So I’m beginning to realise I have quite a problem when it comes to watches! I always struggle to say no
I’ve sat down, had a tally up and I’m a bit shocked and have come to the realisation I need to part with a few (possibly! Haha) for my bank accounts sake
Ive also had stop telling my good lady about any new purchases for over a year now
2919 will definitely not be as mental as this!!

I’m it sure my bank account would survive long if I blew >2k a week for a whole year

But I guess it’s only a problem if it’s financially damaging, or has the potential to become financially damaging. Why are you buying ? Why five vintage Speedmasters ?

 

Why not..... It’s only 5, that’s beginner stuff on this forum

 

Well yes, but a lot of Speedy collectors have a specific and narrow focus. Given the list I wondered if the Speedys were an investment, a collection, bargain eBay BINs, crazy impulse buys, or something else. A bit unusual to have two of the same reference.

 

It’s a speedmaster thing.

Congratulations on having the disposable income (I hope) to have acquired all this. What’s the strategy? My advice is to hit the brakes and assess this pile of watches. Sell before you buy.

 

(Un-)fortunately, none at all. I've got a few on my wishlist, but with the upcoming Apollo anniversaries, I've decided to keep my foot on the brake for a while and only buy if one of the hardest to get came about. That didn't happen.

 

900 years from now even the wife might have forgiven you.

 

Apple watch? Yes you need help.

I went over the top in 2018 as well, and committed to not buying a watch in 2019. So far I'm on track.

 

Trust me he is skint he’s told me he’s started to busk but instead of money they have been throwing rotten fruit at him

 

I should make clear I don’t still own all the watches. I’ve swapped and sold for next one.

 

The Apple is covered in dust

 

Haha!!!! Fact

 

Brakes fully hit!!

 

I would say I’ve purchased a watch for every single reason you’ve given

 

One can never have too many watches, but damn you hit the ground running!

 

I think a lot of you might be shocked once you sat down and actually worked out how many you picked up

 

So, let me get this straight. This is the stuff you got only in single year 2018? If so, how many watches in total do you have? To clarify, I am being nosey because I am envious....

 

Still currently own about 2/3. Tastes are always changing. Usually it’s one in one out
