I would try, but I'd come off as disingenuous. DO IT!

Seriously, as others have mentioned, this is the wrong place for that advice. But I'll try.

It's too noticeable and flashy.

You could buy a very nice car for the same amount of money.

You could buy your wife/friend/partner a very nice watch and have money left over.

It doesn't do anything that a stainless steel watch can do (i.e. tell you what time it is).

Seriously, when presented with something like this, I force myself to walk away and think about it. Go back tomorrow and see if you still feel the same way. It's a whole bunch of money for what is basically a frivolous purchase of jewelry, and if you tire of it, you will get hammered on resale value.

You better do it.

It’ll make you irresistible to the chicks.

It’ll make you undefeatable in business.

It’ll make you an Uber Alpha Male.

DO IT, BRO!

Then go buy a new convertible Bentley to properly live the life of the titan you are with that watch.

Destiny awaits, friend. You are ready.

If you wear it in a hot tub that has VERY high levels it may turn an interesting color, don't do it!!

It looks great on you! If you want it get it!

If it sings to you, do it! Also looks great on your wrist.

Play the AD game with them...

Tell them you will buy it but they have to GIVE you an SS piece as part of the package...

YG will turn brownish in a hot tub - that’s a good reason not to buy.

If you can afford it and it will not effect your lifestyle in any way, buy it. It's a beautiful watch.

It’s too yellow. I have that in steel and as it is, quite heavy for daily use. I miss it after a while then wear it a day then it’s back in the watch roll. Technologically superb though I must say.

He knew exactly what he was doing by coming here

If you're looking for a legitimate reason on why to pass...Consider the RG + slate dial model as an alternative. If I were to go full PM SkyD, I would go with that one.
