Hi from Chesapeake

Hi fellas,

what an outstanding forum, can't stop reading and watching all the beautiful watches...

I'm already infected with the Rolex-Bug since a couple of years. Before I owned an old (military) HEUER flying chrono (before the days they merged with TAG), an old TUDOR Day Date from the mid/late 70s and a SINN D-1 Space-Chronograph. Unfortunately I sold all of them to make my dream come true: my first Rolex.
I ended up with a 14060M, K-series, and I still love it.
I was tempted two weeks ago to sell it/trade it in for a new GMT IIc, but the AD told me that it seems that Rolex is not going to produce that watch anymore - by the way, is that true?? - so I intended to keep my Sub and purchased the GMT IIc and a mid-size oyster perpetual for my wife (just to clear the skies).
Now we have 3 Rolex, 1 Breitling, 1 Tudor and a Tag Heuer.

I'm afraid that the "R-Bug" starts growing since I'm on that forum and I am already tempted to sell my Breitling Skyland Avenger (purchased in Aug 08) for a TOG. Feeling like a drug-addict...

Cheers,

JB

Thanks for looking, JB
