What goes around comes around...

I once made jokes about a colleague who fell in love with GoPro camera, got it, and ended up doing extreme activities just to find use for her camera.

Now, I am seriously considering to get diving certificate.... in order to justify a Submariner!

I hope you don't get a GMT, the pilots license would be a little more intensive!

You could just get an Explorer II and go sit in a cave for a few days, keeping track of time.

Rolex requires you to present your PADI certification before you can purchase a sub. And, you need more than just an open water certification to purchase the deep sea.
