Talk about irrational - I want to add a Longines, preferably vintage, to my collection. I can't find one that I like, but I still want one!

Hamilton khaki mechanical is the watch and brand that got me into this game as a new collector. I try and keep a small collection so I’ve bought and sold a few of them, but lately I have the itch to add one back to the collection. Perhaps vintage this time around 👍

No, but unlike the UG Polerouter (of which I do not understand the appeal), I can at least appreciate it. Still not my cuppa. About the only Longines I can see myself craving is a mid-40s 13ZN chrono flyback because, of course, I'm a glutton for punishment.

Not a fan of the”grail” concept, but having targets takes my wandering mind away from grabbing filler pieces.

Whenever I’m in close proximity to a Fisher Space Pen, I want another Speedmaster...which is sort of irrational in my humble opinion...

One of the first things I learned in this hobby is that original black dial constellations are uncommon. I liked them so I sought them out.

Having bought a watch from Mike before, I'm always impressed not just by the depth of his collection, but the quality - outstanding!!
