How To Get Over the Psychological Barrier for DD Purchase

[DCGuy1965]

Serious question. As I've mentioned in other threads I've been kicking the tires of getting a DD for a while now. I've worked very hard my whole career, planned well financially thanks to my father's upbringing, gotten through some challenging times, and have wanted to give myself a gift for accomplishing certain goals in life. When I was a teen I never thought I'd be thinking about a purchase like this. In my 20s all; I wanted was to purchase something like this but no way no how was that happening.

I've been on TRF for a long time. I've learned a lot of great things and have gotten a couple of watches from some very fine sellers and for that I'm thankful. Now I want the grail. I've wanted to get a DD for a long time. And now I can. This is not a matter of stretching myself financially or anything to that effect. This is just getting the gumption to go in to the AD and bust out the checkbook. The actual thought of spending 30K+ for a watch just baffles me. I know there are a ton of you who own a DD. Did you all have to grapple with the thought of laying out that kind of cash for it? If so how did you overcome your hesitation? Thanks in advance but I'd really like to know.
