Icon20 My first Rolex

I bought matching Rolex's this year for christmas for my girlfriend and I. I have never had a nice watch before and I had a great your so I decided to treat myself. OP39 OP36 Red Grape.

Well Two weeks later I liked it so much I went back bought another one lol. Explorer 2 black dial amazing every day watch I love it. I wear it every day although sometimes I switch to the red grape.

My question is does the addiction stop? Also what should be my next Rolex I put myself on the list for BLNR and Sky Dweller so we will see I think if I get either my addiction will stop lol(I hope).

Also can someone let me know how to post pictures it says I can't use links until 10 posts lame.

Congrats and welcome.

Here's a good way to know if you're addicted. You buy a new watch 2 weeks or less after you buy your first one.

Kidding...enjoy it. And...post some pics when you have enough posts.

Does sounds like you have a bit of an addiction building up there.

Welcome and congratulations

Time to explore another brand. Look at a IWC Port chrono, blue or white dial, something different than the run of the mill Rolex on a bracelet watch. Have fun with some straps, it can be a whole new addiction.

By the way. I have owned so many different Rolex sport watches of the years and my Explorer II is my favorite of them all. You already have the perfect Rolex sport watch, no need for another Rolex.

Sad that with all the watches I have, I bought my wife the first Rolex of the house for her birthday. 34 Red Grape, and when she opened the outer box and was staring at the green leather inner box, she said “I still have no idea what this is!”

I should’ve bought me one first.

Oh well

Pics or it didn't happen!

Congrats on the new watches. Take some time to really enjoy each one before moving onto the next!

The addiction never stops. I started with a Seiko last January. I owned 15 different watches in 2017 alone.

Nice username by the way ;)
