    Am I crazy or sick?

    I have more than 35 watches so far, of witch 3 G-Shock and 1 Pro Trek. I had a crash on Mud-Master so I start searching one... I had an WTB topic for it, 1 attempt to buy it from ebay (but the seller didn't want to use paypal, just one feedback in 5 years... i was afraid to pull the trigger)... During my search I found (here) another G-Shock beautiful enough to catch my eye: GPW-1000 Gravitymaster. Short story: I bought it. Very nice, very pleased with it. I thought that this is it, the Mudmaster will be replaced with this Gravitymaster and that would be all.
    WRONG!!! Yesterday I found the desired Mudmaster (on another forum, not here) and suddenly the itching has begun. 2 voices start to fight in my head:

    The Wise: you don't need another G-Shock... you just bought yourself one few days ago
    The Devil: yes, but is the Mudmaster
    The Wise: you already have an GWN-1000 Gulfmaster with triple sensor, an Gravitymaster hybrid (with GPS & Radio sync), another Gravitymaster GW-3000M-4AER, the 35 anniversary (G-Shock GMWB5000D)... What is the point to have another triple sensor if you already have one?
    The Devil: yes, but is the Mudmaster
    The Wise: where will you use it? You don't go anywhere more than 1-2 km from your car (when you go out in the nature)
    The Devil: yes, but is the Mudmaster
    ...
    and so on... the voices keep talking in my head for some time, until one of them finally manage to win with a pretty convincing argument:

    The Devil: yes, but is the Mudmaster

    So I pulled the trigger for it. Now I will have 5 G-Shocks...

    my conclusion both are true and the cure will only occur when your bank account is empty...

    There is no logic to this game.

    Not good! Odd numbers are unlucky. You need to buy one more!

    Definitely not crazy, as you were clearly sane enough (at least at some point anyway!) to buy the excellent Oceanus OCW-S100-1AJF

    Yea... I drooled for him about one year before I convinced myself that I REALLY NEED IT. I've paid a lot for it, since I couldn't find one used so I had to buy it new from Japan (custom fees as well). But I don't feel sorry for this... it is very beautiful in its simplicity.

    Not sure your options are exclusive. Is it possible you're crazy and sick?

    At least you have another watch to divert yourself from conversations with the Devil.

    Mihai, glad you're enjoying the GPW (gutted I had to sell it as it's a great watch). This watch collection marlakey is crazy, buy one then start hunting for the next.....then repeat. The GPW and the Mudmaster are different enough that you need both😁 I've owned the Mudmaster as well and it's a beast of a watch. Photos please once received.

    Hope you're keeping well mate👍

    Thanks again Toddy for the entire experience. I will update my SOTC as soon as I will receive the Mudmaster (a lot of pictures included).

    I will tell this to The Wise from my head, to have an extra argument in his debate with The Devil :D

    The problem with insanity is it’s so ******* expensive! As long as you don’t have as many wife’s as you have G Shocks....wife’s don’t last as long, and cost a fortune to trade.
