·So far in 2022 I've sold 6 watches and have bought 4, with a net balance to me of $6,500. That's as good as I'm going to do this year.

·I too have yet to purchase a watch.
I would love to purchase a wearable Omega GMT. Aside from that just waiting for Omega to release a Speedmaster I like for the Speedmaster Decades Collection. But we are only two years into the decade, so I will be patient.

·No watches yet this year... not one.
bicycles seem to be breeding in the garage however, since spring started a mid eighties Gardin 400 racer and a really nice ‘77 Centurion Pro Tour have appeared... imagine that. The mailman is continuously dropping packages of parts at the door as well. Now the hunt is on for a nice clean Suntour Cyclone GT rear derailleur.
I guess folks with the collecting bug will always find a way to waste their money.

·Been tempted but have resisted and still not bought anything this year, but my birthday isn’t far away and it’s a good excuse to treat myself.

··IG: #blubarb19Greetings!
This year I have bought way too many watches. The feast must end.
Soon I will be buried alive by these goddamn tiny ticking machines if I don't change my behavior. About a month ago I decided “no more watches this year” and here we go again. I just bought this lovely cheapo diver. It was so reasonably priced and recently serviced. Pic from seller.
I must learn how to resist the siren song of vintage beauties. Hence, I am declaring a watch fast! Starting date 1.1.2022.
A human can survive without food for 30-60 days, so let’s see how long a watch collector can last before he succumbs and makes a new purchase?
Who’s with me in this doomed and masochistic endeavor?
You have my qualified support, my friend, but once the hunger pangs start you can starve on your own.....sorry....too harsh? 😀
😁

·I bought like 20-some watches between November 21 and March 22? Then I said I wouldn't buy until January 2023. Then I bought I in June from a a friend who was unloading for health reasons. Then I bought 1 watch to celebrate a new job in late July. And then I bought another waiting for that one. And then like 9 more. Oh man. And I still want a speedy even though I blew my speedy budget on the last 3 watches. Lol. This place doesn't help at all. Thank you!

I propose that as a new technique. Let me explain : this summer before leaving from holidays I had to put all my watches away from home. Doing so and packing them, I realized how many I had and took a picture of that.... and that kind of shamed me... but not for long as I have had 2 more watches during this summer 😗.

·After reading @RevZMan123’s post I counted up how many watches I’ve purchased in 2022 and just the thought of admitting it publicly was a bit embarrassing. And it’s not even September.

My collection peaked at circa 80 watches (down now to closer to 50) and I thought I was bad!! Feeling a lot better now 😁
