Dude, you are the ultimate WIS hero...to get rid of girl friends so you can keep saving for watches...that is AWESOME! :D It is hard for old married guys like me to remember those days... ;) Good luck getting it sooner rather than later... hand6.gif

And please don't think I am blessed with a huge dollar watch budget - that is sure not the truth. It will be a hell of a stretch for me to get the funds - but that's what motivates me to get rid of girlfriends and keep saving!! (no doghouse to worry about!!). I may not even get the funds before there is a sell-out or similar. But I will give it my best shot. I am committed to the Ocean 7 and I might have to leave it at that.

I have many under $500 watches that I love to death and only a few above that mark. I don't trade that much - I buy cos I like 'em. I don't buy cos of their prices - I buy cos I want them. And I don't buy a lot.

But I am so firmly hooked that it will never go away...

Same thinking as O - if the original is there and it doesn't kill me to pay the price (or a heavily discounted price on the same item from a friendly AD - though I don't reckon there will be much negotiating on this new one), I would have the Omega over the imitator any day. But there are so many choices at that big dollar value - including THREE of my grail Chopard Mille Miglia white faced black sub-dial GMTs. Now there's a thought...

Cheers - IanM

Hey watchstuff - I never thought of it that way, but somehow, I feel strangely proud...face4.gif. Nothing to it really - I keep picking the right watches but the wrong girls....

Been there! Enjoy it while you can...as soon as you meet the right girl...the watch budget has to stretch in ways it was never intended to do! hearteyes.gif (couldn't resist that bizarre icon!)

Oh shoot I just gave up on the females all together. No one to give me grief on watches or anything else I do. My life is mine what is left of it, collecting watches has filled the void for purpose. And a few other things. I'm content. ;) :cool:

Ah Skip - ya make me laugh.

And watchstuff - you are right - but there should always be a watch budget...

My divorce cost me about 150 new Omega Ploprofs. I should have learned, shouldn't I?

Funny how we think in those terms...that nice new floor my wife wants for the living room is going to cost me my future Rolex... :shock:

1st, we usually have no problem linking to appropriate links from most forums. There are a few we won't link to, but, then again....I've never seen anything of worth in their posts other than, "Wow, I have 1000 posts".:D

2nd, take me to the shrink, but for some reason, I have never been able to get my head around Omega. I know they are supposed to be great watches, yadda, yadda, yadda, but, for the most part, they have simply not appealed to me, except for a few vintage pieces. When I do see one that grabs my attention, after looking at it several times, it just sort of goes blah to me.

Maybe one of the nuns who were so thrilled with my behavior as a child beat me with one....I don't know!

This watch has little appeal to me, but then I don't dive. I can think of a lot of watches I would rather have for $7K.
