Thanks for the comments means a lot. Most people I speak to say it a waste at the age I am 18 years old. Already got the bug after a daydate fingers crossed !

It's NOT a waste at all ! I think you did really well. I admire it that you've put your mind to it and ultimately get it aswell ! I was 25 when I got my first good watch (a TT Rolex daytona) even if I was into wristwatches since I was 10-11 years old So certainly congratulations to my mate

Congratulations on the piece and well done to get it at 18, having worked hard for it.
Are the people who are telling you it's a waste the same age as you? What are they spending their money on? iPhones, playsations and games etc. probably.
I wish I had the sense to buy a Rolex at 18 instead of blowing all my money on crap and nights out drinking every Friday and Saturday night.
