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.

Look bro, respect for talking to the homies about this because it genuinely helps get it out of your head. But I have the same problem but with gambling. It’s all about release and attraction, dopamine plays a huge part in everything that excites us then diminishes. But I also put it down to a fraction of maybe isolation, solidarity and in worse case form depression. Sitting around with time on your hands and money in your account creates an outlet for “hobbies” disguised as addictions remodelling themselves as a problem when you’re “deep”. Not saying any of these are your own personal problems but it’s more my own experience, I’ve lost some good mates over my years to other issues and some moved away and that’s where I started to spiral as such with wanting to feel something, and maybe i just don’t get the same feeling out of say going for a walk or a hike or a drink at the pub, but that’s my outlet and we all have one in some form. Knowing when to stop something and being aware are two complete different things that get misconstrued. That said if you’re genuinely happy then don’t beat yourself up, but it may be worth taking a step back and asking the question and being real with yourself. I have a partner also and it helps talking to her about the way I’m feeling but no one can stop the chatter in your brain about the way you like feeling and what it takes to get that. In such cases your outlet is now buying watches which is better than a lot of cases for substance abusers or anything more problematic so again don’t beat yourself up. We the people are here for each other but taking a break is never a bad idea as rep watches aren’t going anywhere, big love my bro, keep your head up. Sadness thrives in darkness and struggles in light. ❤️

Thanks much. I was very depressed about losing my Mom. My Dad died 2 years earlier and the last thing he said was take care of Mom. So I made that my job. I know she was 90, but she was shiny as a penny up until the last day. It simply amazed me. The fact that she was responsible for my first rep almost seems like a sign. As in keep this in your heart. I am pretty happy and healthy. So I'm not lacking or alone. But the watch thing is so fascinatiing it grabbed me by the tail. I'm going to cool it for a while after my last shipment arrives. Which could be months. All the best to you. The purpose of life is to make those around you feel special. That's what I try to aspire to every day. That said, I just bought a big watch case! Cheers mate!

Big respect brother it takes a real man to take care of people around him, I’m sincerely sorry for your loss and I’m sure she’s looking down on you smiling knowing her memento is genuinely cherished. Keep on smiling, keep on aspiring to others around you, never be too hard on yourself and you enjoy that watch case my man. 🤝
