I don't know how you guys do it, but it's my first time dealing with being separated from my Rolex!

I had noticed that my Milgauss power reserve was about 30 hours with a full wind and active wearing (my job requires me to move my hands alot). It kind of bugged me because I just bought it 3 months ago preowned from Tourneau (yes, I know...). Finally last week the spring bar popped out of one of the links and I took it back for them to loctite it back. After some talking to the service advisor I decided for them to send it back to their repair center in Las Vegas. Apparently there's Tourneau NY and LV centers for them to send it to.

It's been a week and the wait is killing me! How do you guys cope with sending it in to RSC and other places for 4-6 weeks?

I can easily see how one would end up with a second Rolex in that time period!

It really is the perfect rationale to get a second one.

You'll miss it no matter what because it's the one that is gone, but having more than one helps greatly.

threemonkeys · 8 May 2012, 02:36 AM

Be strong, David. Be strong. Please know that we are here for you in you time of need. I went without my GMT for four days a few months back. Yes, it was pure He!!. But,hopefully, this painful journed will end sooner than you expect and life will be good again.

mtrunner · 8 May 2012, 02:38 AM

You have to have multiple in the rotation just in case you need to part with one for a period of time! Time for you second.

A.J.R. · 8 May 2012, 02:40 AM

Have two Rolexs

Hazelnut · 8 May 2012, 02:51 AM

Thanks guys. I see by the majority of the responses that hanging out here is going to give my bank account a beating. Haha.

Steven79 · 8 May 2012, 02:57 AM

Yep, have more than one.

HRV · 8 May 2012, 03:00 AM

The question is ....what would you go for as # 2?

In this short week of insanity I already decided it would be a GMT IIc! Oh...this is a slippery slope I'm going down on....

kilyung · 8 May 2012, 03:15 AM

How do I deal with separation? Badly. Ergo I have lots of other watches in rotation so it feels like the missing piece is just tucked away at the bank.

I have a Citizen, Seiko and Movado to wear in the meantime but this is the first time I'm having withdrawls!

roger0770 · 8 May 2012, 03:22 AM

most people here have a second watch to fill the void.

perfect excuse to get another rolex, don't you think?

Peppers90 · 8 May 2012, 03:28 AM

Buy another! That's what I did ;)

Chipmunk · 8 May 2012, 03:28 AM

Call Dr. DavidSW.....he can cure Rolex separation anxiety.

Hairdude1 · 8 May 2012, 03:30 AM

Time to find a second!

psd1966 · 8 May 2012, 03:43 AM

Once you have the bug for a second though, it can lead to a third, maybe a fourth.... and so on!!

Have fun and enjoy the ride...

LightOnAHill · 8 May 2012, 03:47 AM

I put on a tissot

and then glance down at it...

but remember the rolex . . .

Like anything in life - always have a backup!

mdesa · 8 May 2012, 11:29 AM

I'm going through the same thing, man! my Sub has been at RSC for 10 days, replacing the crystal! I just got it 3 months ago as well, and I miss it terribly.
When i send it in for a full service in a few years, I will defanately have a second Rolex!

JohnAndrew · 8 May 2012, 12:12 PM

Not very well.
