I have a sickness

I can't believe I came into this forum one month ago to research a new submariner for my 50th birthday… Which I am finally able to complete the purchase on Monday

And in that interim time, 250 posts, and I don't know how many man hours later, I have now managed to purchase three watches before my sub. This is a sickness
