There's no one answer as to how one can do this. << Large bank account.

This should be about fun and not stress however,. << Decisions, decisions.

There will always be another one out there somewhere. << Maybe

There are so many nice watches, yet so little time. << True

It's all about expectations.

But the bottom line for me, is that it is all about having fun.

If it becomes to stressfull or no longer fun, I no longer care to do it any longer.

True, but our expectations can sometimes with preconceived notions of fun that turn into stress...

We all control our own destiny.

No one can force me to do something I don't feel comfortable doing.

Besides I can admire the beauty of a watch that cost more than I am willing or able to afford.

If someone gets to the point that something is bothering me I can stand up and say something or walk away.

I would expect others are capable of doing the same.

Normally I can, until I came to the Enablers Forum

I figure I will always see more here than I will ever be able to afford.

It doesn't mean I wish to stop seeing them.

I would rather see them and admire them than not come here at all.

Absolutely.

iLLGT2 · 12 May 2012, 02:10 PM

Lol look at what I caused :p

I hear all of your points, all valid to me...

I need to tone it down however, I think like anything I become fixated with and overly passionate, I overdo it with as many acquisitions I can possibly handle, and then get a little bored/appreciate it less :/

That wouldn't be the first time that has happened here.

That's what I figured, but it does appear as you are on the prowl and are actively hunting.

Okay, I have a colleague that is FedEx'ing a 15300 (used) to me for Tuesday delivery so I can try on. Looking forward to seeing if the 15300 is large enough for what I am expecting.

Excellent Paul.

Try before buy, how lucky can you get?

Look forward to hearing how this goes.

The finish, fit, and detail on this watch is amazing.

Good luck.

It will be interesting as I have been leaning towards larger (40mm+), but it depends on many factors. Having another ROO inbound the 'large' quotient may be solved already, and need more of a 'dress/business' watch to fill the void.

Let's see Tues--will post pics and perspective. If 39mm is acceptable, then it's down to 15300 or 15202 (2012 version) price no object, but practicality and comfort are...hmm.

If 39mm is not a go, then 15400 (don't throw stones please), might be an option before switching brands.

To me it's more important that you like what your getting.

But hey, at least this way you get a chance to try one first, and it should help you make the right choice before you buy.

For me it's easy. Most of my watches that I wear are that 40mm range so adjustments to size are not an issue for me.

Have fun.

Don't have the luxury of trying all models in Austin (or any for that matter)...hey wait a minute, sounds like a good reason to go to Vegas.

Vegas is great.

Window shopping (mostly watches) during the day, and shows in the evening.

Have you taken a cruise to St Thomas, and Curacao?

Another watch haven for sure.

I'm pretty lucky, for the midwest our local AD has a pretty good range, and I'm not too far from Chicago.

It's not New York or Vegas, but not that bad.

I can head to Houston or Dallas for AP or PP.

Vegas tends to be more fun

Hey I get it, I agree.

But it is nice to have some close when you can't quite get to Vegas.

Will he be getting it back is the question

Looking forward to hear your thought of it

I would go with the white dial over the blue one.

Either way yes.

If size is okay, then I will order BNIB one.

If size is too small, then I will have to wait to see 15400 in person (gasp--I know your thoughts on 15400 already.

The way I look at 15400, is while not 15202 (and not meant to be), it will bring more people into the AP family that want something a little larger, but still want to appreciate the beauty that is the 15xxx series
