I am cheap. One day I went out and saw a friend who lives paycheck to paycheck with a Rolex on his wrist. I came home and started shopping for luxury watches, but my mind just could not rationalize spending all that money. For two weeks, I was indecisively adding and removing the watch from an online shopping cart. Then I went into work and had such a stressful day that I wanted to jump off a building. I started asking myself, "What's the point of all this? Why can't I just treat myself to a nice watch and have a little fun? I could die tomorrow and all of this would be for naught." I came home and added and removed the watch a few more times, closed my eyes, then hit the order button. I received the watch today. I am so happy. I made the right decision!

Congrats and welcome to the message board. You made the right decision!

I am surprised no alcohol was involved in this story.

And I totally get the cheap part.

Congrats! Now, the question would be what is the next watch? 馃槈

I'm afraid this is the last one for a long while 馃檨

If not for the diapers to purchase and the mouths to feed, I would really like a Nomos Tangente, Minimatik or a Metro. But I don't foresee this happening any time soon!

Congrats. I believe your word is frugal as you know a good value and will pay for it. Cheap is rather always trying to look for the lowest price even if it is a highly inefficient use of time.

Wrist shots! We demand wrist shots! 馃榿

Congrats! 馃槈

lol thank you 馃榾

I tried taking a wrist shot with my DSLR, but the only lens I have is a 85mm and it won't focus at this close of a distance. And my cell phone camera is dead.

If you like Nomos. Look st Junghans for a more frugal alternative
