It all happened so fast...

Received my first rolex as a gift this past christmas, a sea dweller, ref 16600. Was/is my first automatic watch. This set off an incedible chain of events which has seen me purchase a new explorer II, ref 216570, as well as two omega seamasters and a breitling in less than a month since. At this point i only seem to be attracted to sport watches but as i've been reading that will inevitably evolve into dress watches as well. Also ordered about a dozen books about watches and a rolex wall clock for my office. Guess you could say i've been bitten by the watch bug? Anyways, looks like there are others out there so now i dont feel so bad. At 36 i may have gotten off to a late start but i'm certainly scrambling to make up for it. I'm also aware it isn't a race, though my gf has to keep reminding me of that. Cheers :)
