Hmm, well obviously my longest addiction has been watches. I'm a compulsive impulse buyer and usually find a new hobby every six months in which I have to purchase everything possible associated with it (only the best of course!).

Past wallet smashing hobbies/addictions:

-Brioni suits (50+ that I never wear)
-Ferragamo Shoes (I think I own the whole line)
-Motorcycles (Longer hobby, been buying Harley's for years)
-Scuba Diving (seasonal, have to buy the new upgrades every year even though we only go a handful of times in the summer)
-Cars (A new one catches my eye every few months, then I waste too much money upgrading)

I'll update this post when I find the next shiny new thing I convince myself I need

Thank you.

There are quite a few here that are pretty special. That's one of the reason I like coming here.

I'm with ya on the Onisuka...and many other "fun" sneakers. I'm still looking for a Rolex, but my recent vices were designer jeans and purses. I'm actually not high-maintance at all, but I spend a lot on the things I like.

Forgot to add my TOD'S shoes. I'm looking to buy a Hermes scarf and I'm sure that will turn into an "obsession" too.

Besides watches I like to collect guitars, amplifiers and pedals when it comes to music, otherwise I really enjoy collecting pieces of gents' jewelry (rings, chains, pendants, bracelets...name them!). I'd like to start myself a nice pen collection as well!

Hey Blacksport! Wow... Another Tumi addict!(?). Don't ask me why... but I love buying Tumi products. My excuse is I travel a lot, which is true, so I have a Tumi Carry-on, and of course I have to have a Tumi check-bag for longer trips. And I simply MUST have a Tumi gym bag for my trips to the gym... and TWO leather briefcases for my meetings and travel... why two? Well, one has wheels of course... And don't forget my Tumi Wallet and shower travel kit...


Here is a pic of just a few of my Tumi bags... I am thinking about starting a TA club.... "Tumi Anonymous" "Hi, my name is Paul and I'm a Tumi-Holic.... "

DVD's. I have Netflix, but still buy DVD's. I have a pretty decent selection [over 100].

Some film noir, Foreign, action, sci-fi and some horror. Even so, I'm picky about movies.

I also like books as well [history, current affairs].

Haha! Me too - first was a Tumi check bag, followed by computer bag, two carry-ons and a collapsible umbrella. Love the quality and functionality.

Also collect Cuban cigars (about 900 last count) and LOTS of automotive tools. I've filled two rolling chests and will need a third soon. It's the air tools that take up far too much space but I just can't help myself

All of you tumi guys make me laugh. I am the proud member of the all Townhouse collection. I have 3 pieces. The big suitcase, the 22 inch carry on and the laptop brief. Makes me feel like Mr. Monopoly when I use them. hahaha

I also have the portfolio and the world power adapter for when we travel.
