freddy333 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Over the years, I have seen many new Daytona owners post some variation of the following on TZ (and the following is a full, unedited quote) I am a VERY new buyer of a SS Daytona (some 6 days old) and I am thinking...well, I got it, now what? Yes, its true I have been wanting one and have been on the AD List for 5 + years but...... The thrill is most certainly in the "hunt." I kinda miss my Sub. that I had to sell to pick up the SS Daytona. Both my best friends have one, it just kinda seem "blah" at the moment. What kind of idiot sits on one or more Daytona waiting lists (for years) & then pays $8,000-$12,000 (alot of ADs are selling SS Daytonas for several $k over MSRP) for a watch he or she obviously never wanted in the first place? And these are some of the same drooling baffoons who, just yesterday, called rep owners 'fools'!!! :bangin: :bangin: :bangin: :bangin: :bangin:

Corgi Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 I find many people on timezone have deep psychological issues. Many are compensating for something, especially on the Rolex forums. It's painfully similar to the Ferrari owners club. You get a lot of "mine is (newer/better/faster/more expensive) so THERE. But... I don't like it any way! I'm just that rich."
alt.watch.obsessive Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Hi Freddy, I was just reading your several month long Newman/DW/V72 saga and I think we're ALL a bit nuts. Someone should respond to the guy and say that the watch is a bit "small and feminine." That'll really set him off. Cheers.
freddy333 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Posted October 23, 2007 I was just reading your several month long Newman/DW/V72 saga and I think we're ALL a bit nuts. You have a point (to a degree). But there is a difference between going after something YOU want and going after something the herd tells you you ought to want (especially when you do not know what you want ). The former may be obsessive, but the latter is certifiable.
docblackrock Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Oh I've come across this attitude MANY times It's essentially a combination of: - weak mind - lack of aesthetic bone in their miserable body - no individual thought/sheep mentality - 'keeping up with the Jones' ' - small genitals Otherwise summed up in a perfect all-encompassing word: T o s s e r ( I can't believe "[censored]" is censored!!!)

I think that to be the most likely reason

Can't argue with the doctor Ken BTW is censored really censored or did you write a censored word that was censored by our censor?
docblackrock Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Ken, nope, the T-word I used (with spaces heh heh) is the one that's censored. Why when "bastard" isn't? Bloody RWG nanny state
eunomians Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Ahhh, the Daytona. Can't live with them. Can't live without them. Which one is it? Never can make a decision. The debate rages on...
freddy333 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Posted October 23, 2007 BTW is censored really censored or did you write a censored word that was censored by our censor? I would answer that question, but the censors asked me not to.

POTR Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Anyone ever visit that "exclusive" Forum only to realize it was more outdated feeling than a Movado Museum watch?
eddhead Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 agree with pug... live and let live... that advice would apply to people on the gen forums with regard to us as well.
tech Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Um, live and let live? I'll second that....I too have daytona envy but daaayam...I'm not boohoo'ing 'bout it on a public board...
gran Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Now this is a very enjoyable thread One thing is for certain watch collectors must be lacking something....and it aint watches
Kollektor Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 agree with pug... live and let live... that advice would apply to people on the gen forums with regard to us as well. But where would the fun in that be?
southcoast68 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 I'll say that if the member from Timezone is really not loving his new Daytona and misses his sub, I'll trade him my noob LV for his Daytona and put him out of his misery
