I have a sickness
I can't believe I came into this forum one month ago to research a new submariner for my 50th birthday… Which I am finally able to complete the purchase on Monday
And in that interim time, 250 posts, and I don't know how many man hours later, I have now managed to purchase three watches before my sub. This is a sickness

Only 4 watches, geez guys I think we're losing it.

Ed, does Larsen's Fish Market in Menemsha mean anything to you? One of my favorite places on the east coast...we Minnesotans...we get around!

Nope, I see no issue here. Pretty normal behavior.
