Help…I'm really sick…..down with severe W.A.S.

[JOS2012]

In January 2012 I told myself that my grail watch for this whole year was to be a GO Perpetual Calendar, so after much thought and taking awhile to dispose off a whole bunch of watches that I stopped wearing over the last few years, I finally convinced myself to buy this watch in March 2012 and it was supposed to quench my W.A.S. till 2013….I also promised myself that I should only buy 1 additional watch only when I sold 1 existing one..to keep my collection at maximum 7-9



When WWII invited me over in April 2012, I thought that I'd get my missus a nice Max Bill but instead, I walked out with this….



before I left for Japan in May for a holiday, I dropped by JLC Starhill to send one of my JLC for service and ended up checking out some dive watches. I fell in love with the JLC Diving Alarm but I told myself to be rational and not go on a binge buying spree...

When I was in Japan for 2 weeks I came across and liked 2 watches, so I told myself that the JLC Diving Alarm will have to wait till 2013 because the GS SBGA031 titanium and Ananta Naoki Sakai Limited Edition (Black PVD/DLC?) even combined, cost a whole lot less, so I ended up buying these 2……... and so I thought that I was going to be happy for the rest of 2012






HOWEVER………………………………………..a forummer posted a picture of his JLC Diving Alarm several days ago and the images of the watch I saw in the metal at JLC Starhill came back to haunt my heart & mind...…..

I couldn't sleep since then, so…………………………………………………………………………
 






I simply had to go out today and get myself this, so that I can get a good night's sleep and not let it affect my work as it had been for the last few days…..










Somebody, please do me a favour and find me a good psychiatrist……….
I've pre-spent my bonus for 2012/2013

hi bro

from the watch that you buy, u look afford on it,
should be no problem still can go on,
i think the problem you should worry now is how you gone wear it?

bro in a year u bought so many?

i see what happen to you now, which worry i might become like this in future,
if you can over come this problem, need you to share out, i need those advise.

hahaha,

[sean]

I need help also , I seriously attacked by the W.A.S virus. Just cant stop thinking to get another new watch , even though I have brought 4 new watch for 2012.

[JOS2012]

nothing to do with affordability…...
I used to own >30 watches since I started buying watches but last 2 years I force myself to sell down to only <10 watches..
My resolution for 2012/2013 was to keep only 8 watches that were special to me…

wearing them is no issue… wear 1 per day….and you already wear 7 watches/week..

my worry is that its only June and I've bought 5 so far… luckily I do not have any other watch in mind except 1 more model which will only be released Q3 this year….so hopefully its still ok...

You guys going Loco....... me three...

[G.MAC]

Went through this. Believe me, the only way is to keep on buying. Just maintain a high liquidity collection. Sometimes we are just tired of what we have and want a change.

[chrisyen]

Oh...

U r sick!!! But lucky u can afford for the medical bill n the medicine is not melting

U hv a lucky sickness

[JOS2012]

I've been through this many times before….that's how I ended up with >30 but last 2 years I was very disciplined…thought I had finally matured…..as a WIS that is...

[JOS2012]

I'm glad there is more of us…

[JOS2012]

anyone can afford too.. if they are willing to sell 10 to buy 1.. like what I did…..

but then if you want to keep the ones you have, while buying new ones…then you have a BIG problem….

Oh...

U r sick!!! But lucky u can afford for the medical bill n the medicine is not melting

U hv a lucky sickness

[chrisyen]

I hv similar syndrome actually
But instead of buying medicine
I used to spend time research how to make a project watch
Scratching head everyday To get the project done help me ease through
Normally I use few mths to get one done so... I survive well till now... Less than 30 at 1 time!!!

Now after 3 purchases this yr... I m now on task for the new project watch Mwf !!!
So I will hv few months gd sleep

you can be too.. if you are willing to sell 10 to buy 1..

but then you want to keep the ones you have while buying new ones…

Oh...

U r sick!!! But lucky u can afford for the medical bill n the medicine is not melting

U hv a lucky sickness

Have to slowly cut down the medicine dosage
The maxbills for ur missus might come in this month 

[Godzillaz]

You're hopeless.

I can only see this is the end for you.

Congratulations on the JLC

I told you that once you try it on your wrist it
would be difficult to get off

Love your perpetual GO, I'm actually eyeing
the PML XL grey dial myself

There's just no cure.

Wear it in good health

[JOS2012]

ummm.  sorry to tell you that she also bought something she really liked on our Japan trip…a JDM Orient Star which is really very nicely made obviously with their own in-house movt and at a price similar to an entry level ORIS with an ETA. Comes with a solid link bracelet, sapphire glass, display back with nicely finished movement & decorated rotor….

Have to slowly cut down the medicine dosage
The maxbills for ur missus might come in this month 

[JOS2012]

Sorry, master…
I know I know…I only see watches all around me each time I close my eyes …..counting down watches to fall asleep...

Que sera sera..

You're hopeless.

I can only see this is the end for you.

Although I'd seen the NSA at JLC Starhill in May, I thought I had gotten over it when I got back from Japan with my Grand Seiko & Ananta LTD….until you ….yes you….      posted a picture of it to bring out the flashes of memory from the recesses of my mind….

Now see what you've done…. you've made me spend my bonus even before I've got it in the bank….

but yes.. you're right… its hard to take it off once it's on your wrist….lovely piece of art….thank you….

Thanks on your compliment of the GO Perpetual.. that watch was really on my mind from time to time since it was launched in 2010…it took me that long to make up my mind and to set funds aside for it….

I'm still keen on the PML XL with the grey dial….

[JOS2012]

Didn't you get a Ball then a Speedmaster then a SMP all within the last 2-3 months???…just answer yes or no…. ?

GS and JLC my pick ! 

[takashi78]

Nice pick up on the JLC!

If i were to get i would have got it in that strap as well.

[JOS2012]

The NSA comes with 4 versions of strap/bracelet.

thanks but actually I liked the articulated rubber bracelet.. you've got to see it, put in on and feel it on your wrist to appreciate it BUT that bracelet costs
RM 6,500…OUCHHHHH….. an extra RM 6,500 over this leather and fabric insert strap…
I've ordered the rubber strap as an extra option….
OTH the titanium bracelet is very finely finished but doesn't really make the watch look good..

I would have ranked the rubber articulated bracelet 1st, this leather/fabric insert 2nd, the rubber strap 3rd and titanium bracelet last in terms of matching the watch….

Nice pick up on the JLC!

If i were to get i would have got it in that strap as well.

[jefflwc]

Ok, after reading all this, I feel that I'm not alone, and I can take comfort that all the 4 watches that I bought so far (in less than a year) are not exactly in the luxury range....yet.
But then, JOS2012, you have some great collections there, and if I were in your position, I'd be glad that I've contracted this disease!

[Gigi]

Congratz on your JLC  Looks cool to be honest

Dear Joseph,

It saddens me that you appear to have forgotten my Navigator. To re-administer the poison .....no, no, no I mean - to refresh your memory - I have reposted an old pic........
