I realised I had too much of a watch problem when I walked round the house with a Pepsi on one arm and a Daytona on the other deciding which one to wear that day.

I’d be interested to hear when others members realised when they had a watch obsession/problem....

Or maybe everyone is in denial!

When you just bought a watch and you're already looking for the next one.

When Visa and Mastercard keep calling?

When your excuse for buying another watch is to fill your winder.

Chaching · 18 July 2018, 04:18 AM

When your Credit Card company keeps asking you to verify the transaction

Gerry.GEG · 18 July 2018, 04:21 AM

Usually when my wife makes a big deal out of it!!!

gringtito514 · 18 July 2018, 04:23 AM

When you start thinking about your third watch after just getting your hands on your first Grail but before even landing your second watch!

GradyPhilpott · 18 July 2018, 04:28 AM

Problem? What problem?

SG56 · 18 July 2018, 04:37 AM

When you ask the question?

When you look at your watch 100+ times a day, but have no idea what time it is.

This. (I'm not proud of it either.)

Largoshark · 18 July 2018, 05:01 AM

When you've bought, sold, and rebought the same watch...multiple times.

nektar · 18 July 2018, 05:03 AM

When you spend more than you make on watches.

BNA/LION · 18 July 2018, 05:03 AM

It's not a problem if she doesn't know I'm still buying watches after I told her I stopped!

Star Ferry · 18 July 2018, 05:03 AM

Like anything else, it becomes a problem when it affects other parts of your life negatively (finances, job, relationships, mental health, etc.)

If it's a hobby pursued with disposable income that doesn't spill into other areas of life, I don't see a problem

crazycarlitos · 18 July 2018, 05:16 AM

When u start a thread asking “do I have a watch obsession problem?”.....

Lol

HogwldFLTR · 18 July 2018, 05:19 AM

wantonebad · 18 July 2018, 05:54 AM

When you have a watch, playing a watch, disguised as another watch...

dnpina · 18 July 2018, 05:55 AM

1. When you lie to yourself and actually believe your newborn son will want and cherish an already dated anachronism purchased today. 2. When your posting pics of your wife's wrists with a deep sea seadweller on and going on about how she loves the chunky size and maybe she'll share it with you.
3. Buying a "hot watch' that you didn't really want (I'm guilty of only the last one)

Stevec14 · 18 July 2018, 05:57 AM

When you can’t remember all the watches you have flipped.

I have done number 3, but it actually led to the best watch I’ve had so counts as a good thing in my book....

When you are at a scenic location and instead of enjoying it you search for the perfect lighting angle for your wrist shot to post on TRF!

Number one is dead on. I cannot prevent myself from shaking my head whenever I see these posts. Instead, take the money and put it in an education savings 529 fund (in the US) if you want to do something for your kids.
