    I hate to hear English as a Second Language (ESL) speakers apologize for their language skills. It makes me feel really stupid.

    Your English is particularly good.

    Patience-not jumping at the first deal that comes along. As my father always said "don't be in a hurry"
    even when the $ is burning a hole in your pocket
    Studying, reading, seeing and handling as many watches as possible
    And as above a knowledgeable, reasonable, and helpful watchmaker who is willing to help you learn
    I think I have 2 of the 3-still working on #1

    Next time you're looking for an "expensive" piece let me know. I'd be honored to wear it on my "business" trip to SP. lots of red eyes out of JFK every night.

    Apart from the long list of 3 things, and related to Patience, you need Time.

    Lots and lots of time.
    perhaps that is why watches are attractive?

    Is the above list an extension of 'The Ten Commandments'?

    Thank you.

    Hey now, that's not true at all. You can be a wristwatch collector without arms. You just can't be a wristwatch wearer….. unless you get extra long straps and use them as necklaces.
