Hi All - 1st Post and a little history of my (unhealthy) Rolex Obsession.
Hi All,

Been a massive longtime lurker of this forum so thought I join and say hello. The knowledge on this site is something else.

Always been a massive Rolex fan but only bought my 1st Rolex about 4 years ago. I am 35 now.

Believe or not in the space of 4 years I have chopped my watch an insane amount of times.

I have had the :

Rolex Polar 16570
Rolex GMT 116570 (then acquired an additional Black Bay Burgundy then sold)
Rolex GMT II 116710 LN BLACK
Rolex Pepsi 16710
Rolex Submariner 116610 LV
Rolex GMT II 116710 BLNR
Rolex Daytona 116520 White Dial
Rolex GMT II 116710 LN BLACK (AGAIN)
Rolex Pepsi 16710 (AGAIN)
Rolex GMT II 116710 BLNR (AGAIN)

And now I have the watch below!

Rolex Daytona 16520 Zenith White Dial.



It's crazy really in the space of 4 years that I have chopped so much and changed and had the same watch again and again. It's not healthy really but I do get bored quite easily and defintely lost a lot of money chopping and changing

I have a kid now so able to keep a lid on it. My Zenith Daytona has no box or papers unlike all my other ones which did (but I never kept them long enough to appreciate it) but I think this fact will pursade me to keep this watch long enough, possible forever lol.

Thanks all for reading.

Welcome to the forum. I can't believe you've had that many watches in a 4 year period half the fun is the hunt and anticipation .

Exactly - I get bored really easily and changing so much is crazy and killed off any enjoyment after a while!

The Zenith has always been a holy grail so I really hope to keep this one forever (lol)

Seriously, enjoy your Daytona in good health. If you need some semblance of papers, send to RSC for service. You'll then get a 2 year service warranty.
