....to constantly stare at my wrist to look at my first Rolex? I feel like a complete jerk constantly staring at it but I am giddy. I got a SS Sub Date. I purchased it through TRF (justrolexes). It is just so damn nice looking.

I want to thank everyone here for all of the great advice that I got (while deciding on my purchase) while reading through the forums. Cheers everyone!

yes, its perfectly normal (but others may think you are nuts...)

The wife caught me looking at the watch the other day and asked me what time it was..... I replied - no idea about the time, I was just check my my watch out...

DeVille · 18 February 2010, 10:45 AM

Did the same thing when I got mine. Still do. That was 8 years ago...

Unfortunately, quite normal.

Just make sure no one else is around otherwise they will think you are

Enjoy your watch!

CPTL · 18 February 2010, 10:51 AM

Define normal.

Is it normal to own more than two multi-thousand dollar watches? Is it normal to train yourself to sleep "crown down?"

You bet your clasp it is!

haha just got my first Rolex yesterday...cant stop looking at it. the more I look at it, more I like it.

Sub'erman · 18 February 2010, 11:00 AM

perfectly normal!!!
(remember to look at your wife with the same love in your eyes every once in a while!!!)

Very common - Enjoy!

prem · 18 February 2010, 11:05 AM

btw...i need to thank this forum and the people for helping me pick my first Rolex...

PeteNYC13 · 18 February 2010, 11:07 AM

I have been looking at mine and polishing it with my shirt, eye glass wipe, admiring it....every day for 8+ years. My sales reps make fun of me when they catch me doing it at meetings.

It's even worse when I have on the YM and the darn PCL!

You will get used to it...and grow to accept it. :-)
Enjoy the Rolex....congrats.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever..." and this rings true with the best looking wristwatches.

jnkay · 18 February 2010, 11:19 AM

That's what Rolexes are made for! You get to tell time with style. But as so many of us have said, all that style often gets in the way of actually knowing what time it is, no matter how long we've been staring at it.

rfknauss · 18 February 2010, 11:20 AM

Perfectly normal. When I bought my latest watch from my local Rolex AD, she warned me not to stare at it while I was driving home. She said she sold a Rolex to a lady the prior week and she kept staring at it while driving home and had an accident!

I'm pretty sure we can enjoin the AD in the lawsuit. This was clearly foreseeable--they should have called her a taxi.

realest145 · 18 February 2010, 11:29 AM

I constantly have that problem, but we all worked hard to have our Rolexes so I think we have the right to stare at them as much as we want!! ENJOY!!

meloncap78 · 18 February 2010, 11:57 AM

Funny....I was gong to start a similar thread tonight. I have had my LV close to 2 years now and I find myself staring at it constantly throughout the day... STILL!. It has gotten even worse since I received the new black insert from Steve. I even recently purchased 2 Tag Heuers to alternate but alas, I keep going back to the LV. I even take it off and hold it in my hand and let the light play on it. All that high quality machined 904L glistening so perfectly and luxuriously......sigh. I too am sick.

prem · 18 February 2010, 12:07 PM

Today I went for lunch with my friend and after he saw me staring at my Rollie, he said: Welcome to the Swiss Club.
now I look foreword to taking a shit because I can sit down and enjoy searing at my watch......oohhhhh I cant stop.

sakuraba · 18 February 2010, 12:08 PM

Is it normal to stare at other people's Rolexes?

Sorry I asked, but that's usually the next symptom to this disease we all have

Boopie · 18 February 2010, 12:09 PM

Completely normal...

...and if you think that is silly, wait a few years down the road, for when you have feelings of missing your watch after you send it in for service.

mcjca · 18 February 2010, 01:19 PM

Glad to see that I am not alone. I am dreading the time when I have to send it in for service!! I will definitely miss it.
