We need a "Safehouse" where we can hang out on TRF without fear

I think the intervention is only really needed if you do most of your TRF viewing while hiding in the mens room staring at your iPhone. Otherwise, you are normal...or as normal as you will find around here.

Baki · 23 November 2010, 10:29 AM

It's always the "the last one" until the next one. I think I love the hunt as much as the buy. So, I have to admit it's a problem but man is it fun.

HL65 · 23 November 2010, 10:55 AM

We are all in trouble!!!!

dddrees · 18 September 2011, 10:28 AM

I just spoke with my AD today and he assured me everything was fine, and no intervention would be necessary.

Grissom · 20 September 2011, 04:39 AM

Dan, they are just enablers!!

mcurtisal · 20 September 2011, 12:11 PM

Problem? My wife is on facebook all the time. She has no idea....

rolexer11 · 20 September 2011, 12:30 PM

Bahhaaaa! I just showed my wife this thread. Now I feel better. No problem here! ONnly 4 subs and looking to get a GMT!

pacifichrono · 20 September 2011, 04:21 PM

Not anymore, BUT...several years ago I "discovered" vintage watches. Three weeks later I had bought 25 of them. My credit card exploded!

Now it all makes sense to me.

Maybe I do need help after all.

On second thought, I would much rather be out looking for that next watch.

DiamondJack · 20 September 2011, 09:08 PM

It's an extremely slippery slope and we probably need TRF to open up a new counselling centre although I suppose the GTG's satisfy that to a certain extent when we can all take comfort in the fact there are so many of us with the same affliction..... and cry into our beer over how much we still need to spend to satify our watch buying desires

Mefromhere · 25 January 2012, 07:30 PM

Hey, it's better than going to a casino to satisfy an addiction. At least you have some hard goods worth some serious money! :))

Oh, wait, that's right, I forgot... It's not the strength of my will... It's the weakness of my bank account!

I'm pretty happy, though, that since I've been on TRF I wouldn't say I want more watches. The problem is that it encourages me to want the ones I like MORE since there will always be pics of them to entice me!

Lion · 25 January 2012, 08:33 PM

I have a question if we all need an intervention who's running the asylum???
