Very nice first! Congrats on not wasting your money on junk watches.

You have just bought something you can wear for life and it will probably appreciate in value, more so than a car

I bought my first Rolex this past week, and got the one that I've had my eye on for a while due to it's classic, understated look that goes with anything....a white OP. Thats the only one I've wanted so I was happy to get a great all around watch. Done. Er not so much. Now I find myself constantly eyeing up several other models. I gotta stay away from this forum. I'll never look at an AD the same again :(.

First - Congrats on your first Rolex. It's a beauty.

Second (and most important) - Leave! Sign off NOW and never return! You'll thank me later. For if you stay here, you'll be hooked, obsessed, and forever on the hunt for 'that next Rolex'.

Third - See 'Second' above.

Fourth - If you stay (and mind you, you've been warned), ENJOY! Great forum, great folks, great info, beautiful watches.

You broke your cherry. Now get ready to continue to want more. I had many luxury watches and thought I was satisfied. Bought my first Rolex and within 2 months I had sold one and bought two. I was addicted and only stopped once available funds dried up. Since then I have realized it's nice to enjoy what you have and slowly collect pieces you like over time. I now have a 1yr rule between Rolex's. Gives me time to enjoy what I have and look forward to the hunt/search for the next one. I have not set a limit yet on total, but I would think around 7 (1 for everyday of week) would be a nice number.
