My collection has always been a moving target, but I would like to get it settled down for a while now and enjoy them

I am a keeper. Generally, I hesitate to buy new watches (unless I know a model change is coming up, etc.) and make sure that I give myself time before spending. Because of this, I wind up with watches I like for the long haul.

If I could upgrade by flipping, I'd flip.

I've given a TAG and two Omegas to my son-in-laws over the years but each of my three Rolex watches is here to stay. Sub LV for casual wear and water; DJ for dress, and GMT IIc for dress, casual, and travel. I keep looking at all these new watches and I can't come up with another one I want. I hope that doesn't get me kicked off the forum!
