing huge Rolex, Panerai, AP, etc. divers. I'm not judging but it's not a good look to see someone wearing a watch bigger than their head. But hey, as long as they're happy then that's all that matters.

As for you young lady, that Sub does look pretty damn good on you

Sure, and more power to you for it. But like I said, what you'll really enjoy is the feel of the camera in your hand rather than the sensor that's in it. Don't forget that pretty good livings were made with 1.3 crop cameras not to long ago. As a matter of fact, the camera I use most in the field still is an old Mk IV, even though we'd have plenty enough full frame gear available. In the end, it just doesn't really matter what the crop is, at least not as much as what's on your wrist ;)

[imperio]

Buy either, or buy both! It doesn't really matter because you can always sell it down the road if you don't like either/both.
