Since 10 days i did not wear my Rolex watch, i just keep it in the box, and a crazy thought in my mind tell me to sale the watch and all the Rolex Accessories that i have.

I really have no problem with my watch and i don't need to sale it, but i don't know why this crazy thought across to my mind

Not my watch. Buying and modifying sports cars? Yes....

I am just about to start

SPACE-DWELLER · 7 September 2012, 05:23 PM

When I think of the upcoming service of my SS Daytona ( ~ 1,200 USD), I can't sleep!

toph · 7 September 2012, 06:03 PM

I could never be watch less
Cheers

travisb · 7 September 2012, 06:15 PM

Couldn't do it and don't want to think about it.

This is a good reason to quit

gregdolley · 7 September 2012, 06:33 PM

After I get my next (and ultimate) grail - the RG Daytona - I'm going to lay low for a while. But quit altogether - never really thought about it. I always plan on making more money, so probably a portion of my excess cash will go to watches, but I definitely won't go overboard. I'm pretty conservative about spending money.

mjclark32 · 7 September 2012, 08:52 PM

I've certainly stopped buying due to other responsibilities, got married/bought a house-renovations/landscaping all in the past 6 months, but I don't think I'll ever stop for good.

Monte Cristo · 7 September 2012, 08:58 PM

I quit trying to quit a long time ago...

I've thought about selling my whole collection once and get myself one and only Patek Philippe or Jaeger-Lecoultre in gold...

...Believe me, taking a look at their prices helps a man to sober up! Needless to say I've changed my mind!

In all seriousness I'm not thinking about selling my DJ anytime soon.

Quit --> regret --> buy again --> then quit --> then buy again

Once you own Rolex never you can quit

vette boy 52 · 7 September 2012, 09:34 PM

DO NOT do it you WILL regret it. Every time I have traded, sold, or given one of mine to a friend I have totally regretted it. But giving one to my best friend was the least painful.

mlotus95 · 7 September 2012, 09:40 PM

personally i think it depends on what model you have.

sdg1871 · 7 September 2012, 09:43 PM

Not gonna do it.

Feras · 7 September 2012, 09:43 PM

I had this feeling about my Omega smp when i bought my first Rolex and i sold it because i bought something superior but i wont sell a watch for something less or to stay naked

This is just crazy talk. Step away from the Rolex,take a few deep breaths and you will come to your senses.

bewithabob · 7 September 2012, 10:33 PM

I can quit drinking coffee. I quit buying products with High fructose corn syrup. But I will never quit wearing a ROLEX.

~JJ · 7 September 2012, 10:37 PM

Sounds like there may be more reasons driving these thoughts... only for you to know and consider. Either way, you have a great time piece, or you can always get another.

Canadianjam2 · 8 September 2012, 02:31 AM

masterserg · 8 September 2012, 02:32 AM

Nope

GradyPhilpott · 8 September 2012, 02:59 AM

My watches are a source of pleasure for me and I have no need to sell them at this time, so they will stay with me.

I think I'm done buying new watches, as I'm very pleased with the ones I have and I do have other interests.

I can't even imagine not wearing a watch, having worn one or another for over fifty years.

So no, I won't be "quitting."

joe100 · 8 September 2012, 03:42 AM

If that's a thought you might not be a true enthusiast. I could never be without a watch.

Joey_V · 8 September 2012, 03:59 AM

Quitting... that's unpossible (ala Ralph from the Simpsons).

Solo118 · 8 September 2012, 04:07 AM

No way, I need Rolex in my life. I will always be on the hunt, and it excites me to be honest. I am not in a point in my life where I can afford a ton of watches to rotate, but I always want to have one "beater" and one "classy" Rolex in my posession at all times.

A little off topic, I did give up on jewelry. I used to wear a nice gold bracelet and necklace but recently I got sick of the look. I had them melted, and now wear a nice leather bracelet and no necklace.

mfnj · 8 September 2012, 04:13 AM

I kept on looking at my empty wrist and felt unbalanced. Lasted 2 days! The service cost issue is well taken!
