The days when I'm looking to buy a watch tend to be the most "fun" days for me. Conversely . . . the days in which I seem content with my watch collection are as equally fun . . . almost. :)

I sat down to my computer this morning, and I know that I have a watch listed for sale/trade. The anticipation of selling that watch also brings a level of excitement to the possibility of "what's next" . . . what will be the next conquest?

I am acutely aware that I enjoy this "rush" and look forward to when these times happen. So much so, that I wonder what's wrong with me?!?!?!? :%

I know that most of you won't find anything abnormal about what I just wrote . . . but everyone else in my life thinks I'm crazy. :eek:


What say you? :t

I am in a weird place with my watches. I like most of them one day, and the next day I DON'T like many of them. It is frustrating.

Like today I am very unsure about many of them and want to make wholesale changes, but I normally take a step back and rethink my momentarily crazy thinking, lol

I also have a disease and to date I have not been able to find a cure, haha

Watches have always been a fill in for me, When I am doing what I love they are a long ways down the totem pole. it will be a long while before I get a new watch. As many here know building cars and bikes are #1 on my list, and when I am not then I will use this watch thing as a fill-in! So right now I could care less about the collection and have moved onto something else. However I will say if you get as wound up as I do when I end a day and reach a milestone then you are a happy camper thats for sure!!! Enjoy and have great moments while doing what your doing!

It is a Love/Hate hobby for me....I love the hunt, the thrill of a new watch purchase, the anticipation waiting for it to arrive, and the pleasure of wearing it. I also love to trade..... I hate when I'm broke, or when a piece falls short of my expectations, or when I lose interest in a piece. I hate it the most, when a great deal comes at a bad financial time and I have to pass, that makes me very, very sad......:WW. Oh, well....now I'm just waiting for the new Bulova Percisionist to come out this fall, so I have something to save and look forward to through the summer.

I think that all of us were born with the same "mutant gene" in our DNA structure. It can remain dormant forever or at some point, through some incident, the gene becomes activated and the obsession not only begins, it permeates our entire being................. "The Watch Rush"!!!! We're all here because as ridiculous as it is, that's what gets our rocks off!!! Me? Now that I've expressed that, I'm gonna seek out help immediately!!! LOL............. wish I could buy Rob's Kremke. That .............. wouldbe a whole lotta help!!!!! :lol:lol

Watches are now a sickness to me. Not a bad one though. I do feel I spend too much time pondering over my collections and wants. I have reached a point now where I am considering trading one of my NFW APs to try to acquire some sort of nice Swiss Made diver with an ETA 2824 in it. I have had a couple of inquiries but nothing of any decent size. Now if I could get someone with a Debaufre or Deep Blue Master 2000 come at me????? Now I am rethinking even trying to trade one of the APs. Emotions one day this way the next day an entirely different direction. I need to be committed.
