These are very hard to write and you did a great job explaining the current madness that is the life of pretty much everyone on this forum. Other contributing factors such as being âoverweightâ in sport watches, or a dial color, etc. which lead you to sell only to find yourself in the opposite predicament later on having to start the charade over. What does it all mean? Most of the time Iâm thinking itâs meaningless than other times Iâm thinking Iâm doing something somehow important. Its all so bizarre, and fun! Thanks for the great post and good luck wherever youâre collection is going nextđ
Collecting Journey, Honing Tastes, Regrets and Moving Forward
There are a thousand ways to collect, and they are all valid. This specific community displays that clearly, that is what I believe makes WatchProSite such a great community. As far as online communities are concerned, this site exemplifies how varied col...
Philosophy
Using this reply title to make clear that collecting with a philosophy is philosophic. A kind of Shakespeare. I like the word constraint. Your words financial constraint is well known to almost everybody, except some very rich billionaires at watch commun...
Great story! I like the idea of a vision or plan. In my case like in yours now, overtime our plan can evolve or change as our taste can also change.
I had many watch I thought I wanted, until I actually got them and did not get any joy of wearing them for some reason! Overtime this got refined and trying to narrow my focus now with the possible exception here and thereâŚcheers
Interesting post. And nice collection!
I have said that my collection is at an âinflection pointâ and can relate. Iâm not sure whatâs next, consolidation (perhaps), expansion (perhaps), or the former followed by the latter (probably). I guess that the more I see, the more I question what I lik...
Expansion... then consolidation.
I am pretty sure that's where I am at. I have a couple "small" things on the way... But, I already know what won't last... and I have one big thing in mind that I am pretty sure will be another lifer.
I think the most important thing is to know yourself.
It's also the most difficult thing. Sometimes, it's only after we buy a watch that we realize we didn't really like this aspect of it. And the more watches we accumulate, the better we know ourselves. Our 'experience' increases, one might say. One of my c...
The materialism....
I get it, under the wrong circumstances, there can be a vulgarity to all of this, However, I put my mind at ease in understanding that this hobby is really for me and me alone. And by putting such considerable thought into the tiny aspects of what appeals...
Very well said, all of it
Though personally I will admit the âdeathâ aspect is not part of my considerations, only that my son will have them and thatâs good enough for me!
