What is the most extreme measure you've taken to get a watch?
I am sitting on my sofa, browsing the web looking at pictures of a watch, a Rolex Submariner 14060m pre-chronometer. I have been thinking about this watch more and more everyday and I know it will be my next purchase but, I just don't know when. Thoughts of selling part of my wife's DVD collection or one or two of my dogs have flashed through my mind more than once and I think "Bond, get a hold of yourself! This is only a watch!! There are more important things."That is true. There are more important things (although I couldn't come up with any at that very moment). But when you have been chasing something for so long and you are close to getting it, but still so far away that desire to 'get it now' takes over. And you are almost willing to give up whatever is necessary to get that one desirable things. Anyone else ever felt this way over a watch? Please tell me I'm not alone here. :) ~JB

But, being that the majority of us here are generally just watch lovers and admire Patek pieces, I'm curious as to how many fit into my category when it comes to affordability vs just flat out I'm gonna do what I have to so that I can acquire x Patek?Without getting too personal how do you fit in the $25k+ ownership? I'm far from a good writer so hope this comes across as I intend it to. Using myself an an example:My wife and I make decent money but also have quite a few properties and other ongoing expenses that have to be paid each month/year so flopping down $25k+ on a watch isn't a minor purchase by any means and I would normally have to save for 6 months to a year for such purchase unless relinquished a property of some sort or flipped watches. I'm sure there are PP owners out there that make a lot less money but are so in love with a watch that t
