when i received a a very warm welcome to TRF several months ago i was warned there would be consequences and my first rolex would not be my last!!!

well picked up a beautiful new-to-me 1680 from gslaskin a few weeks ago (thanks Gary!!) and it has not left my wrist since it arrived. i'm starting to feel bad for my exp1, but i figure i'll go back to it in due time...

the problem is, i keep looking at subCs and liking what i see. uh oh...

Congrats! Yeah it's a sickness, you were warned. :)

I am infected too

it is called Rolexilitis. There is no cure.

Nice watch by the way. Enjoy!

Nice....congrats!

Many congrats and welcome to the 'sickness' club. the sickness arrived to me in the year 2010, my 40th birthday year. I went through 'some' watches (100% of those "past" & "present" ones in my signature are the products since 2010) and I still find myself in and out of the forum at least couple of times a day.. wear it in good health..

I'm where you were a few months back; just bought my first Rolex, received a very warm welcome to TRF, and currently telling people its going to be my "only" Rolex... I guess I'd better keep saving!

Congrats Ryan!

I love the patina on your sub!!!!

Congrats! For some it never ends.

cblk · 9 February 2013, 08:44 AM

thanks everyone for your sympathy, i don't think there's much hope for me at this point!

the 1680 was a great find, and wearing it is a completely different experience than the contemporary explorer. very glad i picked up a vintage so soon...

@Matt: welcome to the best. sickness. ever.
