Hi all !

Its been one month yesterday since i have my 16710.

Bought it in September 2008(but was hard to get it to France) from a valuable member here and got it on December 31st.

It was something a little bit insane for me when i decided to spend a few thousand $ on a watch... but i'd been dreaming of it for over ten years, i quited smoking almost a year ago, and on top of this i could afford it at that time.

I was sure it would make me happy... and my GMT II does make me happy like non other of my "toys" ever made me happy.

But i can't spend a day without thinking i need a second sport one for the week end (Sub, Sub LV, or Exp II), and that i OF COURSE desesperately need a dressed up watch (Future Exp II, Future GMT IIc Pepsi, Future 41mm Datejust, or a PAM 183).

So far i bought this month a Pepsi Bezel... and a Nato strap...

So will this ever end ?????????????????????????????

It will never end......sorry to say...it is an fantanstic addiction that keeps one broke. I just bought another myself because i thought I needed it. you will never be happy and before you know it...you will have watches for all occasions and every day of the week. Have fun....life is too short. Enjoy my friend

The truth of the matter is you need 7 Rolex's. One for each day of the week.

Until you acquire them you will never be happy!

Never!!!!!! Arrrrghhhh!

Two down, 5 to go for me!

rajurama · 2 February 2009, 06:20 AM

NO! :)

vapalux · 2 February 2009, 06:24 AM

Unfortunately you need more than 7 because once you have what you think you want

You want something else!!!!

and on it go's and on it go's, and on it go's.............................................. ............

I got an air-king to start then a sub lv and like you I want more but made myself stop. Keep the $ in the bank to save up for somthing else new car down the road. If you can afford it then go balls out. I would get a gold Rolex next if I had tons and tons of cash.

Gasoil4ever · 2 February 2009, 06:23 AM

I started saving for the next one...

The first one had to be the 16710, its all i wanted... but gor the next one... every other day i change my mind its horrible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gasoil4ever · 2 February 2009, 06:26 AM

Actually if you look at all members signatures... there are NO "old" members with less than 3 Rolexes !

kcmo · 2 February 2009, 06:29 AM

Yes, it IS addicting! I am very fortunate to own 3 and to be honest, I do feel some guilt over it.....BUT I LOVE THEM ALL!!!!!!!!

Yeah it all starts by going to the Rolex AD, and wham, your hooked. So people, to be safe, dont goto the AD! Thats where it all starts. Let see Mr AD, how much was the Rolex in the window? Ron

Get yourself a couple of bezel inserts black and black/red then you have three different looking watches for very little money.

I have the Coke and Pepsi bezels. Ordered a Nato strap yesterday and will have a nice leather (black and red) strap made by : http://www.abp-paris.com

That should keep me happy till Basel 2009

MYK · 2 February 2009, 08:11 PM

After you get one watch for every day of the week, your next goal would be to have one watch for everyday of the month.

Then what? A watch for every day of the year?
