The agony of choosing a collecting path (5270)
By: afaleh : April 20th, 2021-12:44
Hello fellow watch crazies, long time listener etc I seldom post as I never feel I have much to add to the forums, but really do enjoy reading these and other forums, and as I have been struggling with a collecting dilema I thought this might be the best ...
Welcome

Member since 2008 and waited to post for the first time in 2021. Where is the time? 😉 SA, very wealthy place. Super cars, luxury watches, culture, oil. So there are also people who have a normal income. For me it doesn’t matter, poor - rich, as long watch...
Thank you for the welcome.

SA is just like any other place, there are those who have and those who don't. I consider myself fortunate.
They say

You are fortunate as we see your collection. The poor i see complain on you tube. They can hardly afford a Oris, while we talk completely normal of buying an AP, Blancpain as we buy butter and cake. Let’s say, i can afford in the 2000 dollar - 5000 dollar...
Hi

A magnificent collection you have. It is diverse yet not overly so. It is obvious a lot of though has went into your collection. I absolutely love it. Congratulations on your wonderful collection and great taste. As for the decision that you need to make,...
Thank you for the compliment

yes every watch was chosen carefully and after much contemplation and saving through hard work. They are all dear to me, but then again the 5270P is a true end game watch
Thank you,

Yes indeed allot of thought has gone into each piece, no instant purchases hence my current train of thought
.. and great timing too..

And to you as well
Not wealthy enough to own these pieces
By: afaleh : April 20th, 2021-16:03
My watch and car collection is worth more than my home and bank account combined! I believe in living life and perusing passions
Don't get me wrong...

...I have nothing against wealthy people...I'd like to be one, and many would say that I am. But unless you live in a trailer, you are 'wealthy.'
Thank you
By: afaleh : April 20th, 2021-16:02
Will do!
Welcome, great post ....

This is kind of dilemma that hits all collectors at some point on the journey. I think you have a great collection as it’s diverse. Watch collecting should be enjoyable and it’s easy for it to become all about values and safe queens. Make choices that bri...
That is an amazing and respectable collection...
By: Clueless_Collector : April 20th, 2021-14:40
Already the envy of many and I totally understand your position and dilemma. I am currently in the similar situation like you, at a point of my life after also about 15-20 yrs of collecting, only becoming more serious since 2014. My grail watch is also a ...
Thank you for the welcome
By: afaleh : April 20th, 2021-16:01
Yes I have similar thoughts. A difficult decision but leaning towards consolidating everyday
Agreed!
By: afaleh : April 20th, 2021-15:59
Both JLC pieces are extremely underrated and a relative bargain! I would take the EL2 over a RM anyday
Welcome and congrats on a stunning collection👌🏻
By: 1WatchMan : April 20th, 2021-15:48
I fully understand you and I find myself thinking similarly from time to time (but from a much more modest position 😅). That said and looking at your collection, I would say that it looks like you have the means to acquire the 5270P in the near future, ma...
great watches
By: benzng : April 24th, 2021-01:12
I would advise you to sell that are easily replaceable like the Rolex pepsi. Also you should sell those you don't wear anymore. Yes, get the 5270P, IT is a great watch. Btw, I like your style, buy something for the wife then buy the watch happy wife, happ...
