Well to be honest, I am used to trading one for another, but I want to slow down on that if I can help it. So I am waiting to purchase the next one, and the cash is not all there right now.

I just need to be patient and not jump the gun.

That's because there is a federal statute in Canada that stops us from 'enabling' Dutchies.

They are called a "collection" for a reason. You must collect & accumulate, no trades.
Looking is good, It allows you time to make sure you get the right watch.
Don't just jump at the "next good deal". For Goodness sake, you might end up with a Breitling with a stationery sweep hand.

Why do you think any of us can help you to stop, Daren. That's like asking a bunch of boozers to try to keep you sober, when we are all swigging from our bottles.

Face it, man. You have the disease as bad as any of the rest of us. There is no hope for you. Sorry to have to tell you that, but someone had to.

I don't and will never consider myself a collector. I wear all my watches and if they don't smile at me I replace them. I have a self imposed three limit but right now I am not feeling any other watch and am happy with the three I have, for now at least. So I have started the cash stash for a possible fourth in the spring. I have my eye on two models, but I will just wait and see what happens.

Of course you need to wear whatever you buy.
One of my peeves, people who buy "nice" things and then never use them.
eg, Cars, they are meant to be driven. Watches, wear them don't put them in a safety deposit box..etc, etc
Three make sense. That is partially the reason I'm holding off my "next one"
I am happy with the ones I have.

Income tax returns are coming around soon. Shouldn't you be working on getting your fake Id's ready to cash all of those "LOST CHECKS"

Man, you're worse than JJ. IMO you only live once, so just buy what you want when you want, as long as you don't over-extend your budget. If you want a new one. Friggin go for it. BTW, you are beyond help for now.
