    That I am finding myself pulling into random pawn shops to see if there is anything worth picking up, but more importantly to test my ability to spot quality hidden in piles of junk (since I am new to watches). Found a pretty nice Frederique Constant yesterday, but didn't pull the trigger. Anyone else have addictions along these lines with watches?

    This does not exist in watch terms, I'm sure of it!

    I have regular stops, but only pop in when it's convenient. I've been at it so long people contact me about watches they think I'd like instead of me pestering them.

    … except for a few people who I bug on a regular basis about a particular watch I really ::love::.

    Year 6 now. As for willpower, I have the will to buy more watches.

    Hi my name is Sean and I'm addicted to HAMILTON watches. Which is kinda cool as a lame addiction to Omega would be soul destroying :taunt:

    I'm so addicted to watches that....

    ...I spend more to service my watch(es) than I do to service my car

    I thought I had overcome this illness by the end of the 80s but had a relapse recently (after finding this forum)
