I can be the only idiot buying watches today ... Or paying for those watches we put on hold so our accountants wouldn't freak out anymore over our 2022 purchases
Could quickly change. I suspect I will get something this week. There are 38 items in my watchlist. Most are for projects 'down the road.' Then I am surprised when the auction ends. Some times I buy things and they are simply 'out of stock.' So I leave the listing to see if a second unique thing show up.
The worse is when I do not get something and there is a rebound purchase. Still waiting for one of those from the week before Christmas.
Then there are the things one feels they need but are more dear. Like a timegrapher, or a proper jewel press. Should save the lunch money for such. But the commitment, oh the commitment.
I've come close already. Something LE that I want just popped up on Reddit. I'm trying real hard to be an adult and not spend my entire 2023 watch budget in the first week.
I ordered a Genteel strap today using a special 20% coupon George gave me. I actually plan to sell quite a few watches this year, absolutely nothing planned to acquire this year.

I already well and good failed at that. I paid for ... Mumble mumble 6 individual watches on hold and a box of rocks from Janice&Fred and a couple things from JWR ... mumble mumble ... yesterday. And most of you guys saw the big drop on the Nick Hacko watch right at the end of the year. Shit.

I might be joining you in selling some things I got in my quest to learn what I liked.
It does not say wrist watch, so pocket watches seem allowable also. This one, sellers photos (thanks to David Penney for the allowance to use them).
Early split seconds chronograph. I am waiting to get it in my hands
I guess technically I didn't even say it had to be a watch, silly me. But, yes, pocket watches as lovely as these deserve a spot on the wall of early January purchases!
