I am in!
Hi all,

lurker and reader, but with new job, relo and doing Onboarding in a different state I got bored and checked out an AD.
Well, they had two SubCs... but I maturely walked way. 5 weeks later and stopping by the local AD asking about SubCs who told me I was crazy not buying one of those two I called the other AD who still had them and ordered.

Now here I am holding it in my hand

I consider it Father's Day present, but I will not wear it until my birthday in August, so my wife doesn't have to worry about a present for me.\

Until then I might even trade up. Let's see.

Nice to meet & read you all!

It was still available 5w later, that means you were meant to own it. You really didn't have any choice against destiny. You had to do it.

See how rationalization works?

Trade up? Wait until you wear it - you might find that nothing else compares.
