Do we have any mental health professionals?

[philsterdude]

I'm starting to think that I have a problem. I decided 4 months ago to ditch the smartwatch and try out mechanical watches. I ordered a few dozen off of Aliexpress to understand what I liked to wear. I kind of like almost everything though. I just ordered my first rep from a TD and picked up one from the P2P page here. I'm starting to worry that I might be addicted. Any counsel from the old timers here (not an age reference), on not going too deep too fast?

Yes, we do.

May I introduce you to our "RWI watch addiction treatment" team:

**Dr. Alfonso @Feefo:**

Specializing in *Chrono-Confrontation Therapy*, Dr. Alfonso is a master at helping you face the reality of your replica watch collection. He’s been known to hold "interventions" where you bring your five best reps, and he shows you the original models while gently reminding you that not every watch needs to be a doppelgänger.

**Prof. Dimitrius @g00n:**

An expert in *Horological Hypnosis*, Prof. Dimitrius uses his soothing voice to lull you into a drunken trance, convincing you that it’s perfectly okay to admire from afar. He’ll guide you through visualization exercises where you see yourself enjoying a single, authentic timepiece, rather than a drawer full of convincing fakes. He can also simply distract you from reps by showing you his vast collection of tittie pr0n.

**Dr. Ignacius @Karbon74:**

The pioneer of *Strap-on Sobriety* (NO, not the strap-ons you may be thinking of. Well, maybe that too...), Dr. Ignacius focuses on weaning you off replica watches by replacing them with authentic, albeit more modest, alternatives. He’s a firm believer that every recovery journey begins with one genuine NATO strap and a stern talk about embracing quality over quantity.

**Prof. Vladimir @asusundevils1971:**

The leading figure in *Tick-Tock Detoxification*, Prof. Vladimir designs custom plans to help you purge your collection of knock-offs. His method involves a gradual reduction of wrist time for replicas, replacing them with affordable, authentic alternatives, while he secretly times your progress with his own array of originals.

Together, this glorious team of world-class experts will help you navigate the tricky world of replica watch addiction, making sure you’re on time for recovery—if not for the latest limited-edition drop.

Thanks @eBoy for showing a gif of me all constipated and for compensation for hurting my one feeling you can send me your gen Omega.

The first step of being addicted is the admitting of having a problem.

1 You should try and limit the purchases of replica watches to two a month or 24 in 12 months.
2 Try and hide as best you can any purchase from your better half.
3 Make sure to throw away all wrapping and the box where they can't find it too.
4 Lie through your teeth if they ask if that's a new watch on the wrist and say you have had it for awhile.
5 If you are spending more time on RWI at work checking new updates then doing actual work then you need to speak with Prof. Dimitrius Dr. Ignacius.

You have found the best site on the internet for discussing replica watches and welcome to RWI.

The rabbit hole awaits

Guys, who left that door open?

Hey man, it’s going to be okay…
I just keep telling myself it’s better than drugs, it’s how I cope when I think about how much money I’ve spent on replica watches, in the less than a year that I’ve been into the hobby
