I've got the Rolex bug BIG TIME!

So, 8 months ago I wasn't even that much into watches. I appreciated them, but couldn't justify buying them. So fast forward to today, after moving through Tudor(Pelagos) and Omega (Planet Ocean and Aqua Terra), I now have my first two Rolexes. A Sub-C and Explorer 2 42mm polar, both purchased new. Couldn't be happier with these two! Only thing is I can't stop! 39mm explorer 1 is next!

Whoa! Slow down... it's not a race. Take the time to learn what you like/dislike. Your wallet will be happier for it.

Welcome and congrats. You will find a bunch of enablers here, so just don't ask whether you should buy another Rolex. The answer likely will be a resounding "yes."

Congrats! Now take it from the experienced (and all to often regretful) flippers here, and stop that flipping!!! Slowly add to that collection, or you will end up flipping pieces that you want back and eventually buy them back at to great of cost...and somehow still be happy as heck that you did!

Excellent advice! I made the mistake of not allowing my tastes to develop and made a couple of poor choices!
