How many of you still get that feeling when you look down at yor wrist that says "I can't believe it. I actually own a Rolex." I got my first, and likely only, three months ago and still feel that way when I look down at my wrist and see my DJ II looking back at me.

You got bitten by the Rolex bug! Yep - every time I wind my watch and put it on is a special moment for me.

It's been a long time since I felt the tingle but I still feel fortunate to be able to play in this crazy hobby.

Hey it never goes away for me - been 12 years since my first. Have had many more since, never more than 3 at a time, and back down to 1 right now. Hope you'll get the chance for more.

I haven't owned one that long, but that feeling has yet to go away for me.

Still think that one year later. Getting the urge to get a newer one or better still another. Never ever regretted getting one & its gone up around £500 which is unbelievable.
