Quit?.....I haven't started yet!
In all seriousness, as long as TRF is around, it will be difficult for me to quit. |

I once was an avid collector of cars, and had everything from GTC, to a 360... I gave up collecting cars when I realized how much money I was dumping into upkeep and insurance and sold em off. I gave up modifying cars, when I realized that a modified car has a million times more problems than a stock car and zero resale.
The thing I love about watches, is I don't lose my shirt if I change my mind, they're easier to sell than cars and easier to buy. That and that is is portable artwork IMHO. I gave up collecting 2 years ago and sold off my entire collection. But everytime I try to get out... they PULL me back in! |

there was a pretty good condo for sale at a good price,
a family friend was willing to sell, I was considering to sell a few watches and buy it for 280k less than his marketed price @ 720k put a down pay of 300k and finish paying it off in an year or so. then flip it for 700k sounded like a beneficial plan at the time so i was considering calling quits and just buy the condo keep only a few selected watches maybe 3 (suit wear/daily wear/vacational) but when my gf pointed out most likely i'd start all over again on collecting and how long it'd take me. i changed my mind lol |

No! Take a deep breath Emad. Sometimes with this Rolex sickness in our minds, we really don't know what is happening to us. It's just one symptom of the disease. Put your watch back on immediately, forget about the sale and you will feel better instantly.

Will always wear a watch, but think about quitting the buying habit: after every new purchase
