Man, I want the sub date in a bad way. So today my wife and I are shopping and we stop into the local AD. She is all about a Datejust and the Platnium YM. I put the sub on my wrist and she loves it. She is telling me to get it now. GET IT NOW!! But I just couldn't do it. I don't think I need to go into debt for a watch no matter how great it is, so it stayed at the AD. I am trying to sell a few guns to fund my new hobby so hopefully it won't be long.

JUST SOME RAMBLING

Sounds like a good idea. You will be much better off in the long run.

JimSnyder · 7 December 2008, 01:51 PM

It's too late, your infected. You will find a way. You won't be able to get it out of your mind until you do. Then the first thing you have to do after it's on your wrist is "Post a Picture of it"

Hopefully by tomorrow at the latest

Your right this forum is the DEVIL. And I can't get it out of my mind and haven't been able to for about 6 months.

You only go around once and she said "OK"

Boopie · 7 December 2008, 02:17 PM

As much as I love my Rolex I would neither go into debt nor sell any guns to get a watch.

Guns will increase in value with a Democratic house/senate and in the whitehouse. BO will likley make a slingshot illegal

I know where you are coming from about the guns, but with my schedule and 2 young girls I don't have much time to get out and shoot and I would be able to use and enjoy this watch every day instead of having the guns just sit in the safe.

JimSnyder · 7 December 2008, 02:24 PM

Well.......

Rationalizing...stage two of the disease. You'll own it soon.

Once you are addicted to Rolex, you will find ways to get it.

chenx15 · 7 December 2008, 02:55 PM

a rolex is not worth the sleepless nights.

East Bay Rider · 7 December 2008, 03:42 PM

For many of us, sacrifices have to be made for the things we want more. If you want the watch then something has to go. Good luck.

CPCC · 7 December 2008, 03:45 PM

Wise thinking. Too many on the other side trying to unload their watches because of debt.

rajurama · 7 December 2008, 05:03 PM

good luck with your new hobby! Waiting for wrist shots soon :)

walds11 · 7 December 2008, 05:14 PM

Very wise decision. Move something out to fund the Sub Date.

Black Knight · 7 December 2008, 05:25 PM

I am going through exactly the same thing.
Last weekend put the watch on my wrist, but left the store.
All this past week, I came here to learn about these fine watches.
Went back to AD today, armed with knowledge, he flatly denied moving even a dollar on the price, I walked away, and will keep up the search.
Plus have been considering selling a few items (guns included) to fund the new obsession.
All in due time, I tell myself. And I will know when the moment is 'right'.

akhamdani · 7 December 2008, 07:40 PM

You did the right thing,I think

.Hope you will get your Rolex soon

Alcan · 7 December 2008, 10:13 PM

Brandon, I think you have the right perspective in thinning out one hobby to fund another.

Not knowing much about gun prices, how many would have to go to buy the Rolex?

marshallr47 · 8 December 2008, 01:16 AM

You will get one when you are ready. Patients is difficult but necessary at times. Good call. I've been wanting to buy another one for a while but haven't pulled the trigger because I've got enough for now...but there's nothing wrong with dreaming. Good luck.

Mr. K · 8 December 2008, 02:05 AM

Good choice to wait. I agree with not going into dept to buy a watch.

If you wait, you will appreciate it that much more when you get it. I had to wait soooooooo long to save up for a DD and it was well worth the wait.

A good watch will be with you forever, and probably with whoever you pass it down to, so waiting another few weeks or month is worth it. (howeverif you are like me, it is difficult to wait.)

Don't worry, pal. I predict that in 4 years you will not be gun less, Godless, or gay unless you want to be.

NOT going into debt for a Rolex and waiting until you have the funds will make the purchase much more enjoyable.

Good for you, very smart.

356 speedster · 8 December 2008, 02:20 AM

There are so many great deals in this forum it is unreal. You did the right thing to wait a bit but you should give the "for sale" section a chance for a better deal. Good luck.

Couldn't have said it better..........

SPORTSFAN · 8 December 2008, 04:01 AM

Hi,

There is another thread........LV Sub 20% discount AND 0% finance.

This is a no-brainer for me.

2 years at 0% equals AT LEAST 2 price rises,so saving up makes no sense to me.

Just MHO

Regards Mike.

MrCowboy99 · 8 December 2008, 06:52 AM

if your gun collection looks like this, you shouldn't have to worry about the discount on any Rolex. (BTW, this is Charlton Heston's basement.)
