That's why I don't wanna buy Platimum Daytona because it would consume up all the funds that I could spend on a few cool watches.

Yes. The only cure I have found is staying off of TRF.

If money were no object I'd probably have a new watch every week.

While I was picking up my last watch at the AD, they were in the back getting the box and papers. I decided to try on my next watch! I am not normal!

Right after it is sized, it is time to begin a new search. The thrill of the chase:)

Welcome to the club. I'm a founding member. Lost a couple of gold rolexes, I'm sure with all the flipping I've done. Just gotta buy right.
