 ok so here's the predicament....i live in seoul. and have been browsing the local department store sites and came across a Grovana 300m diver....did more research on it and found that state side they go for about 350-500 smackers...however, over here i found them for between 300,000-330,000 Korean Won.  Now with the state of the current economies at present, on both sides of the ocean, 300,000 won translates to about 207 US dollars.....seems ridiculous?  check it out:

now my problem is that i am going to get this watch, seems too good to pass up, but the girlfriend just doesn't get the whole watch thing....therefore she would definitely punch me in the face if she were to read this, or know that i bought another one.  In any case i need a good excuse for why i have this watch, after i get it.  the best thing i can think of is,"uuuuh yeah baby my parents got it for me for christmas, they sent it from america....".....that's it, that's the best i can come up with, it's pathetic i know.....I am generally a person who always follows the golden rule, but this time i think the golden rule can kiss my %#@....i feel like some kind of crack addict or something lol.....

so, pass this watch up??? or go ahead and tell one itty bitty white lie, and end up feeling like a schmuck for a couple months??? 

your opinions please....keep in mind will most likely marry this girl and don't want too big of a white lie......

thank you...
