definition of a collector ?
@blomman
good question...hmm....from my point of view a collector is somebody who buys watches and store them, without wearing any of them, to keep them in a perfect condition.
At a certain time in the future he might sell some, in order to buy other timepieces. Probably he could make a profit with some of the deals.
As I see myself, I got over the years a few different brands, which are also different characters of timepieces and I wear them all - each to its purpose.
This means my watches, especially the gold ones, have lots of tiny scratches, which makes them - out of a collectors view worthless.
Thus I dont see myself as a collector and I never had sold one of my watches.
Regards, bob

In that case maybe I am not a collector…?
Bob, I like your approach – all watches should be used and hopefully never leave your watch box. I have the same mindset, all my watches I use and I never get a watch in purpose of speculation. Of course, some gets more wrist time then others… But! I have...
a new possible Term
@bomman I'v read your lines carefully and I think there is a possible answer to your philosophic question: it is a hobby !! because there is a set of fulfilled criteria: it is time consuming searching www, chatting with friends reading mags and articles s...
Some say that…
Some say that a hobby is something you do for fun without any goal of making a profit… Some say you may be able to make some profit on your hobby. But, if you do – I think that one day you will realize that your hobby is actually work and not ...
Easy!
Congrats on this new catch! What lead you to choose this one rather than a Master Geo, or another watch of the same complication? Best, Nicolas.
wasn't that easy
Hi Nicolas, first of all, for me it represent a perfect compromise between a dress and sportive watch. There had been Dewitt la double fuseau, Corum Admirals Cup GMT, Vacheron Overseas GMT, Glashütte Original Sport Evolution GMT and despite i own already ...
