What's the matter with me? Am I crazy?

I have owned 4 Rolexes in the past" 16233 Datejust,114270 Explorer 1. 14060M and 16610 and also 4 Marcelo Nettuno 3 Sub homages.
I have sold every one within a year. Dont ask me why..I just have...and after recently selling my 166120 sub I knew I had made a bad decision. So after much pleading with my long sufffering wife she agreed to let me buy one more watch..and this definitely had to be the last one. I had to sign a contract promising never to sell this last Rolex on the threat of divorce!!

What did I buy???
here it is


a "V" SERIES COSC 14060m AS NEW
I am over the moon..
What do you think? Am I crazy??

Nothing wrong with buy and sell. We've all been there, done that.

Thanks Guys...I was feeling pretty stupid....and now I realise how close I was to never again having a Rolex on my wrist.
I'm pretty lucky really. This one is definitely a keeper.

Do not worry the madness is very wide spread. My daughter thinks I am crazy and maybe I am. I buy one watch and I am looking for the next before the new wears off of it. If I won the lottery it would not be pretty.

I had to sign the same contract with my wife last month, but I never got it notorized.

I thought the nice thing about this hobby was that the wife couldn't tell if I was wearing a new watch or an old one...

Great watch and good choice. Why would you ever flip this watch? Except to own an Explorer 42 of course. Lol
