Decided to start this thread as I'm really getting bored with the hobby and hope to get other members' thoughts on the topic.
2020 has been - for me - a blank year in terms of watch-related stuff happening. No GTG's, no fairs, no events, no auctions, almost no watch friends casual meet-ups, no brand factory visits, no museums, nothing. A void.
I decided to reshape my collection and open for other brands instead of Omega only for 10 years but now I realize that it didn't really bring the expected fun since the main component has been totally missing this year : sharing with real people. Yes, I still can share here but you will agree it's nothing comparable to the joy of opening a watch pouch in a GTG and talk about the new incomings with peers.
Funny enough, I am opening this thread exactly one year after Arial Adams wrote this article on A Blog To Watch :

I read his post again today and have the feeling that nothing has really changed so far, or maybe it even got worse, thanks COVID-19.
How do you guys feel?
