Sometimes I feel like Sisyphus…!!!

Someone posts a picture of a watch…

Hmmm…It looks very nice...

Maybe someone else posts a picture of the same model…

Maybe you do a little research…

You search and you search…

You bargain, you haggle…

You lay awake at night thinking about finding and landing this watch…

THE perfect watch…Your ideal…

And then it happens…You find it…!!!!!!!!!

You buy it…

It arrives…

You put it on…

It's yours…You own it…After all this time...

Now what...

Okay…For a while you are thrilled…Completely Satisfied…Content…Happy...

But then it happens…

Someone posts a picture of a different watch…

Hmmm…It looks very nice…

Maybe someone else has one and posts a picture of it…

It gets you thinking...

You do a little research…No big deal...

Someone else then posts a picture of the same watch...:

You lay awake at night thinking about it...

But you can't sell the watch you just spent days, weeks, months, sometimes years searching for...

So you start saving your money…

FINALLY you find one…THE watch...

You buy it...

You are happy...

And then…

Someone posts a picture of a watch…………………………………………………………..

Well, it is pointless and kinda fits with the Myth of Sisyphus. Rolling a boulder up a hill for no reason. What is the point of going through all the actions to get watch to only start again?

Hahaha Robby !

I tried to get Mrs kind of involved

Bought her a BD Rolex and she really loves it

A few weeks later Mrs : I see a lot of women wearing Day Dates . . .

And there it started . . .

But leaves the door open for me . . .

Take care my friend

We are all Knights of the Crown Table
Always on a quest.
Searching for the elusive one.
The one to add to our collection.
The one to complete our collection.
But is the collection ever truly complete?
Always on a quest.
The thrill of the hunt.
The art of the deal.
This is what keeps us going.
