Pulled the Trigger! with the wife's encouragement.
Well after a few months of research. I got the green light from the wife.
Today my wife took the day off, and we went to the local family owned AD to look. I was torn between a Milgauss Vs. BLNR. My kids love the nicknames for the watches... batman, hulk, and the call the Milgauss "captain america". Well I finally decided to pull the trigger on the BLNR. Defiantly a big purchase, but it was the one that spoke to me. Also didn't have to have it sized, it fit like a dream out of the case. Lots of bad stories about ADs, but the experience was great. They gave my 3 year old, about a dozen dum dums, and a bottle of water while we waited. The staff was courteous , professional and not pushy. We have 4 ADs in my town, and the other 3 were very pushy to close the deal. I prob could've saved some cash going through a grey market or the TRF sellers, but the experience was a blast. This watch is celebration of many milestones... and will be cherished. My 3 & 4 year old are ecstatic Dad bought the batman.
