I think I've hit another one.

First watch was a Seamaster 300M 50th Anniversary GMT. Got that after receiving my first "bonus" from my last job way back in 2008. Currently being serviced by Igor.

Then the craziness...Got the blue Seamaster 300M for my birthday this year.

Then a Speedy 3861...(interesting story about the bezel insert).

Now a Speedy 1861. Why not I asked myself.

I think I've lost my mind.

Welcome to the club. It’s only the beginning…

Great selection of watches that covers a lot of bases. Wear them in good health. As for the midlife crisis, I guess it's cheaper than buying a Porsche 😁

I have been going through a midlife crisis for the past 25 years. Some kind of crisis, at least.

You “need” an Aqua Terra. As a person that has been suffering a mid life crisis sense my 20’s, you gotta do it. And then and then….

Great collection there though. Well done.[/QUOTE]

Ducati’s are worse than watches. Be careful…A lot harder to keep in a little box too. Lol.

But very rarely have watches killed their owners 😗

Yay, I want a yellow duck too, then maybe a Laverda next, though I was entranced by a Hog a few months back but thankfully the madness passed.

If that’s all it takes then I’ve had a mid-life crisis for over 20 years.

4 Saab 9-3’s

Volvo C-70

BMW 428

2 Audi A5’s

Sense a trend here? But only one at a time. 😎

I miss my Saab 9000 Turbo. Driving that car was like flying a fighter jet on the ground. Saab made some great cars, quirkiness and all.

I miss mine also. But GM slowly suffocated Saab to point where at the end it was more Opel than anything else. Then GM refused to allow the transfer of technology when Saab tried to become independent.

Yep. Ford almost did the same thing to Mazda. Fortunately Mazda wised up and exited that partnership before it was too late. I drive a 100% made in Japan 2021 Mazda 6. Great sports sedan masquerading as a family car.
