··Mrs Nataf's Other SonMy view on collecting is that once I have decided to add a watch to my collection, I will "bank" a reasonable example and carry on looking for a better example. The only problem with this is that I find selling anything distasteful - that's just me and God bless all you sellers, without whom........ - so I end up with both good and mediocre examples of the same watch. A prime example are my Zenith 133.8 Chronometres. I bought a nice (broken) stainless steel example (since mended) then a week later I bought an 18 ct. version with a not so good dial, but I'm still looking for the gold one with a perfect dial.
If I wasn't so obsessive about it, when I find the perfect one, I should sell the imperfect gold one but I just know that I won't.
You will though, one day when you realize how much cash you have tied up in the second-raters, and that you could get another first-rate watch without the trouble of finding more dough, simply by freeing some of it up.
