Strange feeling after getting white gold Sub

[tifosi]

...is this what it feels like to be satisfied?? Content?

Normally part of my daily routine (multiple times per day) was to to scour the TRF classifieds....see what's out there...checking on the market...seeing what prices were doing on models I was interested in...

I have not opened the classifieds once since I put this WG Sub on my wrist. What else is there for me to look for? I got the watch I always wanted.

Anyone else on here have this very unfamiliar feeling??

[EEpro]

Congrats! Great looking watch.

Now be careful, I don't want to see any "oh sht, my sub fell off my shift knob and got scratched" threads

[Schmed]

Can you send me that sub and I'll let you know if I get that feeling!

Congrats. Every time I scroll past a picture of that WG sub, I pause and stare for a while.

[Mystro]

That’s normal. I was the same way with my SS Daytona. Game over no need to look any more. Like being married to a supermodel that cooks well and likes clean your truck.

Congratulations on getting what you wanted!! Hopefully your itch has been scratched, for good

[swish77]

Yeah, I've had that feeling too. Lasts a couple of weeks before I start looking at watches again.

Congrats on that beautiful WG Sub. I miss mine.

Been there but the itch comes back!

No, that was all photoshopped...the watch lives in my safe! Are you crazy??

Just kidding!!!! My 2 daily drivers in one photo.

That's a pretty tempting offer!!!

I know...I used to do the same and just daydream.

Never even seen one of those IRL, either at an AD or on the wrist. A unicorn even compared to a SS Daytona. But sure looks nice!

The weight of PM on the wrist is so much nicer that SS. I have the WG GMT 'pepsi'- I love it.

I just need the truck part, now!

Historically you guys would be right. A few months ago I got what I thought was my ultimate "grail". I finally got the AP ROO Diver I thought would be my end game watch, even over and above a PM Rolex. I think after day 2 I was on the classifieds looking at watches. The watch lasted another 3 weeks after that as I tried to talk myself into it all while browsing the classifieds for SS Subs again. So I know the feeling of thinking I'm satisfied, but ending up being. This is different.

Beautiful watch Russ.

Russ, I want to help. Send me your WG sub and I’ll give you my GMT. That way, you’ll start looking at the classifieds again.


See? I’m such a helpful person

[JRell]

Like that you said that. While I grow my collection sometimes I think what if I had just that one, and this would be the one. Good to know this is possible.

[ArtNouveau]

Never say never but I am not actively seeking anything currently. I’ve mentioned before if a green or blue OP41 was dropped in my lap I would take it but I am not hounding my SA for one. I am so glad to be over the FOMO I have sometimes exhibited over watches in the past.

I mean....it would give me something to do everyday. A purpose. This may not be a bad option.

You have to get the bracelet fixed on the GMT, first, though.

It is definitely possible. You just have to have one that you love above all others. If not, a collection may be the most satisfying path.

Congratulation Russ!
Wonderful watch, really wonderful!

and it matches very well with a Ducati!

[Eric88]

Beautiful watch and I'm inspired!

[carwash66]

Congratulations Russ.
Being satisfied is a great feeling. I thought the WG DD 40 would do it for me. I really enjoy wearing the DD, but the new WG Sub was still on my mind. Finally pulled the trigger on the Sub a few months ago. It is pretty much my daily now. You picked a winner!

Hmmm possibly! When riding season starts here in a few months I'll report back.

Thank you! I believe I picked a winner as well. Hope you are enjoying yours as much as I am mine.

Nope, but yearning for that feeling. Guess I haven't found my grail yet. :D

[TheWatchmen]

Totally. Being content with what you have is a pretty great feeling.

Unfortunately to get there it was kind of a costly process…that said, you never lose unless you sell…so I guess I’m “ahead” even though my bank account says otherwise.

[Loujo]

Don't worry. The dark side will pull you back in, just when you thought you were out...

Patek, AP, Vacheron, Lange, Journe

[Jimmy 2 Times]

I really hope that one day I get where you are. I think my grail watch will definitely be a precious metal but every time I buy something after 6 months to a year it’s just another watch or car. I am working on this though and being retired helps a lot.

[Laostuh]

Nice picture. But honestly can't relate. I'm always on the hunt.
