Hi,
i got my first Rolex, a Sub C LV just two weeks ago and then suddenly 2 days ago I gave in and got the GMT C. I dont know whats happened to me, I suddenly have got the Rolex bug. Does this pass or is it just the beginning?

By the way this forum is great, really interesting and you seem like a friendly bunch

You merely have a case of rolexitus. when you have purchased more watches than you have limbs then that is something to worry about.

Welcome to TRF and congrats!! You are on a roll!!

jay_man2 · 5 June 2011, 11:06 PM

Me too with the Rolex bug. In the last few weeks I've gotten two Subs - a ceramic black dial SS and a ceramic blue dial TT. That solved the problem of which one to get.

yessir69 · 5 June 2011, 11:09 PM

No. It doesn't end. But it sure is fun!

That was part of it. I loved the green LV but I also knew I should be getting the GMT, so the obvious answer is to get em both!

Thanks for the welcome

I was in your shoes 2 months ago, it will never stop! Good luck with the addiction, it gets really expensive!

Welcome to Trf. You've got great taste. Enjoy!!

You'll settle in after about ten years or ten flips whatever comes first. Hold on and Enjoy the ride!

The bug passes when you've run out of money and/or body parts to sell on Ebay.

kilyung · 6 June 2011, 01:12 AM

Or you're threatened with emasculation by your SO.

Dickson Lim · 6 June 2011, 01:14 AM

You will keep telling yourself this is the last watch, the last last watch, the last last last watch, the last...last...watch! =)

There's no cure for this disease but it's a fun one to have.

sea-dweller · 6 June 2011, 01:44 AM

Welcome and congrats!

cinch · 6 June 2011, 02:08 AM

I was also wondering. Im not keen on the Daytona, but it appears to be the ulimate Rolex for many. Is this appreciation for its looks, history or the fact that its hard to get hold off and do you think I'll hanker for it over time?

johnbeth · 6 June 2011, 02:21 AM

Art 1 · 6 June 2011, 02:25 AM

Lots of guys do that, I did too. Bought my second one about a month after the first.

Puffy · 6 June 2011, 04:01 AM

Joey_V · 6 June 2011, 04:07 AM

Honestly, I think this forum causes as much pain as it does joy. Give in to the disease!!

Welcome, it is only down hill from here

nauticajoe · 6 June 2011, 04:31 AM

Welcome to the madness! Congrats on your acquisitions!!

Darlinboy · 6 June 2011, 04:58 AM

The bug passes,you just need a few more!

boogiebot · 6 June 2011, 05:05 AM

welcome to TRF. great watches you now own. and im sure you will add more in the near future.

the only thing this bug will hurt is your bank account....but hey money was made to be spent.

wot_fan · 6 June 2011, 05:31 AM

Same thing happened to me. I bought my first, an OP, at the end of April. In less than 2 weeks I bought a SubC. Now I am saving for a Pepsi GMT II and doing my best to ignore 0% financing offers
