Some addictions are harder to shake than others. An addiction to records by the Foo Fighters, for example, can fade within hours. A heroin habit, on the other hand, can take a little longer to kick.

Somewhere in between is Tomvox1’s addiction to Rolex GMTs.

I was sure that this 6542 was the only GMT I would “need.” After all, when you have the rarest variety, who wants any other kind? Well, clearly I had not come to grips with the fact that I was rapidly becoming a vintage watch addict and “needed” to get examples of the other types of gilt/gloss GMT’s out there.

An enchanting read and a lesson for us all – too many Rolexes are never enough.
