Have you all ever thought of selling off EVERYTHING (watches, cars, boats, houses, buildings and all properties etc etc) and restart all over again? I have that random thought lately. Just feel like restarting everything from scratch.. haha I am crazy? Ok...
The idea to start from scratch (with some cash 😀) seems highly tempting. But instead of putting it again towards luxury items I would try to put it to towards something more precious like taking time for me and loved ones, giving back to society etc. Grea...
I don't need to sell or get rid of anything I just change how my time is spent. The most precious commodity is time not money. Choose who and how you want to spend your time not your materials. This is how the field is leveled. Time over money choose how ...
You can achieve this in a few ways. 1. Have very little therefore need very little. No need to make a big paycheck every week which frees your time up away from work. 2. Have a lot and make a lot. This usually traps you into the rat race. Needing to make ...
Yes. Lately a good friend of mine pass away age 42. Just 15 months ago he was still jolly and enjoying his life.. seeing his rapid deterioration in such short time frame is a real wake up call for myself and I vow to reassess my priorities.. That’s why I ...
Personally, when I embarked in this hobby I wanted to find the one watch that would make me happy, but with so much noise from friends, blogs, web, it became a never ending hobby/obsession. Now, after almost two decades in it, and over one hundred watches...
but I have started to depart from all the things in my life which I feel I don‘t really need (anymore) or keep me from the real important things in life or start to feel like a burden or simply don’t make me happy (anymore). In this context watches are fo...
Actually not because I want to restart my life from scratch but just because I realised one day I was accumulating watches in a way that I could not enjoy each of them fully so I decided years ago to downsize my collection and acquire only very few pieces...
...after some serious health problems. For this reason I had to rethink also my watch collection among other things and I had to let go all my watches with manual wind and had no other choice but to redirect it towards automatic movements only with one si...
I love the Wonder watch. I would like to acquire one someday. I hope your convalescence goes well. I know from a childhood brush with death that without health you have nothing. I am sure you have perspective on this as I do. I have a Patek 5270R and 5416...
The Wonder Watch was my dream for 20 years before I could get one. Before it was a dream that was enchanting my nights, now it is a dream alive . 5270R is surely a beautiful Watch. I was about to pull the trigger to buy a 5970 but I renounced at the end. ...
Happy New Year to you. The journey is half the fun with this crazy watch hobby. Most of my friends don’t understand watches. I am so glad we have the forum to share our passion. A beautiful watch to me is timeless and brings continuous joy. This is import...
...imagining the alternatives...what another life would be. Confined to watches and other material possessions in your original post, but it is a universal enough contemplation that could apply to career choices, relationships...almost everything. I think...
God willing, I’ll be 58 by month’s end. These train of thoughts had on many occasions crossed my mind... In my teens, twenties... and way past my 50s. What ifs... the choices would be lmitless, and the resulting consequence, exponential. But every time th...
means to me to be back when the career kicked-of - so without significant money to buy the mentioned things (watches, property, cars etc). To achieve that situation there is no need to sell everything you have - just give it as a present to other people a...
Have you all ever thought of selling off EVERYTHING (watches, cars, boats, houses, buildings and all properties etc etc) and restart all over again? I’m 68 and I don’t have the desire to start over with watches, wife, job OR anything. Ok, Maybe whittle th...
My recent flirt with “flushing” and starting again is much fuelled by the Mrs. She need to change most of the furnitures sofa and tv and tables etc etc every year and she has this constant need to do minor renovation and all the properties is under consta...
I inevitably then convince my self to consolidate with quality over quantity and that’s where I get stuck. 1 for a graduation gift 2 for Heirlooms 1 for just me But then I reckon I need a dodgy travel, daily beater and the whole record starts again
