I sit here on a Sunday afternoon only two weeks after buying my first rolex, a GMT ref 16700 and I already find myself looking for the next one. I just sold my Tudor BB and my winter beater car so that should justify this right? Or am I totally crazy

How soon after buying your first were you looking for the next one?

Here's a pic of my first love for your viewing pleasure

I bought my Hulk beginning of month and will be purchasing another model as soon as I have the money; probably in the Spring (kill me)

I have a feeling it never ends

natosub · 23 January 2017, 07:19 AM

Beautiful watch!

firegate · 23 January 2017, 07:28 AM

I feel your pain. I got my first (a BLNR) just before new years, and I've now got a Sub Hulk and a Pepsi GMT on the way.

Mrbez · 23 January 2017, 07:30 AM

It happens to us all.

I bought my first Rolex - '98 Datejust in October '16 - and just 3 weeks later I decided I needed an all-rounder, and bought a new GMT2c!

I've been looking for a 3rd ever since ha

kilyung · 23 January 2017, 07:31 AM

I once bought three (separately) in a single day.

TickTockChuck · 23 January 2017, 07:33 AM

Two weeks is a pretty short time to start lusting for another one. I usually go 6 months to a year. That's a pretty nice pepsi GMT you have and worthy of much wrist time and enjoyment. Wouldn't rush into another purchase yet IMHO. And yes, there will always be temptations no matter how many Grails you acquire through the years. Good luck and Cheers!

I'm sad to say I don't think I've ever stopped looking.

zaydans · 23 January 2017, 07:35 AM

I started planning my second purchase within a week of buying my first Rolex. I sold one and only have two at the moment but planning my next one now. Decided I need to get a new Rolex every year so that how my collection is going to shape up going forward.

This is me....I'm always on the lookout for the next one.

yunach · 23 January 2017, 07:43 AM

It never stops.
Once you buy your second one, you'll be looking into your 3rd.
The story is the same for 75% of the people on here.

This is very valid and yeah I usually only wear one watch all the time. I don't really cycle through the few watches I own. I guess I can't stop looking and scheming. I spend a ton of time in the summer on the water which is why I think I'm already looking at subs

Beautiful GMT!!!!

rollee1 · 23 January 2017, 08:03 AM

My shopping is three watches down the line when I pick up the current.
I limit myself to 2 watches a year rain or shine.

HogwldFLTR · 23 January 2017, 08:08 AM

I've received two the same day; only you wallet knows what's right.

ap1 · 23 January 2017, 08:20 AM

I look while the incoming is with the shipper and hasn't landed yet

AK797 · 23 January 2017, 08:24 AM

I just bought one last week and have been messaging all day chasing after another one. I'm trying to get a really good almost impossible deal so hopefully it won't happen, as I like to space out my buys and be a "reasonable" addict.

Bfd70 · 23 January 2017, 08:25 AM

Stop and enjoy the watch. If it is just the thrill of aquisition there are cheaper toys.

Exploradori · 23 January 2017, 08:27 AM

It never ends my friend.

toucan · 23 January 2017, 08:33 AM

Time to start looking for the next one OP !
I have an incoming tomorrow. LOL

What's inbound for you?

brandrea · 23 January 2017, 09:00 AM

Beautiful 16700 you have there! I suppose you need to stay of this forum for a while as you're not going to get the help you need here

LuminousMaximus · 23 January 2017, 09:05 AM

You haven't really been bIt hard until you are forced to join ROLEX Annoymous...

Until then, have fun

DCheeta · 23 January 2017, 09:34 AM

Yep, that's the "New Watch Fever" that you've fallen victim to. It hits you hard as soon as you get a new watch, but it slowly fades away over the course of a few weeks or months.

If you can ride it out until it passes, you'll be good to go. If not...hang on to your wallet and enjoy the ride!

GMT Aviator · 23 January 2017, 10:59 AM

I was a one watch guy until I bought my first Rolex.

HogwldFLTR · 23 January 2017, 11:05 AM

On a different tack, you've got a 16700 (which I've also got). You might pick up both the black and coke inserts as well as a jubilee bracelet so you can switch it up some.
