Where does it end?

I stopped into my AD this afternoon to get my bracelet adjusted. There was a guy in there buying a TT T-O-G with gray dial and gold markers on the new, heavy oyster bracelet this watch was gorgeous
I started thinking to myself, I just got my GMT. I've wanted this watch for a long time and finally got it. You would think I'd be content and not even think about another watch for a good while. Instead I wanted almost every watch I saw. I want a ND Sub, Exp 1, white dial Exp II, SS T-O-G and a YM. I actually walked out of there agonizing over whether I wanted a 14060m or a 114270 by the summer. The only reason I've narrowed it down to these two is because they cost so much less than the others.
This is sicking, this eventually has to stop............Right?:

Not a chance it will end.

An end? Probably not. But hey, at least you found the right place to hang out at.

I find myself too wondering what will be next. It is just sick, but in such a good way.

My friend, you have just learned the secret. There is no end to this crazy addiction. If you read the many threads on this subject before you bought the GMT, you would have learned that this addiction is incurable, chronic, and will not lie dormant. You have only yourself to blame.

We warn people who lurk before joining - DO NOT BUY YOUR FIRST ROLEX. It will not be your last.

And this addiction will adversely affect any retirement plans you might have.

Sorry, CJ, but you are officially hooked.
