That first pix with the dial showing as black is amazing.

Looks as good as a 16610LV.

Very, very nice.

LOL indeed... her plane lands in a couple of hours. I'm prepared with my version of how this was a wise investment on my part.

You end up with THE watch you want without compromise. That is priceless.

Reminds me of 'racer math' for a weekend track event... the 3 sets of slick tires, normal expendable (brake pads, rotors, fluids, etc) and entry fee don't count towards, you know, actual expenses

Well it's Wednesday and I'm wearing it so obviously I've failed in that pursuit. Guess I still need that "weekend watch".....

Either way, congrats!

Haha loveeee this!! My friends and I fall into this trap with everything!! Just recently...

Need an iPad. Ooo might as well get a MacBook Air. For that price the MacBook Pro is much better. 15 inch is perfect ! 🤣🤣

The Justification Train. That's right up there with, "It won't hurt nothing to try it on."

Congrats on a great acquisition, and an entertaining write-up.
