I'm too busy looking for ones that I enjoy. I have yet to look for one that will stop me from enjoying any others.

No I don't mean looking for one that will stop the itch because that will never happen as planned. What I meant was more of a natural process in that you had the itch so you bought and you bought and out of no where in the process of getting yet another one it curbed your urge to get another one for the time being.

Just another way of saying I have no intention of curing the itch at this point in time.

This has scratched any itch I had for around a year now. No sign of that changing in the near future...

I think some of you go it right, its a combination of the last watch AND the price increase that sort of curbed my itch so far!

I think my itch will stop when I buy myself a DD.

But I don't think it will go away for good.

My last purchase was a Daytona SS white face. Since then, I've put the "itch monster" to rest. Lol!....but I'm sure it will raise it's ugly head in the future.

my itch did not disappear with the acquisition of my sub-c it just toned down a bit. now i know that sooner or later i'll buy the next thing. right now i find myself browsing the pams.....

not being interested in complications and dress watches also helps a lot.

Always had an itch. Scratched one and a new one appears...

Is that normal?

I had the "itch" for a Sub for years after purchasing my first and most favorite of all Rolexes, the Pepsi GMT Master II. Then when they released the Sub-C.... it sent me over the edge. I wear it so much I actually feel guilty for not wearing some of my other watches.

No cure per se, but the rising prices are helping me to slow down my purchases for sure.
