Of course. Doesn't everyone?

It never will end for me.
Been a fanatic about Rolex for nearly 50 years. It all started with a Bulova Accutron in 1967. Thought the tuning fork technology was neat as a 13 year old.
Working as a house painter the summer I was 18, my first splurge was a Rolex.
Every five years or so, I’d go on a spree.
Hadn’t treated myself since original blue/black GMT, 6 years ago.....but then......
Last year, bought the BLRO, the Blue Sky and white gold sub.
Close to 30 in my collection, yet I still keep looking.

I was out having dinner with my wife one night. I must have been staring at my watch, when I finally looked up she reached across the table, put her hand over my wrist and ask, “So, what time is it”?...I didn’t know.

Yes ... you’re in the wrong place if you were looking for any other answer

Last Dec I got a GMT Pepsi....then a SS White Dial Daytona on June 6, ten days later got a DJ41 fluted bezel blue dial jubilee, a week later an Airking, a week later a vintage YG Patek from 1978. Now I want a Skydweller.

I was doing great until this pandemic, then I had some extra time on my hands and started reading all these fantastic post from all you enablers

My wife’s tired of me looking at Ferraris and told me to just go buy it already. She’s tired of hearing about it.

I thought this was normal?

[watchmework]

Before TRF...never.

After I joined TRF, yeah you bet!

[Early_L]

It's a disease really... I find myself refreshing watch blogs and fora multiple times a day, mostly to find there are no new articles to be read. I think I've seen every watch Youtube video out there, even re-watching video's on watches that I already own.

And to top it of... sometimes I pause the tv to see what people are wearing. I need help...

[mikkolopez]

My wife says that of me.


... oh I just read, were you asking about watches?

Not always buying but always looking. I know what (but not when) my next incoming will be.

Agree with this. I'm always looking and I know what watches I will most likely end up buying, when is another question.

[Aberdein]

Rolex AD windows are like attractive women. I can look but am not allowed to touch. Same goes for car showrooms...

[Yess]

No. I focus on what I want and then get that.

[1William]

I am looking now and will continue looking. I have a watch collection that is constantly evolving by addition and deletion of models. Part of it is the fun of the hunt and part of it is getting watches I want to try. I also take profits from watches that I bought right and can move for a significant profit that I no longer want. It is all fun.

I stoped doing so completely after getting this one. The more I look elsewhere the more I fall in love with it.

Been there done that, still do it from time to time, it is a process that we all have to go through, at some point in life. Nothing wrong with looking, if you are financially capable, then nothing wrong with buying either :)

[nighthawk77]

Yep always on the lookout. After recently paying for my Sub during lockdown, I was already looking at what could be next before the store had opened for me to collect it...

I had a similar experience, bought a Daytona TT black dial during lockdown and had to wait couple of months before pickup. It’s actually been a good way of slowing down the aforementioned disease we have - drawing out the watch acquisition feeling out of necessity! Was of course still doing my daily future research but didn’t feel the need to be focussing on one as I hadn’t got the Daytona yet
