Well I was going through some files on my computer that I use to organize and keep track of my watches and I found some pictures of my watch boxes from various dates. I joined this forum in April of 2013 and here is a picture of my one and only, at the time, watch box I happen to take in April 2013...

There are only four watches left here that haven't been sold or will be sold...the Electric Blue SMP, the SS Constellation, the Breitling SuperOcean and the Wittnauer Geneve.
Now for recent picture of my "watch boxes" with current inventory...

Looking back since April 2013, and with one watch due for arrival on Monday, that makes 18 watches purchased in less than a year. Now I know there are some here who have much more of a problem than I but the point of this thread is how enabling this forum really is and your all welcome to share your stories...so I'll start off...Hello, my mane is Hijak and I'm a watchoholic!

Know what's cool about this thread? It's gonna remind me of all the Enabler and Facilitator points on my account. In just the first post alone, there are several watches that were - directly or indirectly - recommended, sold, vetted, or previously owned (or some combination of those) by the evil ulackfocus. 😁

I love this shit! 👍

I can honestly say I have never told anyone to buy a watch.😀
I also tell a lot of fishing stories too.

I call bullshit! Pretty sure you told me to purchase the SMPP when you called me at work that day, starting the conversation with "there's a watch on __________'s website you need to buy right now". I think I hung up on you somewhat abruptly when I saw it on the computer.

Hey, if you want to keep a spare two grand around for emergency purchases I can add you to the network of text / phone enabling & facilitating. 😜 You might get lucky and only spend $50 on a buckle the first time you're contacted. As gatorcpa says "Fifty bucks never killed anybody". (or something like that) He also says "I love spending other people's money!".

OK, maybe a few dozen or so, but other than that 🙄

Your call was the reason I sold my 18K 145.006 Seamaster 321.
