I'm a believer. :D

I posted the pics of the box because I wanted to, but just so you know I don't have to prove anything to you at all. I know it is real, my friends and family know it is real and that is all that matters.

I understand your sentiment but on online it's hard to believe anything easily faked like this so it's a good thing you bother to prove to us.
 
It is a pretty sexy combo. I don't forsee this as a bragging right. And even if it was, so what. He can afford the watch, others can't. To have the money to spend on a watch, and not be worried about it, kudos good sir! i cringed at spending 400 on my sport lol

How was your purchasing experience? The midnight blue/gold case is absolutely gorgeous.

Also, I need a car. PM me if you can help out. ;)

I ordered it from Apple.com. They did away with the courier service so it just came UPS Overnight. Overall very easy and painless.
 
I don't like all the doubting. Even if he was lying, who cares? It looks gorgeous!!! If it was a knock-off then congrats on a FINE reproduction. Gorgeous either way :)

PS - dudes with this kind of money worked hard for it. And if they didn't their forefathers did. I hope my hard work will turn my kids and grandchildren into privileged little *******s. Better than being born to janitors like I was haha!!!

You missed a good opportunity to see how the apple employees handle themselves in store when buying one of these. Also, you could have paid with all $2.00 bills and walked in with a briefcase full of cash. :)

I know it is real, my friends and family know it is real and that is all that matters. You can believe what you want to believe and you are entitled to any opinion that you want. I don't care what you or anyone else thinks about how I should spend my money or if it is real or not or that it is going to be obsolete. I knew and thought of all of that before I purchased it. I simply posted this thread to show pictures of my new toy and thought people would like to see it and NOT for any advice/praise/clapping or anything of that matter.

Trolls want to get you worked up. Please don't get sucked into it.

However, I want to know what you do for a living now! Great looking watch and hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing, hope you are enjoying retirement and the new watch.

Are we supposed to clap and give you praise because you spent a ridiculous amount of money on a smartwatch that will inevitably become outdated and obsolete?

Hey man, should I clap that you're jealous of someone with money?

Take a second to think before you pass judgement on a fellow human being. You sure you're perfect yourself?

I pretty much ignore the edition because it's too expensive but dam...that's the nicest Apple Watch picture I've seen in a long time. It's perfection.

Only thing is can you still buy new bands with the gold accents? I like changing up the look and I'm not sure how you would get matching bands

Would you like some toast with your jelly? You're oozing jealously LOL

Since all your family members have the AWE, would you consider adopting me? Jk! Neat watch!

I consider myself kind of in the middle. I ABSOLUTELY think the op has every right to be proud of his watch. I 100% think people who work hard should be rewarded and enjoy the fruits of their work. I do however somewhat agree with what the other side is saying. It's one thing to be proud of something like this and show others, it's an entirely different one to brag. I don't know the OPs intent in the slightest so I can't say he was bragging or not. HOWEVER, I do question starting a new thread with such a title when he could have posted in the general "show us your Apple Watch" thread. I do believe that is suspect. But either way the OP SHOULD be proud and allowed to show others his watch!

Btw to the OP - your watch is absolutely beautiful! I think that's the ONLY edition combo I've seen that I not only like but LOVE! Great job on picking out a fantastic color combo and congrats to you! Enjoy your new watch!

TL;DR - while the OPs decision to start a new thread with such a title is a bit suspect maybe and more tact probably could have been used, I see no reason for anyone to hate on him for being able to purchase and show others his watch/accomplishments.

I have no problem with the OP starting a thread about this watch. The Edition is rare and many of us are interested in it. Far fewer people would have seen it if it had been added to the general thread. Also, the OP has posted a number of high quality photographs.

I see no evidence here of bragging, either. He's happy, and he's sharing his happiness. Good for him, good for us.

What I don't like is the new classic buckle strap. I absolutely hate it. It looks really clumsy and inelegant to me.

Wow! It absolutely amazes me that they will ship something like that out, I'd be bricking it, worrying someone would drop it :D

Don't even bother, people that are hostile like that don't last long here :p
 
Cool watch! Thanks for increasing my Apple stock!

May I ask if Apple gives you a special web portal to order alternate watch straps like the edition sport band?

Beautiful watch. Congratulations on the purchase. Regardless of the technology, it is a stunning timepiece. Ignore those saying you should have posted in the other thread. I think this deserved a thread of it's own. They're aren't many edition owners around and I wouldn't have went searching the 'post your watch' thread to find one.
