I feel naked, oh I mean my arm feels naked because I shipped my Rolex off for a trade + cash transaction and I don't have another Rolex to wear. I have a Cartier I could wear until my new "incoming" arrives. But that just wouldn't feel right. Plus what if my arm rejects the Cartier and then has to have therapy to get over the shock that I put something else on it other than a Rolex.

Ugh. What is a girl to do....

The bracelet on my Day-Date may stretch prematurely because I clap too much at the polo matches.

Love this thread...

1. My rehaut engraving doesn't line up perfectly on my $10k watch
2. When I spend my days looking at my $100k watch collection under a loupe I notice imperfections.

List additional favorites.....

"I have only had it a month and my new Deep Sea got a scratch on the case. It's not too obvious, but I can see it very clearly with a loupe...what should I do?"

I really need to have a larger safe installed, because every time I want to get one of my other Rolex out of the handmade 20 space cherry wood watch display box, I have to go through the hassle of disturbing my gold collection and I find myself just wearing the same old Submariner instead.

I need a bigger warehouse to store my vintage car collection.

I have to throw away too much food from my take home bags after eating out.

I'm gaining weight from eating out too much.

I have a hard time getting my selfie shots to come out in focus with my iPhone 5.

Frankly, what post on the forum doesn't qualify as a 1st world problem? Please someone help me understand.

"Should I buy two gold models, or one Platinum?"

Note: I would debate this too if it were applicable, and I hope I have this "problem" one day!

I was wearing my Sub and someone complimented me on my nice Invicta.....okay, maybe not the right thread, but a true story nonetheless. I was so stunned, I just said Thanks.

I can't decide which Patek to buy next, blue dial 5980 to match my new car or wait for the new 5990 so I know what time it is when I'm in France on vacation.

I just can't live with a watch that has no date complication.

It's just too much trouble to fish my smartphone out of my pocket fifty times a day to check date.

How to properly set every single calendar features on my manual-wound Patek 5270 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph after it stopped running because I was on vacation and couldn't wind it for 3 weeks?

Great thread

I can't decide which private island i want to buy that would go better with a platona. It was far easier picking a jet out..
