but it didn't work. After wearing my GMT IIC nearly every day since November, 2009, I decided to put it away for several months and wear my other watches. The idea was that when I started wearing it again it would appear new. Well, this lasted for only 8 days. I couldn't do it. I had to have on my wrist. Is this the definition of addiction?

You've got the BIG SHABOOKIE sitting in a safe? of course you would miss it. I'd wear it everyday. You don't buy one of those to hide!

smallcandle · 29 January 2010, 01:12 AM

Agreed. Such a beautiful watch should be worn proudly everyday - not hidden away. Obviously you have come to your senses, though!

tandrup · 29 January 2010, 01:22 AM

Yeah, I think you just defined "Addiction". Withdrawal symptoms can be pretty nasty :-)

ersnyder · 29 January 2010, 01:52 AM

Great lookin' watch, wear it and enjoy it!

thesharkfactor · 29 January 2010, 03:31 AM

you cant hide beauty like that in a box or a safe! it must be on your wrist and allowed to shine!

We buy them to wear them! I can't seem to take mine off since I have gotten it.

JJ Irani · 29 January 2010, 06:12 AM

Yes, it is a very bad addiction................the only reason I keep swinging my 4 around in turns on a weekly basis!!

Fofo · 29 January 2010, 07:29 AM

Yup, that would be an addiction! And being in this forum is definitely not helping. Check out some more pictures of GMT-IIc!!!

JBat · 29 January 2010, 07:31 AM

No, it's the definition of a really good watch!

acce1999 · 29 January 2010, 07:36 AM

I have not seen my black ExII for two months now, and that's the one I miss at the moment. I usually keep one watch (two currently) at home, and the others rest in the deposit box at the bank. I rotate once a month, and it is a great feeling to go get one of them. It is sort of silly, but it makes me happy.

Best,

A

Step away from the watch.

YES you are an addict Please mail it to immediatly me so I can save you from this terrible addiction .

MURRAY · 29 January 2010, 08:00 AM

Sounds like you had withdrawals!!

Boopie · 29 January 2010, 03:35 PM

I totally sympathize. I could not believe that I missed my Yachtmaster while it was away at the RSC for service. It sounds totally superficial and crazy. I did get used to the look and feel of a particular watch on the wrist. It's kind of like getting used to the pillow you sleep on every night.

Plus, frankly, I just couldn't remember the date without looking at my watch.

It's very hard to wear anything else when you know your Rolex is sitting in a safe at home.

MitchSteel · 30 January 2010, 06:13 AM

I dont blame you, I wore mine everyday since I got it.......till the 1675 came along.But really, IIC is gourgeous, it still gets most of my wrist time........and yes, you're addicted.
