What is wrong with me...?

Ever since i've got this 1665 i can't make myself wear another one of my vintage pieces...
I used to change watches almost every day, now only this one gets wristtime.

You guy's had the same experience ? This white has realy got to me...

Don't blame you as that is a fantastic specimen.

Same thing happened when I first got my 1665. Eventually I started missing my other pieces and my Great White took its place in the rotation.

Enjoy it Robby - your other pieces will still be there waiting for you. I'm having a similar issue right now, but as Karl said, the "honeymoon period" will come to an end at some point (hopefully)

As stated in another thread: my 1665 is the last to go. Never really understood the premium over a sub but the minute you buy one you do :-)

That's the actual feeling indeed Mark! I wonder what feeling a DRSD would give than ...?

Congrats on a great piece, stunning really.

If the feeling lasts indefinitely consider it an invitation to clean up the collection a bit.

I'm still the same way with my Red. The only watch I have ever owned where the honeymoon period has not wore off yet.
