For the same price I paid, if I was willing to throw in my Breitling chronomat 2000, the guy was going to let me walk out with an unworn Daytona. I was really tempted but I like my Breitling too much to part with it.

The feeling your experiencing now is called the Dragon.... all of us here are stuck constantly chasing, enjoy it!

Chasing the dragon
This term is a bit more complicated than it seems. It starts when you have your first, the world is peaceful, everything is perfect, you're numb, but in the best way possible. But, soon, it starts wearing off. Fast. Your mind races, you're pulled out of your dream world. You crave it more and more, wanting to feel the same way as you did on your first. You go to the dealer and buy more. Still feels good, but not as good as first time. You go and buy more. Closer, but not quite there. You're stuck, you don't know what to do. You want to go back to that little dream world and stay forever, but your body is already developing a tolerance. You panic. You use all your money to buy more and more and more, but still, not the same as that first time. You realize that you have no more money, so you start selling your things, pawning whatever could get you that next one. Still, nothing compared to what you had on that first, magical time. So, you're broke and own nothing. But you don't care, all you care about is getting back to the first. You start stealing, doing "favors", whatever gets you the money for the attempt. Your life becomes a living hell, all in search of a repeat of the first. That's chasing the dragon.

Very nice. When you have free time, search the threads for cyclops magnification. Sit back and enjoy the rolex ocd.

Congrats! Welcome to the forum and the club.

Wear it in good health.
