Its all about wrist time . . .
I am constantly re-evaluating and tweaking my collection. The single biggest factor determining the direction of my collection is wrist time – what am I wearing and not wearing, and what would I wear if I had it. If I cease to wear a piece on a regular basis, I sell it, regardless of how “collectable” it is. If I would not wear it on a regular basis, I do not buy it, regardless of how collectable it is. It is that simple. I do not buy watches to gather dust in a safe, or to stare at in their box, or for investment purposes.
At the end of the day, one has to decide why they are collecting watches. If your primary goal is appreciation in value, or to occupy the inside of a safe for the occassional private viewing, the manner in which you buy and sell watches is guided accordingly. However, if your primary consideration is wrist time, the approach is entirely different. That’s the beauty of this hobby. Not only are our tastes different, but also our motivations. The reasons each of us buy and sell watches are incredibly diverse and divergent.
For me, its all about wrist time!!!
