    The neurotic non-flipper mid-range luxury perfectionist as*hole collector

    01. Has never flipped a watch.
    02. Builds collection piece by piece, purchasing typically 2 new watches per year (sometimes goes on a "binge" and buys 3:eek:)
    03. Focuses on mid-range (Omega, Rolex, JLC, IWC).
    04. Not happy with current Omega Dolce and Gabbana design path.
    05. Agonizes of next watch purchase as it must have a clearly defined "role" within the current collection.
    06. Enjoys the sadistic pleasure of annoying certain OF members posting "should I choose this watch or that watch" threads.;)
    07. Sadistic pleasure is exponentially raised for item 6 when the watch selection under consideration involves an Omega vs Rolex option...waits anxiously for naïve OF members to take the bait and start a general Omega vs Rolex discussion (METAS vs Superlative etc.):p
    08. Because each watch has been selected with such neurotic obsessive care, it becomes almost impossible to flip...hence step 1.
    09. As the collection expands step 5 becomes increasingly hard, leading to sleepless nights and increasingly neurotic behaviour.
    10. Step 9 leads to depression, angst and suffering:mad: and no longer having any interest in seeing photos of hotties on the forum.:D

    BTW...for those that might not have seen my other forum posts and are slightly confused with this description...I am just following the OP's original instruction and doing a self-portrait here...:eek::D

    And a variation of the above, the...

    mid-range watch braggart:

    This is the guy that goes to the chain jewelry store at his local mall, buys a Movado Museum watch or a Tag-Hauer, then sticks it under your nose proclaiming that it is the best watch money can buy, because that's what the guy at the store told him.

    This is me. Although I'm starting to find my way. A little. And I'm having issues with the selling part.

    Do we dare write about the rare but coveted...

    Omega Fan Girl

    Knows more about Omegas than you. Knows more about everything than you, and seamlessly weaves same into every post. Cannot be matched in her ability to cut and paste photos, and superimpose images. Makes daily, sometimes twice daily avatar changes.

    Everyone on ΩF ::love:: Miss Fox. Syrte too. We gotta be nice to our female contingent - there aren't many of them in this hobby.

    I like it when someone resurrects a thread that predates my involvement with the site, particularly when it makes me laugh. I can associate with almost every stereotype listed ... except the Hodinkist. I seem to have a somewhat irrational dislike of the Hodinks.

    So, let me add one more type (a me) ...

    Sees a Broken Watch that Must Be "Saved" ...
    This is the collector who rarely buys new, instead being convinced that everything older is better. Is perversely annoyed by retro-styled new watches while at the same time wishing that everything new was smaller, thinner and more like watches used to be. Every watch he buys needs something repairing. Often having more than one issue. Usually they've been drown. Always, they cost more to repair than they did to buy and will never recoup the investment in them, even though he tells his other half that they're worth a small fortune. The result is something like 12 new watches going into the collection each year while more than 50 are passed on to new owners. He still never makes a profit as each sale releases funds for a new project.
