Not crazy at all IMO, 3/4 SS Rolex around at any given time. I think that is normal but apparently I have completely lost it if you ask my wife

You've got a house far away from any neighbors, a reserved parking spot for your car, and a wife who would never leave you (and if she does, who cares). What more you could you ask for?

My watch collection is worth more than my car but that's not saying much for either.

My two Rolex watches cost four times my current monthly income and roughly half the price of my car.

I won't factor in the bevy of lesser watches that I have.
