If his justifications were not so close to home that would be funny.

That actually scared me. It's plain to see that it's all down hill for me from here on in.

My Symptoms
* Constantly checking for accuracy on atomic clock website.
* Constantly cleaning for any smudges or water spots on it. * Constantly drooling on it even while on the potty (that's the only time I discovered the mystery Breitling "B"  ).* Constantly overprotecting it against any potential scratches by wearing a wristband over it. * Constantly checking watch forums or websites to satisfy my itch.

Ditto
don't forget, checking in on TRF many times a day. Admiring other peoples watches. Watching TV and noticing what watches they are wearing...

In Canada we have RRSP's ( similar to IRA's in the US)
But for me, mine stands for Rolex Replacement Savings Plan.

Thanks for the link Padi - I have not read that site for eons it seems......when I first started buying the expensive watches, I came across that site, read about his journey, and thought "I'll never get it that bad....."
Oh was I wrong.......I don't have that many watches (by a long stretch) but it's only because I don't have the money.......
