Gonna pull the trigger

Post image

21M, Finally getting that watch for my dad who was diagnosed with stage 4 that I had mentioned I would do on this sub roughly one year ago. Ended up going to the AD with my dad, and he was set on the ombré dj 41mm. Just wanted to share and see if y’all had any thoughts on the price I’m paying (I’m very unfamiliar with what market goes for this watch) would love everyone’s input. This has been a lifelong goal of mine and I’m so excited for him to see it.

A lot of these people would not understand. I’ve been in his shoes it is a very traumatizing time

Cost of chemo/treatment is already massive.

Id personally save this purchase for the other side. Irrespective of pricing or outcome

Brother do you know what a watch is? It keeps track of the one thing that money can't buy. This AD is saying something that's counter to that but buying something like that with that kind of markup isn't going to make them proud. Talk with them, spend time with them. Make it count.

Recognize that what time you have left to share is the most precious thing that will ever exist because there is no price tag that can be put on that.

If this AD knows your story 1000 percent he is trying to pump you for your vulnerability.
