"My AP gains six seconds a day while my buddy's only gains three....I feel like I got ripped off"

[Perpetual Spirit]

The bracelet on my Day-Date may stretch prematurely because I clap too much at the polo matches.

[Steel28]

can't decide between diamonds vs no diamonds dials

[MortgageGuy]

Love this thread...

1. My rehaut engraving doesn't line up perfectly on my $10k watch
2. When I spend my days looking at my $100k watch collection under a loupe I notice imperfections.

[dstopsie]

I feel naked, oh I mean my arm feels naked because I shipped my Rolex off for a trade + cash transaction and I don't have another Rolex to wear. I have a Cartier I could wear until my new "incoming" arrives. But that just wouldn't feel right. Plus what if my arm rejects the Cartier and then has to have therapy to get over the shock that I put something else on it other than a Rolex.

Ugh. What is a girl to do....

5) The Rolex bezel frays the cuffs on my tailored shirt.

Can't help I don't sweat the small stuff, I'm decisive and not a complainer

"I have only had it a month and my new Deep Sea got a scratch on the case. It's not too obvious, but I can see it very clearly with a loupe...what should I do?"

[Jake B]

I really need to have a larger safe installed, because every time I want to get one of my other Rolex out of the handmade 20 space cherry wood watch display box, I have to go through the hassle of disturbing my gold collection and I find myself just wearing the same old Submariner instead.

I need a bigger warehouse to store my vintage car collection.

I have to throw away too much food from my take home bags after eating out.

I'm gaining weight from eating out too much.

I have a hard time getting my selfie shots to come out in focus with my iPhone 5.

Frankly, what post on the forum doesn't qualify as a 1st world problem? Please someone help me understand.

I have a gold allergy, should I get the platinum DDII or Platona? I need to have some precious metal in my collection.

Also, had to go to Morton's for mother's day as Mastro's was booked solid. It was rather unfortunate as we really like the bacon wrapped scallops at Mastro's.

Yup. Lasted about a month; was on here a few months back.

PM me if you still can't place her.

[jjnd08]

"Should I buy two gold models, or one Platinum?"

Note: I would debate this too if it were applicable, and I hope I have this "problem" one day!

Took a bath and forgot to take off my Sub and now I'm freaking out.

I see what you did there.

[locutus49]

I was wearing my Sub and someone complimented me on my nice Invicta.....okay, maybe not the right thread, but a true story nonetheless. I was so stunned, I just said Thanks.

[martinr]

I can't decide which Patek to buy next, blue dial 5980 to match my new car or wait for the new 5990 so I know what time it is when I'm in France on vacation.

[GradyPhilpott]

I just can't live with a watch that has no date complication.

It's just too much trouble to fish my smartphone out of my pocket fifty times a day to check date.

[A.Sharp]

Don't get me started. running both TWC and Fios right now (don't ask why long story) and trying to figure out which to cancel.

[Fiery]

How to properly set every single calendar features on my manual-wound Patek 5270 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph after it stopped running because I was on vacation and couldn't wind it for 3 weeks?

Great thread

"Single watch owners... How do they do it!?"

[james1787]

I can't decide which private island i want to buy that would go better with a platona. It was far easier picking a jet out..

[illiguy]

The plastic stickers on my BNIB safe queen are starting to peel at the corners.

[Roll the Lex]

Ugh... I can't eat any of this, don't they have any fair-trade, locally grown, organic food produced by a co-op that donates 10% of all profits to supporting LGBT farmers in South America?
