I got Rolex fever Help me!

Ok 3 weeks ago I purchased a 114060 and thought it would be the only Sub I would need??? Loved the clean dial.
Just a week later I traded it for sub date as I missed the date.
Now I'm trading it for a ceramic Bluesy sunburst and I really want one!
Am I insane or will this stop at the Bluesy?

Bluesy ceramic images would be good to see too please.

Not insane, maybe very impatient perhaps.
No harm in it I suppose.
Do you enjoy the purchasing more than the wearing??
Are you losing money on these trades??

Well your not insane! However, it seems that you want every Rolex all at once so to speak... Hence the constant trading. I think you should take a moment to think about what you really want and stick with it. Then, think about your next Rolex. I know Rolexes are expensive, and it can be hard to settle on just one.. Believe me, I have been there and done that. The best thing is to really think, and take you're time! I know it's hard waiting, but it will be worth the wait once you've found the one

You need to take a break from flipping or you will go broke.

x2. You may find yourself wanting full gold, or a LVC next.

Now trade the TT bluesy for all gold Bluesy



TT Bluesy is a beauty and should keep you sane for a while....hopefully

As others said, it's probably wise to step back and take time to reflect on your next Rolex purchase. I would hold on to your current Sub and add something to complement that but if you truly believe a "bluesy" would do it for you then go for it.

Now that you want color maybe you should take a close look at the hulk also before you pull trigger on bluesy.

Don't think I will go broke just yet lol.
Think the SS Sub is a great watch but not exciting enough.
Fancy a touch of gold and colour.

IMO keep the SS. Wait, save and buy the TT also.

Seems you enjoy the chase more than owning the watch.

Good luck!

I would say yes.
With that blue color on dial and bezel and the added gold accent, yeah, have noticed folks noticing it.
However, I think it's folks that know what it is.
I think to someone that has no clue, it won't be any different than any other watch as fact is, they have no clue.

If you're looking for a sub with a touch of color, then I think this is the one.
