1st Rolex, now I'm addicted

I bought my first Rolex last week and I'm in love. I can see how this can become an addiction!

Congrats. Now close your TRF account, cancel your interwebs with your ISP and never turn your computer/tablet/phone back on. Otherwise, welcome to the club. Can’t wait to see the next incoming ;).

Yup, it's an addiction. Got my second watch 2 years after my first, and then another 4 within the next 6 months. Now I've got 6 and utterly confused. I'm not planning to flip them - but I often change mid-day.

Hopefully, you can be a one watch guy. It's more satisfying.

Welcome. Congrats and sorry but don’t think there’s any way back from that addiction. In any case, looking forward to more incoming posts from you! Enjoy and have a great weekend.

Thank you all for the kind words! I look forward to TRF. Yes, I already have my eyes on something else haha. Like I said, I love this watch. Unfortunately, I cannot wear it during the day as I run a recycling facility in a harsh environment. I now need something I can wear on a daily basis. Air King perhaps lol?

Am I making excuses just to get another one? ��

You need a Sinn U1 or UX as they indestructible.

Worn my U1 for 5 years now as a daily wearer in construction, and there is not a mark on it.

As "Easy E" stated above, close up the TRF account or be prepared for the costly addiction to set in.

PS. Congrats on the new watch.
