here are some of the personal accounts of fellow watch addicts... (compilation)

1. When in a Mall you 'always' look in or walk in watch store.
2. When a family members says "what do you want for Christmas you always think of a watch.
3. Before you decide which watch you want to wear every day you stand there for a few seconds admiring them all.
4. When you go to a social function you secretly hope someone says "Nice watch you got there"
5. You spend more time deciding which watch to wear than you do choosing which tie to wear.
6. In Bank/Coffee/Airport lineup you check to see who is wearing a decent watch.
7. You know your an addict when you have watches on pre order, paid in full and the watch is still on the drawing board.
8. Before you buy any luxury items, you ask yourself what can you buy in the watch world.
9. You swim in your friends pool 'with your watch on' - 'just because you can'
10. When you're watching XXX with wife/gf/sig. other and you freeze frame to see what watch the actor is wearing.
11.Addiction could be when you can't go one single day without login on to a watch forum.
12. Addiction could also be when you see some hot chick and only stare at her boyfriends watch, p*ssing off the Hot chick.
13. You're late for an appointment coz you couldn't decide which watch to wear.
14. You skip an appointment so as not to miss a FedEx/DHL/UPS delivery.
15. You decide to "flip" a watch that you've ordered but haven't received yet.
16. You smile to yourself when your giant dive watch sets off the metal detector at the airport.
17. You continuously change your straps.
