... "of a certain age" and a long time collector of many objects and I´m feeling like you though I still didn´t find the courage to make a "cleaning" or downsizing of my several collections including watches.
I feel is time for me to "travel light" in this part of my life but honestly I couldn´t still find the strenght to do it but certainly I feel the weight on my shoulders of all that stuff collected and which gave me so much satisfaction and pleasure to gather during around 50 years of my life as well as the need to move to a smaller home.
So I find very inspiring your post and your sharing your thoughts. Thank you so much!!

On a more serious note, it's one reason i have no time for longing for watches I can't have or that require self-degradation to get lol, but that's because I don't think masochism is much fun

Amazing decision and it must feel good

Hoarding is not a good feeling. One feels cloistered and not mobile. I can imagine you are feeling lighter now and less bogged down by pieces you will no longer want to keep. I have given away a large part of my collection previously. It’s a good feeling ...

Rolex got taken by wife. She checked my bags before i left. She put in another piece. A Grand Seiko. Her orders were: u keep the Rolex because you like it so much. Won’t be able to get it back if u let it go, like your old Kermit. Happy wife happy life th...
That’s quite an undertaking.

My collection is small, but I get it. It sounds like you’re very happy with your goal and the progress you’re making. As has been said by others here, I think that “collecting” is a dynamic process. Thank you for illustrating this.
