Trouble - I'm Fully Addicted
1 month ago I owned a couple TAG's, a datejust (love it - 16220, roman numerals, fluted bezel), a Tissot (I wear this one all time), and a garmin gps golf watch (surprisingly accurate, no help with the scoring). I bought none of these watches - all gifts over about a 15 year span.
In the last month I have bought a GMT IIC and a SubC; both of which I love and have no regrets. Now I'm on the hunt for a leather strap Panerai or Patek. Clearly I have issues. (I love this forum, I hate this forum, I love this forum, I hate this forum) |

Trust me , we ALL have issues ! But if anyone gets so bad that watches are getting in the way of your marriage/ everyday life , I'd be glad to take them off your hands free of charge ! No need to thank me , I'm just nice like that !😜

The first step is admitting you have a "problem"!

Welcome to TRF. You have caught the virus. No known cure. Just enjoy the ride and your new watches.

I can sympathize. This disease has no cure. Maybe one way to alleviate the addiction is to avoid TRF.

It's this miserable forum, I tell you! Filled with a bunch of shady characters, bad influences all of them! Always showing you their private things, stirring lustful thoughts and offering the worst temptations!
Thing is - I love it! Aaaargh!!

Welcome to the club. We've been waiting for you!
What model Panerai are you searching for as I'm in the same boat? |

Welcome and hold on for the ride! Rolex will tug at you hard and seeing OP's watches gives you more urge for a reference you don't have yet!
Congrats on loving your watches and we enjoy watching your collection grow! |

The best thing for you to do now is to spend as much time as possible on the "for sale" sub forum. It"ll kill you or cure you. My guess is the former.

Find a new interest. With the golf season approaching I'm becoming less interested in watches
