What to do to keep myself busy?

Hey all,

Just bought my first ever new rolex (will reveal the seller and the pics tomorrow when I get it ) but what do you do to keep yourself busy from checking the tracking every 10 minutes for no reason just cus you're so excited?

I can't help it but say I'm so excited. I'm 23 years old, far from coming from a rich family. Worked very hard for every penny but made sure that when I buy, I don't go into debt or get loans or stuff just for a watch...so I'm pretty secure!

TIA!

Totally the opposite for me. I check this forum religiously while I'm waiting for an incoming. I'm like a crack addict trying to get a fix. I figure the pictures will tide me over until the real thing arrives!

Surf craigslist, waste time on ebay, drink some coffee to calm you nerves, look at pictures of large breasted women. German study a few years ago proved it helps.

Here is one thing you should do: assume up front that weather conditions, or some other delay will add an extra day onto the delivery. Then when it comes on time you will be pleasantly surprised.

Good for you - congrats.

I echo the warning of staying away from this forum they are nothing but a bunch of enabling bums they are!

I'm on here like a crack addict looking at everyone else's scores wishing my next one was on its way. I was happy with one watch til I found this forum, now I just want more wrists so I can wear more than two at a time.
I tried cooking breakfast yesterday to take my mind off watches but only spent 10 minutes in the kitchen and 15 minutes eating it. Well back to browsing the for sale section...

Avocado and cheese omelet with cinnamon dusted fried banana and Jamaican blue mountain cappuccino.
