The dummy spitter.

They have ruined the brand, devalued watches. I’m selling all mine. How could they do this……I only just bought my first Speedmaster 😁😁😁

The Justify My Speedmaster Purchase Guy

Tells all who will listen how he uses his Speedmaster in his daily life:

Times his soft boiled egg
Times his kids' time out
Times wife's labor contractions
Times anything on the grill
Times length that teenage daughter is on her cell phone
Times length that teenage son is gaming
Times how long it takes wife to get ready in the morning
Times commute to work
Times commute from work
Times halftime for all college and NFL games
Times length of all commercial flights that he's on
Times his exercise regimen
Knows what tachymeter is for - has never used it.
Occasionally uses watch to tell time.

"Times length of all commercial flights that he's on"
---Just did this today. Right on time 👍


"Times wife's labor contractions"
----Thank god I don't need to worry about this anymore 😀

Soft boiled egg timing, at least once a week.

The OMFG look at all the watches I must have them all NOW!

Buys all the watches... Gets bored of some of the watches... Sells some of the watches... Tries to slow down and work out what he wants... Buys more watches.
+1 on this one, except maybe that, for some reason, can't find the will to sell 😀

Which Watch Next Which Watch Next
The Just One More, and I'm done!

Keeps buying "The One", loves each one every time he puts them on, but still longs for one more. Just one more, and I can stop. Justifies the purchase with, well this one has this or that feature, shape, size or color. Does not sell any. Really really wants to stop! Maybe this type is The Addict...
another +1
I may actually expand this to 'The Just One (or two) More, and I'm done!"
I could also add even though this guy has a list, he fall down (in mind, not always in purchase) on any new opportunity that catch his eyes (quite often due to OF private sales thread)🤦

The risk-averse collector
- sticks to popular brands like Omega, Rolex, Patek and AP
- and in those brands sticks to the most popular sports models: Submariner, GMT, Daytona, Speedy, SMP 300, Nautilus, Royal Oak
- buys only black dial watches
