Great collection! In good company here!

I don't call it sickness, it's just a hobby for rich guys collecting of high end watches.
For instance: I don't see a problem of collecting anything but DJ II or GMT MASTER II with all the dial vs bracelet and bezel options.

I'd say a little bit of hobby plus sickness.

Which do you find yourself wearing the most?

My today pick... the GMT BLNR, beautiful, comfortable and wearable.

The only thing "sick" is your collection!! Congrats!

[AlvinC]

Tank you everyone for the nice welcome... I´m feel like house here, a madhouse...

[TinyCyclops]

A sick hobby Glad you have joined the club!

Most people don't understand why you need more than one watch since you can only wear one at a time.

It's a hobby if you can afford it, it's sick if you can't.

Personally, I put aside a $1,000 month into a fun fund, maybe once or twice a year I'll buy a watch and fine tune the collection or I use the money on my bi-annual trips to Vegas.

It's money I have no attachment to and no allegiance too, it's pure pleasure money. But i'm single, have no kids, have no debt and have plenty socked away for retirement plus a pension at 65 and social security.

I'd sell a couple of your least worn SS Rolexes as well and research trusted sellers here for some great prices... that's what I did.

Perfectly put, John.

Welcome! Together we all seem a bit more sane than apart!

[time2see]

As Headshrinker diagnosed, sickness indeed!
With such a collection, who needs a cure.
Just check in regularly to TRF for "support sessions" .
Very nice watches, congrats.

Also whilst not a cast iron investment, you will almost certainly get your money back after you tire of gloating over them.

Owning Rolexes is actual quite a harmless and sensible hobby.

Interesting, 20 Rolex's bought new would exceed the value of my house.

Oh and nice collection !

It's a sick hobby, and you sir are past the point of no return. Welcome!

We are all sick, but who would ever want the cure

When you buy a new Rolex just say to your self: It is a saving for when I retire. It is one of the best way to enjoy my savings :) . It is like putting money on a closed account :) Works like a charm! The wife likes the way I "present" this aswell.

[submariner66]

I don't like the last three either,

[Rolex addict]

Very sick. Welcome to the club!

[lmcgbaj]

The only cure to feeling guilty is to buy a Patek.

Then Rolex feels like a bargain.

I'm in almost the exact same boat only I like cycling vacations in Europe.
