    It makes me super poor at times (esp ill time purchases), I refuse to sell any part of my collection but if it wasn't spent on watches, I bet I would have spent it all on overseas holiday or good fancy meals already.
    Watch collection made me richer :whistling:

    Where do you want to start? :)

    Foreign travels, motorsports. Come to think of it---that's why.

    Just sitting in the bank... or the stock market!

    I get a lot more joy out of my watches than I do the 'extra' money I might make from other investments... or, at least, that's what I tell myself!

    I wouldn't have extra money, just no credit card debt.

    Japanese carbon kitchen knives are a hobby and a great money sink. Here's one: Shigefusa kitaeji 210 gyuto:

    I went to Hokkaido and went to a knife shop with every kind of knife you would think off, they make nice hand made knife, but the end user is a bit of a novice...::facepalm2::

    I was going to collect Suzuki gsx-r 750s. Watches are smaller and easier to store....

    George was once asked where all the money had gone. He said he'd spent about 80 per cent on hookers and blow and wasted the rest....

    My accountant told me to buy more watches last visit or I will have to pay tax for having money in the bank from investments , so I am under instruction from a financial planner. (I pay a bloke to tell me how to save money and he tells me to buy watches :cool:)
