You know you might have a problem when you know how to pronounce Jacek's name and have him in your favorite contacts.

Yes. Stop now, refuse the mailman, go pickup up golf, far less addicting.

You know you have a problem when you have to wait to take a photo of the watch on your wrist, so that the hands move into just the right position, because you are measuring the timekeeping to the second and don't want to have to do that over again by resetting the watch...
But, hey, I'm OK!

I am guilty of this! Gets a bit awkward when people asks to see updated photos of the family, whip out the phone and the first 30 recent photos are all watchporn...

...you jump to a porn site when your wife walks into the room just so she won't catch you on "that stupid watch site" again.

Great thread, Springer!
You know you might have a problem when you upgraded from a 5-watch storage box to a 10-watch box, and now it's too small. |

Chaps
I sometime worry that my brain may be corroding or that I am becoming eccentric or whatever. I bought my first Rolex 15 months ago and I just slapped it on and just plain wore it and never once worried about it. I then bought a Sub and used it when splashing about in the sea and finally bought a Freccione Explorer and scratched the plexi when down a cave. I have got some Polywatch on order and when it arrives, I shall polish the scratch out and its job done. What is the point of buying something and then worrying about it. It's the sure way to the local asylum. Regards Mick |

..... When your wife who doesn't care for watches at all has learned the difference between polished and unpolished and your five year old already knows what makes a watch qualify as vintage.

You know you may have a problem when you wake up at 4:45pst to call Geneva in hopes that someone at Rolex HQ can tell you if the case back on the watch you just bought was date stamped originally and changed by Rolex or just not date stamped at all. Oh, and when you wife asks you where you are going you tell her that you forgot to turn off you car lights.

If I scratch it, so what, I shall put it in for a service in 5 years time and it will come back as new, all fully refurbished and as collectible as ever. In the mean time I have enjoyed wearing it as it was intended to be and I don't have ulcers worrying about it. I accept that there is no right or wrong answer here but I do find it rather sad that someone buys something and then worries about it all the time. Just what is the point of that. Rolex hit the map when two men, wearing a Rolex, climbed up Everest. That is what a Rolex is designed to do and if it attracts the odd scratch, just relax and live with it until the next service.

When you take one of the first pictures of your new baby girl and it's a wrist shot of the watch you will give her 25 years from now.

When someone buys a 40 year old watch, they will put up with knocks and dents as it is part of the watches history. If you want an immaculate watch, don't wear it and keep it in a safe. I can understand you wanting to look after a watch but when it starts to worry you, then it is time to do something else. Mick |

You might have a problem when you bring home a new Rolex and instead of being impressed your kids ask why the have to it ramen noodles again.
OK that didn't really happen. But, when I was in college, my buddy stopped eating at the cafeteria and went on a rice and ramen noodles diet to save money and buy watches. He went from 140lb to 120lb. |

I have 3 Rolexes, a JLC and an Omega. You may call me a wearer but my wife calls me a collector. I will concede one point, I molly coddle the JLC because it is delicate and I only wear it perhaps one or two evenings a year. Regards Mick |

You know you have a problem when your wife asks how many shoes and holidays she could buy if you sold all the watches in your forum signature.
