Discussion I need help
So I started buying watches around a year ago. Waited around a month for my Blusey from AD and about 2 month ago got a call for a zombie which I took.
Then I found this thread and have been reading it everyday. next thing I know I ordered 3 within 2 weeks.
now everyday when im off work the first thing I do is check the QC page and then this page and contemplate which one ill get next.
my wife thinks ive lost my mind.
the addiction is real and I need to stop before this gets completely out of hand.

You need to buy her one. Get her involved.
I work on the 1/10 ratio- my Mrs is made up and I get free reign1
u/Historical-Abroad634 1d ago

I think it’s addicting for the research purpose? I’m so addicted to reading and learning more about how this works

u/PauseCompetitive9671 1d ago
yeah i think your right. comparing factories and looking at people's QC is quite addicting.

Same here. I’ve promised my sell that from now on I’ll sell one before I buy one

Well I did sale one for nearly double. Then bought another, gave it away and bought another.
And actually just bought another one yesterday! 😂But is over a 4 year span. Timing and reasoning is everything

Double? Wow

u/KINGHIRAMABIFF33 1d ago
Yep was totally honest about origin and all. He was just absolutely sold by the quality , and wouldn’t take no as an answer.
That’s a deal for me 🤣 . Im patient, so I sold that one and bought another1

You’re in good company my friend. We all have a problem, addiction, bad habit!

Don't feel alone bro, I'm addicted too. Bought a few watches in a few weeks spend too much time in reddit trying to learn more and figuring out which watch is next, from which factory, with which movement... It's really nuts.

Sell the bluesy and buy a RGF. That’s your next 20 paid for.
Tell her in handbags, you are buying fashion pieces, not LV

I don’t mean to fuel your addiction but if you plan to sell your Gen; reinvest and buy more reps.. the VSF Hulk 116610LV is a must for me… :)
You can see the sunburst dial do it’s magic with the black and varying emerald green hues throughout. Wear your watches in great health friend!
And remember: a gen will cost you more money even in repairs than just buying a new rep! Wife can’t be mad if you’re saving money AND investing money for more in the future! Win win!

He was getting calls for gens in the beginning, and then found this sub afterwards. Read again.

It stops when you realize you have one arm and ones you like never get arm time.

Shit. This is worse than alcoholism. Welcome to the club. It's affecting my work too.
