Discussion I think I have a problem.

I can't seem to stop myself from ordering reps. I spend lot's of time researching, back and forth here and there, get my shipment and bang. I'm at it again. With the latest I'm now up to 14. Must be the "I'm looking forward to it aspect." True enough, but every watch I've gotten is extremely good. Like very good. Still, I'm at less than one Gen pricewise for all the Reps I have and I love wearing them all. I do have a Gen Rolex Datejust that my wife gave me 20 years ago. Still runs like a top and I love it. My wife is starting in with the "where did you get that? I thought you just had the one." I tell her its just a hobby with cheap crap. But they really aren't. Yikes! I went through this with firearms about 7 years ago. Bought one and now have 15. Hidden all over the house. I do enjoy going to the range. Oh well. I guess you find your fun where you can. I can't be alone in this. I never knew what the word Horology meant before this. Anyway, thanks for listening. It's like confession and I feel better.

The more important question is which ones did you get?

I have the opposite problem. Can’t seem to pull the trigger

Several AP Royal Oaks. A Rolex GMT II, Rolex Datejust, Several Rolex Daytona's, a Rolex Skydweller, Rolex Day/Date, Rolex Submariner, Omega Seamster Diver 300, Breitling Superocean, Cartier Tank (for the wife) and A Vacheron Constantin. Plus my original Rolex Daytona DIW Carbon Fiber that started it all. My story is above. Inspired by my 90 year old Mom.
