Yes how did this happen I wonder myself?

For one I was busy working and studying.
For two all the watches I wanted I couldn't get and when I thought hard I really am glad I didnt.
For three I was going to purchase pm but then it was so close to basel.
For four I may have sold something and regretted it.

So one week away from basel let's hope I can purchase something in three months or so. If not I guess I will just wait until the perfect PM presents itself.

Perhaps a useless post but I am sure others have been in this predicament of late. A borderline addition is more palatable at below msrp then at or above.

Time to get back in the game Eliot

Flex368 · 14 March 2019, 09:52 PM

For me it has been almost 39 months since I bought a watch.

Do you feel better now?

I seem to be not worthy to receive a SS Daytona from my long-term AD but I wouldn´t call this being on a waitlist.

I’ve got problems.

I took a few months off then got sucked back in. Very sad.

i was doing great. i was out for a while with little interest.

This affliction has very little to do with what is needed.

Your logic is undisputable.

But I don’t know what I’d wear over any of these. As it is, I have a hard time choosing. They are all my favorite.

I'm right there with you, Eliot. Summer 2018 I got my GMT and I'm pretty close to getting a Planet Ocean Chronograph at some point this year or even in the next few months. After this I'm not sure how many more I'll hey because I've sold off a ton of Omega's in the past (4 to be exact).

We could see a subc chrono. Would be wild. I would be shocked.

Regardless to if that happens or not it'll be very interesting to see what Rolex releases.

My biggest debate now is if I should go for the Planet Ocean Chronograph with the 9300 movement or the updated version with the 9900 calibre.

I would love a Submariner but the similarities to my GMT make it very difficult to justify the steel version.

Bluside · 16 March 2019, 08:29 AM

If Rolex wanted you to buy a watch, they would make them available at their ADs.

SkyJuice · 14 March 2019, 11:19 PM

The Rolex's drought season prohibited me from buying too.

Your 20 month chip is in the mail.

Congratulations.

i got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell....i mean rolex.

Miguel Alvarez 2.0 · 15 March 2019, 04:12 AM

I’ve been the same. Not purchased anything for a few years now. A few life hurdles put a dent in the play funds. Along with not really seeing much within my impulse purchase range that I want. Almost got a 70s Cellini last year. Wish I did now as the price was pretty good but was procrastinating.

Funnily enough the watch I’ve wanted to buy the most lately and I’ve still to pull the trigger is a £20 Casio. Not had one since primary school.

singe89 · 15 March 2019, 04:15 AM

Been about 4 months since my last purchase and 8 months since my purchase before that. However, with current prices of the models I want I don't think I'll be getting anything for awhile.

droptopman · 15 March 2019, 04:26 AM

Similar here. Trying to remember my last purchase. I sold a vintage piece last year, but I think my last purchase was fall 2017. By far the longest I have gone without buying or flipping something in 15 years.

Chiboy · 15 March 2019, 04:30 AM

27 months for me, and before that about 380 months. Folks on here buy Rolexes and Pateks the way regular folk buy socks. Except regular folk don't sometimes sell their old socks to fund the purchase of new socks.

All those poor watches just waiting to be yours! Time to stop being selfish and give one (or two?) a good home!
