I love Rolexes and if I had the money would buy most of them (sorry, 2016 Air King).

Is anyone actually addicted to these watches? Like..bought so many and can't stop? New releases come out and they HAVE to have it? I think we joke around that we are all addicts, but I'm curious if anyone has so many they (or their friends/family) think it's a problem.

I have two myself, and am already looking at a third. Luckily (or unluckily..) I don't make enough money to justify a third, so I will just be window shopping for a while.

I think I'm a little addicted to watch collecting. I just started but I've already spend quiet a bit of money on just my first year of collecting. Im on the forums everyday. I look at the selling section for hours just seeing what out there and if i can find any deals. I would say its somewhat of an addicting. Not so much were I'm hurting myself over it. Its my life biggest passion "watch collecting".

Not addicted in the way you speak but I love Rolex watches. No other brand does it for me. They are a joy in my life and will be passed to my son when I am done for this world.

T. Ferguson · 16 September 2016, 08:03 AM

Not a Rolex addict, but it is definitely my favorite brand.

BNA/LION · 16 September 2016, 08:05 AM

Yes

Kyle89 · 16 September 2016, 08:09 AM

The first step is admitting you have a problem, or something along those lines lol.

DeeTee · 16 September 2016, 08:33 AM

I have a problem. So what

rolexnub · 16 September 2016, 08:58 AM

Boaters · 16 September 2016, 09:01 AM

Been into watches for about 10 years just graduated to Rolex a year and a half ago but yes there is a definite sort of addiction ... What is the saying once you wear the crown you never go down ... So right

I just picked up my third today and am thinking about what my next watch should be. Yes, it does become a problem.

second time · 16 September 2016, 09:19 AM

I can stop any time I like, I just don't want to!

kilyung · 16 September 2016, 09:21 AM

I'm less an addict and more of a victim

WJGESQ · 16 September 2016, 09:41 AM

There are far worse addictions know to man.

Kevin of Larchmont · 16 September 2016, 09:42 AM

The first step is to admit that you are powerless over your addiction. I'm not powerless over Rolex. I bought a Speedmaster.

Rolex addict · 16 September 2016, 09:56 AM

Problem? What problem? I don't have a problem.

the0thrdude · 16 September 2016, 10:07 AM

I don't think addiction is the correct term for me.

porschedude · 16 September 2016, 10:09 AM

I very much enjoy watches and collecting.

Muzz · 16 September 2016, 10:40 AM

I have 4 Rolex currently and two that I have traded away in just 7 months since I bought my first. It's a hobby/insanity/addiction that I continue to enjoy! I just picked up my first WG watch and now I'm thinking DD40. That will be my grail "my last" at least that's what I tell my wife!!

caprebels · 16 September 2016, 01:00 PM

If I was single or had a wife that understands and appreciate watches as much as I do.....I would definitely add a few more Rolex watches to my collection.

Chadridv · 16 September 2016, 01:01 PM

I have addictive tendencies for collecting, buying, selling, trading all sorts of things. Mostly things that tick, but some things that are sharp and pointy, and some things that go boom ;)

If I'm not super into one at any given time, you can bet I'm into something else.
