    There's nothing like rationalising and downsizing is there??....I've learnt now that it is a fruitless exercise...the last time I tried I sold two, then bought 8...in a week :oops:

    I like your comment. I say to my wife I'm happy with the collection of watches, then purchase another one a week later. Weird...
    How many watches do you now have?

    Well it generally fluctuates between one too many and not quite enough :whistling:

    I used to sell watches to buy watches, ............then I realized .........that you can sell your other things and buy watches :rolleyes:

    I've managed to cull the herd lately, even while buying more. I have become quite brutal about selling watches that I don't enjoy wearing as much or as often for whatever reason.

    Those empty slots do beckon though...

    My kids have a college fund.

    If I (or we, not sure yet how to persuade her) decide that one goes to college... Perhaps hold The Voice like auditions to determin who.... Then more buying power would be unlocked!

    So I now have two in the pipeline. That makes three in 2017. Problem with OF is that you think " I'm interested in ........" and magically a PM arrives or a for sale sign gets posted. :eek:

    I need a culling ... any thoughts on how to be brutal? Everytime I try, I find a candidate, decide to wear it for a few days, fall in love again and back into the box it goes. ::facepalm1::

    My problem is that mine graduated and the tuition payments I wasn't making turned into watches!

    That's known as Squirrel disease. You have to be very careful, I've seen it wipe out whole collections. :eek:
