    I recently sold 42 of my watches with a huge loss. I was so tired of the game. Better now with fewer watches. I will probably buy some new ones. But will spend more time to consider before buying.

    Im addicted to watches. You’ve got me thinking about splurging on my exit watch ( really, it was already on my mind ). But will it actually be my exit watch? It’s keeping me up at night. 😂
    But NOW I have a new problem. YOUR story! I need to know what happens next !! 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

      If you're questioning whether or not it's going to be your "exit watch" then you're kidding yourself. You like many of us are using that as a reason to purchase an expensive piece, however like with all your other purchases the honeymoon period will wane and you'll be back on the web looking for that next fix. Such is the hamster wheel of watch obsession. You either get off completely and regain your sanity and prospective or the wheel keeps on turning. ✌🏼

    I hope this isn’t foreshadowing, McMahon. You’re not planning on selling all but one of your watches, are you?!

    Addiction whack-a-mole! Was passionate about credit cards. Once I got all the cards I wanted and no longer desired new cards that’s what made me get into watches. 😢😅

    With watches less is more 1 and done is perfect but if you cannot manage that then keep the collection at 7 max. I'm getting there, currently have 5 but looking to buy the new Tudor Monochrome 41mm. My aim is 3 in total eventually or maybe 4! Tudor Monochrome 41, Tudor GMT, Tissot digital 35mm and Seiko SNE573P1 are the 4 and done hopefully.

      I have a double bar single speed Dutch bike, a hand made ATB and a German randonneur bike. But I've never heard of a boutique bicycle. What are they? And ridable isn't that a pre requisite for a bike?
