I myself have set strict rules for when I can buy new watches, not a matter of cost, but rather to coincide with certain events/accomplishments. This way, each one is carefully curated and to prevent collection clutter.

I also agree with Logo above... you’ve gotten a lot of watches in a short time. Slow down and enjoy what you have. I feel like another Rolex is just another Rolex for you at this point.

I know I personally have a tough time deviating from my daily and one “weekender”, but it took some time to figure that out. Slowing down has given me some perspective, and helps ensure changes are purposeful. To each their own though, I certainly have some envy of collections like yours regardless.

Very wise advice!
I am constantly on the fence - one day I am content and slowing down, the next day I am thinking about the next piece.
Visiting TRF several times a day certainly does not help in that sense.

Few years back I used to think that buying a Rolex is a monumental achievement, but it does not seem like that these days.
