you peruse the classy's and stumble on a watch you'd like to enquire on and then realize you already own the same watch but haven't worn it for over a year...

seriously -- just happened to me, and i really need to get an updated inventory list.

ltmgeller · 15 May 2017, 01:29 PM

I've done that before. At least you like it enough to buy it again.

AboutTime · 15 May 2017, 01:33 PM

It's unlikely I'll have that problem before I become senile because I never own more than two Rolex watches at the same time.

Bigsykedaddy · 15 May 2017, 01:33 PM

I'd like to have that problem one day

Chewbacca · 15 May 2017, 01:35 PM

now i'm nervous.

i wonder if its Jocke's avatar that's frying my brain or something??? i might be tripping out.

calling my doc in the am.

Can you share more information? like the model etc? I can't fathom in forgetting a watch I own even if I haven't' worn that in years!!

16570 black dial.

i typically wear my white dial one and thought it would be nice to have a black one too; and then, well, we know what happened.

in my defence, a relative had it for a while and then returned it over xmas -- just went back in the box.

like my GI Joes and Transformers, my mom will visit and have a garage sale thinking i never use them so why not?

DramaTurtle · 15 May 2017, 01:50 PM

That's a scary (and serious) problem to have!

Chewbacca · 15 May 2017, 01:52 PM

come to think of it, i do have doubles (sort of).

14060 2 and 4 liners and several DJ variants... and the polar exp2 and nearly forgotten black.

Chadridv · 15 May 2017, 01:56 PM

That happened to me too the other day, but it wasn't a watch, it was a pair of hiking socks. About to pull the trigger and then I had dejavu, of standing in the same section of Marshalls looking at socks. Lucky me, they were stuffed all the way in the back of the sock drawer.

It's basically the same thing.

It's like finding a $20 in your pants when they come back from the laundry:)

Exactly! :-)

dadonn2 · 15 May 2017, 03:19 PM

Maybe it's a sign of enlightenment. The closest I've come is admiring pics of a watch I own with a momentary pause before realizing I own it. 19

encarter13 · 16 May 2017, 03:18 AM

I would love to have this problem!

KBM · 16 May 2017, 03:27 AM

Time for meds! :Rofl:

coleburns · 16 May 2017, 04:41 AM

i aspire to have this problem. Crazy

Chiboy · 16 May 2017, 05:03 AM

Reminds me of this:

http://metro.co.uk/2011/01/19/jermai...orsche-629935/

It could happen to anybody!

kilyung · 16 May 2017, 05:28 AM

Happens to me all the time particularly when watches are in the bank vault.

droptopman · 16 May 2017, 05:51 AM

Lol, 7

TheVTCGuy · 16 May 2017, 05:54 AM

CJ, I want to help... Send me the one you already own and go ahead and buy the new one. That way, you will not be depriving yourself of the thrill of a new Rolex!

No... no need to thank me buddy, just helping out a dear friend.

I'll PM you my shipping address.

exactly. maybe a 12 watch winder box with a 'best safe to bolt into the house foundation?' thread is in order.
