Peter,

I know exactly what you mean. I think we all went through the same thing. On one hand I would sometimes wish that it would stop, on the other hand this is a great hobby and I love it!

I don't think it will stop... There is no cure once the bug has gotten you - it may lie dormant for a while, but only until your next bonus or tax refund or whatever it is that triggers the cravings for yet another beautiful Rolex.

Beauty - remember, the first step is admitting you have a problem:

OK, I have a problem - at least it's not an expensive habit, like dru - wait a minute...

You killed your Sub, and replaced it with a Sea Dweller?!!!

Stop killing your Rolexes, and it will!

Expensive but fun! What the hell, life is short and you can't take it with you. You may as well read the time with a nice watch.

Congrats on the SD. It's a beauty.

I know how you feel. I bought my first 2 Rolexes a week apart. To be honest, I am kind of scared about the cost of servicing these bad boys.
