Is there such a thing called Rolex fever

I thought I was comming down with some kinda bug, but I truthfully believe everytime I see a picture of that green Sub {Hulk} my pulse quickens and I start getting weak knees.
I aint been but a couple weeks since I bought a GMT, I dont need another Watch ? must just be some virus of some sort.
Merry Christmas Folks & A Happy Prosperous New Year

Yes!! It is a bug but turns into a virus as you look into and add other brands to your collection it's a good virus tho.

For me, the DD Meteorite got into my brain and lit up a trail of fire I could feel itching and scratching, burning into my inner atmosphere until I finally went out and got the darn thing, and then it transformed into a supernova of joy and happiness, bursting into an overall sensation of timelessness that could be translated as, "Anyone need the time? I have the time if you need it. Time anyone? Oh, and I have the day and date, too. Right here on my mesmerizing wrist."

Bottom line is you go half crazed until you get it, then full crazed for a while after you get it. Your symptoms may vary slightly.

A little too much LSD back in the 60s, Bruce?

Absolutely there is. Man...I've been oggling over a few other watches. And since I can afford them...it hurts to restrain from getting them. And now...the Rose/Chocolate DD and SkyDweller, which are out of my current reach, are Siiiiiiiiiiiiinging to me. UGH!!!!!!!

Yes there is and I can tell you there is no pill for that. My wife has made me spend a lot of money on therapy hoping they could find one. Thankfully, there is no cure. Lol
