How soon after your last purchase did you start looking for your next purchase?

After just making one purchase (another DJ) I find I'm already looking at the next one. A lot of choices and they're all great! The Explorer or GMT is next on my list.

24 hours is my record.

Let's see, I've purchased seven watches in ten months...I have what I want now. If I get around to selling one from my collection, which I am not doing today- I typically replace it with another Rolex quickly...!

Why do you ask, are you buying... (joke)...

I'm ALWAYS looking! Sad but true. And it's so hard to decide what to get next. I can't get them all... Should I stay safe with rolex, or step it up with a AP or perhaps a Patek... Decisions :)

But I do love the hunt for the next great watch. Even though it's extremely frustrating from time to time. :)

Too soon and it got me into trouble with her.
(Polar ExpyII @ AD and then Bluesy @ DavidSW)

Recently, she told me to wait a year between purchases and to NOT tell her how much I spend.

One in May, one in June, one in July, one in August.. But I did sell the watches I bought in June and July to fund my August purchase, so I don't feel quite as bad.

Always looking. But now not just looking at Rolex. I'm kinda liking a particular PP model. But not sure yet.

Fairly constant since I'd like several more. Try to keep the purchases to one a year.
