Lucky 7

I joined this forum about two months ago and before that I never owned a nice watch. After becoming completely obsessed with TRF I am now up to 7 BNIB Rolex watches. I just took delivery of my new black Sub C today and already decided I want a 16610LV too. So naturally I started calling AD's and after a good part of the day I found one. I think I need counseling more than ever right now. This is a widespread and growing disease you guys have caused. I will post some pics of my growing collection soon, please help me stop!

Congrats on the 16610LV. Great watch, I have one too.

Hey one question, have you figured out what your next watch is going to be yet?

Great question, I would really like to find a BNIB GMT 16710 with a 3186 movement, but it seems impossible to find one from an AD. I am trying find it from an AD so I can have my name on the warranty card, my own issues!

This is an intervention.......SLOW DOWN!

Seriously though, take some time to get to know the watches you already have.

I'll get some group pictures next week. I sent my Sub C out yesterday to get the crystal changed to a non cyclops. I'm getting the new LV tomorrow and will be sending it out for the same. Should have both back by the end of next week, so I can take some group photos. I can't wait to see them all together.

Victor, you are the MAN! Now if you start to get duplicates of your collection, so as to keep one model pristine, one to wear... then you have a real problem. Uh, you haven't thought about that, have you??
