Simple question.
I'm guessing this site and the way the poll data are stored are anonymous enough to warrant participation without too much worry.

Oh and I guess I would use the value of what you paid for it unless there is significant difference in today's value vs. what you paid for it (incredible appreciation, incredible depreciation etc).

My answer is - waaaaay more than I ever could have imagined and far less than it'll be in a few more years

looking at the picture of that lange zeitwerk, i would not be surprised if you voted for the first option.

Andrés G · 22 October 2013, 11:17 AM

Too much.

benlee · 22 October 2013, 11:56 AM

I seriously overspend on watches over the past year. Bought 11, sold two and still have nine. Crazy eh? For a 1st year WISer.

Now I am trying to resist buying any new watches until at least 2014.

Cesium133 · 23 October 2013, 12:33 PM

I spend too much on watches based on my income. Suze would not approve of my WIS hobby...

SkyKing31 · 23 October 2013, 12:39 PM

Iv'e spent way to much with no intention of stopping.

Zach T · 23 October 2013, 01:25 PM

AK797 · 29 October 2013, 05:44 AM

I thought Id be in the lower categories but a couple of years on trf and Im now pushing into the higher categories... God, I remember when I debated long and hard over spending two grand on a watch, now that's a service! Whoever said people and leopards don't change?

joe100 · 29 October 2013, 06:29 AM

A gentleman never asks, and a lady never tells

BeauneCrusher · 30 October 2013, 11:35 PM

I'm impressed, 10 people with $300K collections. I wish you had another category for $1m or more

I'm sure this is a common situation for those of us that frequent the various forums. it's amazing how enabling these boards can be

.

But will I quit. Heck no.

WhatTheDeuce · 31 October 2013, 10:38 AM

shnxx · 31 October 2013, 10:44 AM

Yeah the above 300K people should share more pictures or something.

Maybe they're the dudes from "Rich Kids of Instagram"

My answer: For me to know and my wife to find out...at least some day anyhow.

JorgeCCW · 7 November 2013, 03:20 AM

is never enough but now that I make the math and see how much I have spent, I should seriously consider taking a good break from buying.
