Addiction...Feeling the Thirst

Having recently bought a YG DJ and already owning a TT Blue Sub you would think I would be satisified. So why am I still looking at other Rolex for sale? Damn this, I need rehab.....or a better paid job

that's the danger of this... you start out with 1, months later you have 3, 4 or 10

Same here...since I bought my first Rolex a GMTC in April I'm thinking watches all day long!!
Never had this problem with my Breitlings...I really got hooked after I bought my GMT and think there must be something special with that Rolex brand!!
I can't stop looking and thinking about the 116610LV the green Sub looks just awesome and hope to buy one very soon.

I just purchased my first rolex a TT DJ and now I'm looking at a SS Sub. I also might be in the market for a divorce lawyer. The wife just can't see spending that amount on a watch. But a kitchen renovation with all new appliances is ok in her book because it adds value to the house. She got her kitchen & I got my DJ. Now how do I get my Sub?

I've got the bug too, I got my 1st one a SS Sub in 1994 when I was 14 which I sold to my brother to fund my current TT Blue Sub.

I've now convinced myself that I ABSOLUTELY NEED a GMT IIc, 'RED' Sub and an IWC Big Pilot, does anyone have the lotto numbers for this weekend?!

Me TOO!!... I was just wearing my sub and looked at the mirror and decided i need a white face watch. Something a bit more sparkly what did i immediately think of. Why a white faced Daytona! Did some net worth calculations and decided F*^& it i can afford it i'm going to try and finagle with my AD since i already bought a sub off of him if he will sell it to me at the standard discount he gave me for the sub. It's a shot in the dark but if he says yes i will jump. I'm even going to beg and say PLEASE give it to me at that price. This is dangerous..... Or wait for the new explorer II but i would like something a bit more dressy.

Me, too except now I'm wondering how much I'll enjoy the expense of doing maintenance on all of them! DOH! Lotsa $$$$$! That is what's making me think about down sizing again.

Dont beg...just put a payment down and slowly pay it off. Untill you do you will know that your white dial is sitting safely in the vault waiting for you to pick it up....My AD has done this for me 4 times now...this way you have your watch and you can spread the payments out..

I think three Rolex watches will help the symptoms subside. When I have any less than that in my collection, I start to have mild tremors.

Well I bought my first Rolex in September, a TT DJII. In November I just had to have the LV Sub. Last week my AD had a private event and I fell in love with the green crystal Milgauss. So, since September I have purchased three Rolexes. I'm my AD's newest best friend. Yes, these watches are addictive.
