Omegaitis - A sudden relapse.
A year or so ago I suffered an attack of Rolexitis but recovered quickly after the purchase of a GMT II Master.
However I was warned at that time to stick with my older quartz watches as there were more virulent forms of this illness.
Alas, I paid no attention to this sound advice. Last November, after a visit to an Omega AD concerning the servicing of my wife's gold Omega Ladymatic, the dreaded Omegaitis virus struck me down.
After several weeks of mental torture the only cure was the purchase of a James Bond Seamaster 2531.80.
Life returned to normal after this until today, when my wife sent me to the local jeweller ( who also happens to be the Omega AD who sold me my 2531.80 ) to have a new battery fitted into her working quartz watch.
In the shop the AD showed me the Planet Ocean and once I had in in my hands the dreaded complaint struck again with greater intensity than before.
I knew there was only one cure and left the shop with my wife's watch, the one on my wrist and a new Planet Ocean.
Having smuggled the new item into the house I'm wondering how long it will be before she notices the new watch with its bright orange strap on my wrist.
Is there any permanent cure for this affliction -would yoga or hypnotherapy help to cure it ?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Total watch score is now 4 automatics and 2 quartz.
