WISease - Do you suffer from it?

WISease - a chronic disorder which strikes all who love watches. If you are not sure you have this, check the following to see if you can relate. If you can answer yes to at least two questions, you need to seek help!



Do you have multiple windows open that are watch related?



Do you have accounts at auction sniper websites?



Are you tracking more than one incoming package at the same time?



Have you opened a secret bank account?



Have you gotten a post office box no one knows about?



Has your family seen nothing but the back of your head in the last three weeks?



Have you Made a fool of yourself straining to see another person's watch?



Have you had to quickly close a watch-related website window (at work, etc) because "eyes" were walking by you?



Have you ever made a statement such as "Naw, I've had this watch for a long time"?



Do you spend time typing silly stuff such as this?



Although there is no known cure, there is Rx which keeps this enjoyable disorder in check.



Some treatments include straps, bracelets, horo tools, modifications, cameras, and trades to mention a few.



Ultimately, there is almost always a relapse. This is chiefly the fault of watch manufacturers and forums. Say you are doing fine, haven't bought a watch in six months, then someone posts a "Wow! Have you seen this new model?"



99.9% of people on this planet do NOT understand ... but to a WIS, it's pure love!!

let me add few more...



takes the 1000meter water proof Sinn U1 off from the wrist and puts it into the deepest pocket before walking into a storm without any rain gear.



memorizes all serial numbers of the Rolex watches made in the past 60 years but keeps forgetting your wife's birthday.

I will always try to take time off(short periods) from watch collecting,say lesser visits to watchshops,forums etc. Though it will not last long but still has a certain effect on me like the doing the 'check and balance' of current collection. Then I will sell some off and start to be proud of myself and the discipline I have. but with enough funds at hand and the many 247 forums,buying another watch is just the next step.... a vicious cycle..

Unfortunately for my wallet, I do. :cry: :cry:

No, I don't think I suffer from it.



:mrgreen:

neither do I.



I love cars.

Me too didn't suffer, I got top notch discipline..... Too much hobbies!!
