Moderators - please ban me!

Hello. My name is Kobayashi. I'm a Rolexaholic and I need help!

I've purchased 3 Rolex's in 3 weeks and now I'm looking at a 4th! Can someone please tell DavidSW to stop advertising! Just kidding :).

I just missed another great deal today because I was busy asking questions instead of buying. Maybe that's a good thing! Still on the search for a Sub. Cheers!

With all my respect ,what s your drive to buy so many watches within so short period of time?maybe it s just me but if i buy a nice piece i love to enjoy it long and not look after other acqusitions.
Just curious.
Thanks

I once bought a few just before a price increase. Good a rationalization as any.

I like this guy Kobayashi.......he subscribes to the "he who dies w/ the most watches wins" theory!
Congrats on your fleet acquisitions.

I've tried quitting myself many times; just cant do it. This year alone I bought and flipped about 10 rolexes and as of today have kept it at a low 4.
At the end of the day, its a good problem to have. We are blessed to be able to wear the watches we love on our wrists.

Buying 3 Rolex qualifies your 4th free.

If not at least jump the queue for a SS Daytona.

Ha. That's pretty wild. I've tried to thin down my small collection. I find that I appreciate and enjoy having a couple vs having many.
