This stupid itch just CANNOT be scratched!

Stupid stupid itch... nothing can scratch it!

I am sitting here in the dark (it's 7pm in Chicago) - I'm too lazy to turn on the lights, I should be going to the gym.. but I'm sitting here in the dark surfing the forums on my macbook.

I am looking through our FS section and the Paneristi.com FS section and I just cannot get over the number of watches I want!

I want a YG GMTIIC, a WG Sub Smurf, a Panerai 233 or 270, a Panerai 292 (pig or pigless)...

... then there's the newbies: the Hulk LV.

*Sigh*...

... I just had to vent. I just don't get how I can have my trifecta of Rolexes but still not be entirely content.

Is something wrong with me? Does anyone else feel the same?

I'm going to the gym now.

Yeah but I think it is reaching critical mass again.

I think all he needs is a little push.

Anybody out there willing to give him a gentle push?

IF you decide to get one those are real cool ones as well. I went with a DJII for my third watch. It's a TT and it's the one with the Green Roman Numerals.

I got addicted, and it's so darn difficult to resist them.

That's a beautiful watch, for sure.

Is there a S/S or TT white dial DJII with Roman numerals though?

Sorry Dan, turns out I was two days off - according to official sources (see below), it's 21 Dec 2012. So that gives Joey even less time to scratch his itches!

Joey, we all have the disease here. It's called WATCHES WATCHES WATCHES.

Last night I couldn't sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about vintage GMTs. I just got one a month ago and is still not enough. My collection is quite large and I have almost every piece I've always dreamed of but unfortunately with this disease it's never enough.

It's really not about the watches but what we feel when we get them. That's what we are really addicted to. Like with any other addiction we crave the sensation and feelings associated with the activity of buying a new piece.

Joey I don't wish to hijack your thread, however I think my kidding must of backfired.

Joey you must have put a hex on me for giving you such a hard time.

I did a very bad thing.

I paid a visit to my local AD today and I did not come back home empty handed.

I know have the RG and strap combo I was looking for.

I'm saving the wrist shot for when I get my deployment clasp, which should be about 2 weeks.
