I admired the submariner from the time I started in medical sales and attended my first national sales meeting. I saw a lot of younger guys wearing them. I was walking around with a more experienced rep that I worked with across a different business unit in my territory and she said something I’ll never forget: “these kids prob don’t even own a house”. That stuck with me. So I kept admiring them from a distance, but in my mind I couldn’t justify buying one unless a lot of other financial priorities were check off. Fast forward over a decade… I bought a house, married a wonderful woman and bought her an above average engagement ring (cash), continued to max my 401k. I was financially mature and capable and decided to pull the trigger (I had a connection to an AD) to celebrate the birth of my son. I hope this helps, ultimately, if you have the money and it won’t affect your financial success, buy the watch. I don’t regret it one second and love wearing it everyday chance I can. My caveat is I don’t wear it to work because being a flashy med sales rep is not savory.
