Watches are pretty easy too - Constellations (with one notable exception)
The hunt and anticipation is a huge part of the fun of collecting but the joy of owning and wearing never dulls for me
One good move is to live abroad and leave half of your most prized possessions at home
It's like having a whole new set of watches all over again to enjoy for the first time
Same applies to Mrs Peemacgee 😉
