LOL. I'd have to say both although I do look at my watch more often than I do the forum. But in all honestly, I look at both multiple times per day.

Ill say that Im addicted to both the Rolex watch and TRF.
However, Ill also say that Im much more addicted to the watch because it was the addiction for the watch that sparked the addiction for the forum. ![]()

I am in denial. I don't i'm addicted. But my wife sure thinks I am and don't tell anyone but I think she is planning an intervention.

![]() My father appreciated watches a lot and he even thought I was addicted. LOL It must be in our genes only to get stronger in the next generation.

My Dad liked watches also. Nice watches for sure, however, is interest was more into old pocket watches and non working ones in particular. Don't ask me why i have no idea. Probably because he could take the thing apart (figure out the movement I guess) without feeling guilty.

Well, I would have to say both! Always been a big Watch lover and this is a great forum.
Have been working overseas for several years, and getting on Forums is a great way to pass the time when not working. Discuss things that interest you. In pass have been really involved in some Gun and Knife forums, but for the last year has pretty much been TRF. |

These two addictions seems to feed each other and unfortunately for some it appears to have spiralled out of control.

I would say the watch gets more attention than the forum for me.
I look at the thing 100 plus times a day, I'm not on here 100 times a day. And I only have a black dial/gold baton Oysterdate Precision. Think if I had a Sub or Seadweller. |

If it would only be one brand like Rolex but unfortunately it is not
![]() Spend way too much time on forums and non watch related threads ![]() But it is fun to read posts from all kinds of people all over the world, their views, opinions and love for watches. Maybe I should get out more? (already traveling 2 weeks a month) ![]() ![]() |

Both.
Rolex is for the beauty & this forum is for the knowledge. A perfect combination when beauty & knowledge go together. It's a wonderful feeling to wear a rollie & know little bit about Rolex. Relaxation is the extra bonus that this forum provides. Thank you all. ![]() ![]() |

Has to be the watch, but the pleasure is certainly enhanced by TRF.
