How soon after buying a new watch do you find yourself browing the 'classifieds'?
Is it Just me ?
Granted my 'Watch fund' has taken a little hit with the recent new addition of the YMII... But less than one week, and I'm already 'just looking'.... Does anyone else do this? -- or do most not feel any need to look after a new addition? Please tell me I'm not alone... |

I feel if I really like the new watch, I don't open the classifieds. If I am "iffy" on it, I do browse quicker.

Just got a new Hulk this past Saturday and still go to the classifieds to check them out.
Even though I am married, I still glance at other women. Is that okay?? |

The new watch has no bearing on looking for another one, its an illness.

For me it's like fishing. Even if I just caught one, I always want to cast my line again right away.

That's the reason I joined TRF, so I know I'm not alone in this addiction. And to look in the classifieds!
