AD : Hi it's Wesley

Me : Who ?

AD : Wesley, from Rolex

Me : Oh....

AD: Yes, ..... anyway, I wanted to let you know....., it's been 3 years since you expressed interest in the Submariner, and we obviously dont have anything for you yet, ....

Me: Oh.....

AD : Yes, I mean, why would we, given your lack of history and all......

Me: Right......

AD : However what I can do for you...... I have a brown Lady-Datejust that just came in....I normally would reserve this piece for established clients as well, but you know, I guess I'm feeling generous today.....

Me: Right....

AD : Yes, so if you could make your way down to us, and please I have a pedicure this afternoon, so could you be here before 1pm, before I change my mind......this will be a huge moment for you I imagine......

Me: Riiiight.....ok.......look, you know, I think I'm going to pass.......

AD: .......sorry, what was that ?

Me: Yeah, I think I'll pass on this .....

AD: ......... You'll pass? ...........I'm sorry , I don't think you understand dear, you probably won't get this opportunity again.......

Me: That's ok, I'm good actually.....

AD: .......what ? ..........you're "good" ?

Me: Yeah , I'm not into your watches anymore. I've actually decided to buy the new Garmin Forerunner 70 , which just came out

AD: ...........like, WHAT......

Me: Yeah this thing can track your heart rate and predict your health, draw up a training plan for you, has GPS, ...... I don't think any of your models do this yet ?

AD: Is this some kind of joke?

Me: Yeah, and it's only $299 on Amazon, and you just order it, I didn't need to get to know Amazon first as well.......

AD: .............<cuts call>..........

[Garmin Forerunner 70] The best value in watches EVER

I know this isn't a watch that this sub normally considers.

However, I was reading about this new watch earlier today, the new Garmin Forerunner 70.

For the intersection of the technology it has, what this thing can do, the features, and then, the price (US $249), honestly I'm blown away.

This is the best value watch ever created.

I'm just posting it here to see what people think.

They are. The previous guy covered watch in his sweat and body odour at best, who knows what else at worst, and people queue up to pay huge sums for a second hand piece of metal with all that, just because it has a certain logo on it .......

When you sit down and think about it, you'll never buy a second hand watch ever .....
