You are correct Graham...

I have not sought other's opinion, but then again, i don't intend to nor have i ever.

As you should know, in this passion of ours, at the end of the day the person to really please is you and yourself, and that while you can try to seek the opinion of others, it is really not necessary and oftentimes not even helpful, as someone have told me a long time ago, get what YOU really love. Not what others think.

If i had "listened" to others , i would not have become who i am today, with my watch collection, that while may appear humble to others, is highly prestigious to me and myself.

I don't intend to listen to others, nor would i care what are the opinions of others. I respect you and everyone else your likes and dislikes ( e.g. i would not even consider an automatic watch a watch, but did i ever put someone down cause he owns only or even 1 automatic watch? You should know by now that i ONLY own manual watches, which to me are the only and real watches...), but i ask the same of you too.

People may laugh at me, but trust me on this, i have received that treatment all too many times in this short life of mine, so more of that would not hurt at all. Not that i care in the 1st place....

And about my AD and my friends, true in what you say, but then again i don't care if i was giving my AD more money, as long as they give me what i want and desire, and my friends, well if they were my real friends they would not laugh at me in their hearts, and if they really did, well pity them, but not pity me, cause i don't think they can even afford this watch.

I will show the forum the watch once i get it, and nothing is stopping me to get it.

And to say at the last, your definition of being able to "pull it off" is probably vastly different from my personal one. For me, being able to pull it off, means that i can wear this watch, without any physical harm, and that it looks and feels good on me. Looks good on me does mean that even if it is huge and pulls all the attention to my wrist, does not matter. Does not have to look "normal", because where i live (in Tokyo, Japan), people's fashion are so "weird" that me with a 60mm watch, is probably "very" normal.... If you have never been to Tokyo, then you would never know.

Have a great day!
