..... and then..... the Rationalization To Justification Train entered the station.

It started something like this: "hmmmmm, I really NEED a weekend watch. You know, something simple and not too expensive. Maybe a used Omega. Well, if I'm going to do that it's only a little more to get an Explorer I. But you know, if I'm going to do that, a no-date sub is only a bit more. Well, I might as well get the date sub then since I'm going that direction. Hmmm, so if I'm going with a sub with a date I might as well........"

And then there was a button that said "Add to Cart" and a button that said "Submit Order" and.... well, it was all kind of a blur.

All of that manifested in the FedEx truck arriving this AM and handing me this!!

Hi there. Got it from our friend David SW. Price was very reasonable (relative to the current market anyway) and comparable to what you see from trusted sellers. I went with one that was listed as "excellent" rather than "new unworn" just to save a few dollars, but it's literally like new.
