boomer775 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Just wanted to thank all of you who have put out a ridiculous amount of good information into this site. Unfortunately, it is causing a few problems in my life:I'm on this site all the time and neglecting my wifeI have found a new way to spend myself brokeI don't do anything around the house, which my wife has been pointing out on a regular occasion (actually, this isn't such a bad thing...) I've only been a member for like 3 weeks. Does it get worse before it gets better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustybrand Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Does it get worse before it gets better? Better? It never gets better. You're doomed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalcranium Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Talk to your wife about a reasonable allowance for your addiction. There is no recovery from this. You have to feed it regularly, like methadone maintainance, to keep it from getting out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebakanezzar Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Better? It never gets better. You're doomed.... Yeah, you are basicaly [censored]ed... Talk to your wife about a reasonable allowance for your addiction. There is no recovery from this. You have to feed it regularly, like methadone maintainance, to keep it from getting out of control. Might aswell just find a good lawyer now.... Edited November 26, 2006 by Nebakanezzar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansenshukai Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Trust me. I have been through hell and back and now that I am back, I am no better than before.

fotoman Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 totally screwed - the minute you think your satisfied with the collection, you see another great project out there you must have ESPECAILLY with how they are coming out of the factories these days WOW i recomend being the one who is "in charge of the finances" that way you can have a little wiggle room when something special comes out you just have to grab. what gets better over time is your abillity to comprehend all the knowledge being spewed its overwhelming at first. it will become managable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M5Man Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Face it - you're screwed. Just get used to the fact that you now have a $300 per month+ habit. Better than doing coke or crack...... I showed this post to my wife and she agreed whole heartedly. Do yourself a favor and buy her a nice ladies YM.

hambone Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Because of this new found love of mine, collecting replica's, my wife and I are at odds. She does not understand at all and is not speaking to me. The thing is, I really enjoy this and I do not go out at night, gamble, or engage in any vice, so I am standing my ground. If I so choose, I could buy any number of Gens, but I could never really grasp the concept of spending thousands on a watch. That is what makes collecting these reps so appealing. It's a gas. And I believe I have earned the right to indulge myself as I see fit. Trying to understand the female mind is futile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookoo Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 wait until you find the other watch forums around. Just follow the link section on this site. That will keep you busy for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrono903 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 You think this is bad, I started on Timezone! "sorry honey, the house note is gonna have to wait." At least here you get a better return for your money. Thank you RWG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomer775 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 In the wise words of By-Tor...most people surf the net for porn...we just look at watches....(your wife should be grateful... ) Cheers Alex There is great logic to this quote. I could be blowing the mortgage on hookers and booze, but I don't. What's a harmless hour or 12 on a discussion board? In addition, you can't take your money to the grave, so you might as well spend it on some good replica watches and a six pack of New Castle...

ryyannon Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 And, to top it all off, I just read that this site is also "corrupt"! Not 'corrupt'. This site is currupt. Psst, wanna buy a watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 i guess i'm the lucky one here, the wife spends time on pregnancy forums, Lost forums and is a general internet researcher. So she is somewhat detered that sometimes the forums get more attention then her. But - she gives me leeway so i don't bug her about her vices. She does think its funny - i was explaining to her about replacing a crown and she was like - I think its funny what you guys talk about, its like porn - ohh, look at the Crown on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryyannon Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I'm a rehaut man myself.... Others seem to get off on dial feet. Or even (gasp!) punching oval holes! Now somone's started a thread on 'stripped and screwed'... It's true: this site really is currupt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgan Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Your life will never be the same. You will lose friends because all you can talk about is movements, sapphire AR and luming. It starts slowly. You're at work and you take breaks to look at your watch. You buy some more an your co-workers notice that you never wear the same watch twice.. "how many freakin watches do you have anyway?" You go on vacation and wonder if any new watches came out while you are at the beach. The bills keep adding up and you have new reps mailed to your office rather than home so the wife won't know. As addictions go this one isn't so bad except that there is no known cure as of yet. My name is morgan, and i am a watchaholic. First step towards recovery.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is morgan, and i am a watchaholic. First step towards recovery.. oh yeah, definatly mail the reps to the office- that way you can make sure she is in a good mood to unveil and, everyone will be l;ike what- how many watches do you have, and idiot why do you spend so much on fakes, then they will come to your house and go wow- those are impressive by the way - your not gone till you find yourself spending 100 bucks on getting a crown replaced ON A FANTASY MODEL!!!!! ahhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Welcome to the club, boomer. Just politely point it out to your wife that a lover would take much more of your time, attention and money than a watch forum. (That is not true, but your wife does not need to know it).
