Am I alone...?
Am I alone here...?
It seems that nearly everyone here has multiple high-end watches. I just have two watches: a Timex that I don't care if it gets stolen (say if I'm in a Manila slum, which has happened) & a 216570 Polar Explorer for just about everywhere else.
Is anyone else here a one-watch-wonder?

The most of the people that they are hanging around here, used to have only one watch when they first joined

I do enjoy it! But I'm afraid of the infection.

It starts with one. "Starts" being the keyword, :) 4 months ago I joined TRF with a GMT Coke and a Timex ('vintage inspired')...the Timex was sold on eBay and was replaced by a '65 Explorer 1016...and I also have a 3rd watch waiting to be opened. It's quite a disease that I don't think anyone here has found a cure for. We're all a support group for each other, and a horrible one at that, :)

No you're not alone. Some here don't even own a Rolex. Ownership is not a requirement for appreciation of the brand or learning about it's great history.

I don't own a Rolex yet. I'm still saving up my money for my first one. But my cousin owned just ONE all yellow gold rolex with the diamond markers. But yes I've also noticed that a lot members here own multiple high watchers. I was very surprised this also

Holy cow! If I had a collection like this, I'd probably have about three divorced wives and insanely high alimony.

Over 500 posts and several years on TRF?  I think you may be immune! If there can be a vaccine, then we need the antibodies from your blood to develop it!

Tell me, there must at least one more Rolex you would like to have? Which one is it?
