I'm embarrassed to even post. I feel blessed that I have been able to obtain one let alone a bunch.

Congrats Tim on that rock! I'm sure you made the right decision with that one!

How many Rolex did you buy this year?

114060 early 2015 and a Tudor BBB late 2015. Will see for 2016...

I joined TRF in February of 14. Before that, I've never owned a Rolex. Since then I've purchased an 114060, a Tudor BB, an Omega Moon Watch, a Panerai 000, an IWC Pilot watch and another Omega '57, which I recently flipped for a LNIB Daytona. Oh, and I recently bought my wife a new Datejust for our anniversary. Most of these watches came from trusted sellers here. So thank you TRF, for reinforcing my already compulsive personality.

Just the BLNR, which brought me into the club. I keep looking at the SubC No Date, but somehow my one watch seems just enough. btw- I am traveling right now, and actually using the GMT function is pretty fun.

I'm also embarrassed and very fortunate but, as you asked, bought 8 and sold 4. I have to admit my 1680 is favourite this year

I'm very happy and satisfied with this decision. The watch will come and will mean that much more when it does!

Congratulations to you, both
Learning from you, I will STOP buying watches ( this year ), take my wife out for breakfast and go shopping for her bedroom furniture set

Not many, but I did source, and purchase, some very nice vintage GMTs that are complete sets.

Joined the forum in February and in the last year, I was good for 5 watches- a BLNR, TT YM II, a TT bluesy, a sub, and an Air King for the wife. Gave up the YM II and BLNR (long story), sold the sub at a discount to my buddy as a landmark b-day gift. My wife now has two (a hulk bought in 2014) to my one. Love the 116613 but something good lurks for 2016. :)

Zero. About to finish law school and starting funding toward my first. Patience is a virtue. Alternatively, being patient sucks;)
