Just picked up my big 21st bday (March3) and college grad present I've been saving up for...finally! Work hard play hard. Loving life.

And here is DSSD with his little brother SD. Didnt get a picture of his uncle PAM112 tho ha.

Not the best pictures. But if you want good DSSD pics, theres a thread just a page or two back :) Puffy's pictures pretty much sold me the DSSD over a SubC, no lie.

Congrats!!

gwalker · 2 March 2012, 07:52 AM

Enjoy. I got my DSSD as a graduation present as well. I did cave in for the Sub C 3 years later now it gets more wrist time. Still love the DSSd too. Congrats.

I love when people think I was given my SD, PAM, or DSSD as a spoiled guy. Just makes me appreciate how hard I worked for them and purchased myself even more...as i said earlier....why not get it it now before I have a wife to drain my accounts or a mortgage payment :)

Very smart man.

I did the same thing in college and actually got the same watches. SD, PAM112 and then the DSSD. I've purchased a few more since then but getting engaged, paying for a wedding, buying a house, etc cuts into the watch funds in a big way. Worst part is when you buy a new watch and your dating a girl she thinks it's impressive...once she's your wife she thinks it's a horrible addiction and there is no need for anymore watches. Enjoy it

No kidding Patrick, at 21 I couldn't afford a quarter pounder with cheese! No cheese, maybe, but I'd have to really hunker down.

Congratulations to the bday boy.

I'd give up all my possessions to be 21 again, so, enjoy your youth, way more important than any watch. But you have both, so you're really living the dream there. :) It's easy to miss your life looking ahead to where you think you should be, ironically if you ever get there, you'd trade it all to go back. :)

Got my first Rolex at 42. Hey, exactly double your age. :)

Puffy · 2 March 2012, 08:18 AM
