Bored with my Rolex

[tg147]

I recently became an owner of a Rolex about 2 months ago.
Before that I was so crazy about acquiring a Rolex.
I just seemed to have lost the hype.
Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?

[Flintstone]

just you….

Men like acquiring things, have you never heard the term "big boys toys"

Today you bought a Rolex for very good reasons. This is fine, you can now enjoy your Rolex for many years to come.

Tomorrow you will buy either a Leica camera or some such other bauble, that is what men do.

You are a normal human being.

Regards

Definitely just you. Sorry.

I don't think it's just you - I think Rolex's are pretty boring to look at.

Whilst there is no denying they are excellent tool watches and as reliable as they come...there is very little 'detail' and you can't see the movement.

I'd look for something with a see through case back if I was you.

Bored? No, it's just a watch and does what I expect it to do. I can see the 'shine' wearing off it a bit, if you'll excuse the pun, but it's similar with many other things in life (but not all).

Maybe if you venture into 'vintage' you won't get bored; there's so much variety and other factors involved (history/provenance etc.)

Try on some gold models or AP and PP.

Maybe you get bored easily.

It happened to me also. I sold it and bought another Omega. Two years later I still much happier.

Nope. I'll never tire of waking up and slipping my GMT on my wrist. Mechanical watches are amazing and Rolexes truly are a superlative example of them.

Obsess about getting something, once you have it, it's what is next that gets you fired up.

I deal with this all the time. it's not you...it's how your wired.

[joli160]

It's not how you're wired. To grossly oversimplify, it is a frequent and well documented emotional phenomena when a person has expectations of satisfaction placed on some object that the object is incapable of delivering. There is the initial rush at the time of acquisition, but then that 'high' inevitably wears down, and the person tries for another or greater acquisition, only to go through the same cycle again. If the frequency or intensity of the cycle reaches certain points there are going to be professionals about using words like addiction.

As Edward Docx said in 2011 in the UK magazine Prospect commenting on post postmodernism, "we need to be redeemed from the grossness of our consumption."

Just you...

Still in love with mine going on year number two. Maybe take it off for a month or so and wear something else, I bet the feeling comes back.

Time to sell..

[tg147]

I guess the wow factor just isn't there anymore.
Don't get me wrong, I think all Rolex's are a work of art.
But it just doesn't do it for me anymore.

OMG That's Beautiful

[superdog]

I get what you are saying.

It was a huge exciting purchase. Now it's just everyday.

Welcome to life brother. Happens with most things.

Bored? No. Not hyped? Sure. I mean you have been checking out the forums for 3 plus years, in your words, crazy about acquiring a rolex. Finally 2 months ago, you pull the trigger, and bam! You own a nice watch... That's it. It doesn't go fast, get you more women, nor massage your wrist. The hunt for these things is half the fun. Maybe you picked out the wrong one for yourself. Flip it, and find the one that sings to you

thats a good advice. With rolex you wouldnt need to worry so much about losing so much om trade. Flip what you dont like anymore and move on to next great piece. I call this a hobby.

I think you are right as after several years I enjoy putting my Rolex on everyday, you will not tire of the right one, I guess that applies to life in general

I have gotten bored of acquiring additional watches in general since I got my Rolex. There are maybe 1 or 2 other Rolexes I'd be interested in if I had the cash lying around but after buying my 1st Rolex I am no longer driven to save and acquire new watches. Three months in I cannot stop staring at my BLNR. I still track its accuracy daily.
