Actually, you're quite normal. Some members are a little sicker.

Perfectly normal if you have the money that is. I could only ever, and would only ever own one personally. There are far more important things to spend your money on IMO, rather than owning loads of expensive watches. But that's me.

These are just pics from internet sites so don't know if they are the precise metal and bezel as your DJ and new Expl.II-42. But Congrats on 2 iconic choices - you are slightly ill - the real fever comes on after the 6th purchase in a year

Congratulations, it is truly an amazing watch, I have the white version and it is hands down one of the best watches that rolex have made.

i doubt you will wear your DJ once you have this beauty in your hands and that should mean a lot coming from a stupid troll like me.

Only two Rolex watches in the past 12 months? Yes, you are sick...

...You should have at least 6 by now!

Congratulations, I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures!

Congratulations on your new purchase! Don't worry about making two purchase in relative short time. This might be just the beginning! Unfortunately, the more you hang around the forum, the enabler(S) will try their best to make our illness worst!
