1000th post and I was wondering....

I have over 1000 posts in a different forum, and now 1000 here with this. I went from 1982-2004 with a Rolex GMT Master Two Tone, and have gone through over 70 watches ranging from $165 (US) to $26,000 (US) each. I've bought in good times, and liquidated during the Great Recession when my company was having troubles. Just in the past two weeks I went through my latest (expensive) flurry of catch and release "flipping" only to come back to where I started in 2004 with a TT "Bluesy" although this is the later model ceramic sunburst blue.

So I was wondering....

To everyone who posts here, and particularly those who post regularly:

1. Do you see watch buying as:

a. an addiction;
b. a hobby;
c. a form of investing;
d. a case of never being content with what you have and always wanting something else;
e. all of the above;
f. other (explain).

2. Do you feel that you've accumulated either knowledge, friendship, or wisdom on watch forums, and what has been the most valuable part of being here or on other watch forums.

3. Do you feel that posting photos of watches that most people will never be able to afford is a form of "bragging" or is this a safe harbor where everyone has the same interests and no one is going to feel left out, or left behind?

So my 1,000 is really a series of questions. Have at it.
