GMT II Dial Variations

Thanks Freddy.

Here's my take on it...

The obsessed Rolex collector is often considered an obsessive-compulsive, but there is actually a wide heterogeneity of possible diagnoses, including post-traumatic stress disorder, paranoia, and various character disorders. The obsession can be conceptualized, according to psychodynamic object-relations theory, as resulting from a damaged or defective sense of self, coupled with problems of impulse regulation and defensive operations. Predominant in the psychology of most obsessed patients is their tie with an Other, a self-object - in this case the evolutionary differences of a minute-sized font used on the dial of a Rolex wristwatch - that helps to stabilize favorable aspects of the patient's unstable self-image. Clinical examples are well documented, and issues of therapeutic alliance, gradual psychodynamic exploration, potential decompensation and violence, and countertransference are all frequently observed in the clinical setting.
