This forum is a bad, bad place

[SG56]

Just a bunch of enables, arm-twisters, and crazy folks.

So, I got the watch that i fell in love with. No doubts about it. I am in love and I smile each time i look at my wrist.

I mentioned in my intro post that my dad always wanted a Sea Dweller or a Sub.

I mean, WHO DOESN'T, right?

I've always wanted one too, but it was out of the question for two reasons:
1. Never wanted anyone to think i'm wearing my dad's/boyfriend's/husband's watch
2. Waaaaaay to big for my wrist, right?

So i thought.

In my recent quest, I even went to try on a Breitling Superocean II 36, but dismissed it right away as "too boyish," hard to explain, nice watch, but that really looked like i took my dad's watch for a spin.

One of you mean enables recently posted a picture of gf/wife wearing a Sub and it looked amazing. I really tried hard NOT to look for that post again, but it was enough to put a bug in my head.
I even asked this morning someone to post a picture, same situation, better half hogging the sub

I mean, who doesn't want a Sub?

My husband might divorce me if i come home with one, so i'll have to plan this well. Christmas is just around the corner. Might have to say no to that FX Nikon... Sigh.

Anyhow, because you mean enablers don't stop posting gorgeous photos of your timepieces, I totally felt the pressure to try the sub/sd myself today, great time to spend a lunch on an office day. I went to Howard Frum that was recommended here a few days ago. Food is overrated anyway.

Did i mention, bad folks here? Bad bad!!!

So, I tried a Sub and a 40mm Sea Dweller.
My heart rate increased by a bit
I'm not at the 'which one' decision yet. Like i said, i'll have to plan this.

What i really need to hear from you is "it looks horrible, it looks like you took your husband's watch, it's too big for you, that watch makes your butt looks huge" and all that kind of stuff. I won't be offended, promised.

The kind Travis offered to take some pictures. Here they are.

Please don't disappoint me. I need my sleep at night

Thank you for your help!

I like big watches on girls,,,look trendy

I Know 2 girls that wear the GMT Coke & Pepsi

Sub & Sea Dweller - looks cool also...

[PanosI]

There is nothing sexier in this world than a sport SS 40 mm rolex in a woman's wrist......

[KeithP]

Looks killer IMO. Tiny watches remind me too much of Grandma's watch these days. You've got style and your husband must be cool cat to have landed you.

[Simon_e]

It looks great!

[BNA/LION]

Ha! Welcome to the Jungle! Looks GREAT on you!

Buy, Buy, Buy!

[Jocke]

That looks perfect IMHO, it fits you well. So now home and start prepare your husband. I'm pretty sure he will love it too.

Good luck.

[MrInternational]

I think that looks terrific on you. You look stylish and attractive ... I hope I look that good in one - I'm planning for my next as well and the Sub or SD are definitely on the list.

Have you seen one on my wrist?

[r8t3d_M]

I think it looks great on you!

[sensui]

Seems fine on your wrist....but moving into a FX Nikon is equally as important IMO. Looks like a great Christmas coming up for you either way.

Hehe.....yep a lot, but in your occasion means that you have an excellent taste in watches, my friend Joacim

[Dpop24]

That looks amazing on you. You NEED this watch! I would love to have a 40mm Sea Dweller as well. You should buy it right away as it's discontinued and won't last long at the shop.

I didn't understand something you said: Your husband might divorce you if you buy a Rolex?? That doesn't compute for me... it's usually the other way round.

Well, you aren't going to like this... but I think it looks very good. I think a Sub or Sub Date would also look great. What about an LV, the all green version Sub?

Enablers? Here? Surely you jest! By the way, I'd just like to say- Wow! That watch looks like it was made just to spend its existence on your wrist. It's quite possible you were in fact actually made just for each other. There may have never been, or ever will be, a better pairing than you and that exact watch. Not only does it not make your butt look bigger, it makes you and everyone you're in the room with look at least 10 years younger and 10lbs lighter. The colors are brighter in the world when you wear that watch and the forest animals gather around to gaze upon you and the watch. Angels sing when you look at your wrist to check the time. Passing that watch up could put you at risk for living the rest of your days in an empty, hollow existence that you would never forgive yourself for. That's just my opinion though, I'm sure you'll make the right choice. ;-)
Now if you'll excuse me I've got other people to not enable...

[Redtele58]

Do it!

Remember - it's easier to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.

[logan5tx]

Oh wait! I just saw that your husband may divorce you if you buy that Rolex! I'm sure you'll miss him. Sometimes.

[Joemck]

You rock that watch. tell your husband if he's nice, you'll let him borrow it once in a while.
Actually-- forget that. He's on his own. Subs are nice too

congrats in advance

Well,if that doesn't do it, we should all just go home

Hahaha, yeah, that's the thing. He didn't want one. Can you imagine? I tried that trick first, then i'd hog it like others do.
He said, nope, he's happy with the Tag. And he really looked sexy wearing it. He tried on a deep blue and it was made for him.

I think it would have to be the black version, although the LV is gorgeous too. I kept looking back to that Galactic 36 that was in the game, last time around. And i keep thinking the black dial is my thing. black and SS. I already went outside of my comfort zone with rhodium LOL

Thank you!!! He didn't want one, can you imagine?

He does look very sexy with the tag though. But the SD looked amazing on him.

[Oceanlover914]

Surprisingly, I like it (although it doesn't match the nail polish). The Sea Dweller is an AWESOME watch!! I say o for it. And yes, this forum will absolutely do nothing to deter you from buying Rolex after Rolex :)

[GerardoG]

Sorry. Can NOT help you with 'it does not look good'


I think you already have your Christmas present....

[KrismanX]

You NEED this watch. You DESERVE this watch. Get the watch. I say SD all day.

[ras47]

I think that SD4K is a PERFECT fit for you! Congrats!! It's not dainty by any stretch, but it's also not overpowering.The perfect watch for someone who's not afraid of a little wrist presence.

I had a similar (but reversed) situation for decades with the GMT2 Pepsi I finally got. For all that time I wrote it off, telling myself that a 40mm watch was too small on my 7 3/4" wrists. Yet I never bothered to find one to try on. And it's magic. :)

[mementomori1983]

Huge congrats! It looks great on you. My gf recently took a liking to my 14060m and she's been wearing it non-stop. Seeing how well it fits her and her personality, I don't mind at all! 40mm Rolex diver on a woman's wrist is a very stylish and attractive look

I KNOW!!! I do wear black/very dark nail polish (if at all). This color matches the YM :)

Oh, i think you're so right!!!


Are there any pills on the grey market?? Like, something you take, and the watch addiction goes away? Help a sista out!!!
How is one cured?

[Nav01L]

Congratulations OP, I think that does look great on your wrist.

Haha, I hear you my friend. The Nikon is not really the problem though, the Nikkor is where they get you...

[yxc145]

The watch looks great on you. Hey, Charlize Theron is wearing the 44mm Deepsea D-Blue!
My wife loves the Sub-LV. She is worrying about the same thing.
I told her it will look great. Hopefully purchase it in a couple of years for the 5 year Anniversary for her. That way, I can adjust the watch it and borrow it sometime.

I must stop by Howard Frum sometime soon.
