25, going to grad school, married (both work) gotta pay the bills.
I'm sure that the leash that Apple has me on will force me to sell some stuff that I don't use and use some of that tax return money to get me one. My wife is okay with me getting one as long as I don't get one next year (upgrade to an Apple Watch 2nd gen). She says that she knows that I'll get it so to not waste time and just get it.
I originally wanted a Black SS but after seeing that it cost $1100...no thanks. I later wanted the SS 42mm with the milanese loop but $700 is a bit too much.
So now either a 42mm Sports Space Gray or 42mm SS with black sports band (and down the road upgrade the band to the the link).
