After having my 114060 Sub for 2 weeks now, I am still in love. Every time I look at I smile and I never want it to leave my wrist.

That being said, I do have a few other watches (mainly Japanese divers, dress watches, etc) and I simply don't like wearing them anymore. I don't want to become a "one watch" kind of guy but I just don't get the same feeling when I'm not wearing my Rolex.

Geeze, even saying "my Rolex" makes me feel happy, am I simply still in the honeymoon phase with my new Sub or am I ruined for life?

You're ruined for life just like the rest of us.

Bisquitlips · 16 February 2016, 10:32 AM

Yup! A snob for sure! Enjoy your new designation in life!

So satisfying!

roadie1 · 16 February 2016, 10:32 AM

Dump your old ones! You'll never go back!

LVSubmariner · 16 February 2016, 10:33 AM

Why wear anything else when you have the best? After my 114060 sub I bought a new white Daytona and now I'm finished. I'm perfectly content with my two watch collection

gtnator · 16 February 2016, 10:33 AM

Yup, it's over. Consider this just your FIRST Rolex.

Ruined....but enjoy the honeymoon .......until the next one catches your eye.....

Bafflingbs · 16 February 2016, 10:34 AM

I think WE are ruined for life. I've got a beautiful Tag Heuer, that I may never where again

Simply wear the Sub and sell everything else. Never take it off and be that guy with a classic watch that has dings and scratches that all tell a story.

CDNWatchNut · 16 February 2016, 10:41 AM

Nothing to be afraid of, embrace the snobbery, haha....Just don't convey that impression to others!

silverbullet818 · 16 February 2016, 10:45 AM

Panerai is my mistress and I sneak off with them too. They are awesome.

Then there are those than have PP / AP and VC. All are worthy of wrist time too.

AK797 · 16 February 2016, 10:49 AM

It's all part of the circle of WIS life, just stay away from the other sub-forums...

chloebear · 16 February 2016, 10:52 AM

I can relate. I've had "my Rolex" for about 9 months and I will very occasionally wear one of my other watches. They never make it past lunch. I will run home and swap it out. The one thing I really notice is how cheap the clasps seem in my non-Rolex watches.

Hahaha... you sure about that?

blue lion · 16 February 2016, 11:12 AM

I owned other watches, nothing even close in price to a Rolex. Once I got my first Rolex I sold the others to help finance my second Rolex. There are other good watches out there but mine weren't getting any wrist time.

Perfectly normal...once you have a good watch on your wrist, others just don't cut it.

tkerrmd · 16 February 2016, 11:17 AM

Rolex is a slippery slope!

superdog · 16 February 2016, 11:23 AM

Sigh.

It's a great watch.

But it's a watch. Nothing to be a snob about.

I know I won't make friends from this comment, but these types of comments make me enjoy my omega and jaeger watches that much more.

TimeRookie · 16 February 2016, 11:26 AM

I wore my Omega for a day, (12hrs), last week. Nice watch. I should sell it. I wanted my BLNR on the whole time... Damn Rolex are like a virus.... I know I will keep my Omega though. It really is a nice watch.

lak · 16 February 2016, 11:27 AM

I bought my first Rolex 4-5 years ago. In love with it everyday. Everything is fine until recently have a colleague buying a Rolex and I started to look at them again. From Rolex.com to an AD store, I know i put myself in trouble again (in a good way). And last week I put deposit on a Dayjust ll...

Depends on why you only want to wear the Rolex...the answer will tell you if you're a snob or not.

seand442 · 16 February 2016, 11:48 AM

Not a snob. I prefer aficionado. Enjoy the sub.

albmich · 16 February 2016, 11:50 AM

Snob is fine. Embrace it

KNY · 16 February 2016, 12:03 PM

I thought I could have just one. I still have just one, but I'm already looking for the next one... and maybe the next one!

Dashimmy · 16 February 2016, 12:20 PM

Snob? Just wait till you graduate up to a PM model! You'll never wear any thing else! Congrats on the Sub and enjoy the WIS ride!!!

lain09 · 16 February 2016, 12:24 PM

I still smile when I look at my 114060 I picked up last week.
