Headed to the bank to re-Mortgage my home....This hobby is a Disease....!!!!!!
TRF is a conundrum....
But as always, I aim to start a thread that possesses greater quality content than than the following...(Nice try Arnie...  ): So here's my attempt to ask for direction, using pictures, hot girls and fireworks....!!!! and lots of it!!!!  Over the last few years, I've accumulated several watches and found out that I only wore a couple...the rest sat, collecting dust....I discovered and started following the philosophy that I should purchase my favorite watch from every brand I like, instead of owning several random watches, acquired over time.... I started divesting from my watches and using the funds to purchase a perfect line up (my perfect line up)...I'm 3 into the New line up and I'm already showing symptoms of the disease...... I'm out of control, seriously...! I'm concerned that i will end up with as big of a line up, except at 100X the value....  I'm a very visual person....So I decided to put it all on the screen to help me visualize where I'm going....maybe help me see the similarities between some watches (perhaps to be considered redundant....) This is where I started (I had at least another 10 vintage Omegas, Geneve, etc....way to many IMHO) - Most have now been Sold  This is what I have acquired recently (Kept the Breitling Navi World from before)  This is the Pool of Watches I'm after.....Several redundancies for sure...

Anyone ever tell you you have expensive tastes? Great start on your latest collection.
I collect expensive pocket knives, and made the transition from quantity to quality, and settled on 10 (not many in the knife world). Of course, then I switched to Rolexes. |

I don't have a mortgage payment anymore .....sometimes I want to "refinance" and use our house as an ATM for cars and new watches but my wife would be filing for divorce .....not worth it.

Don't re-mortgage, just sell the house. You only live once...

You guys must be kidding . . .
Selling your home for some watches ? We'll why not . . . maybe I would do it if I didn't had a daughter . . . But I rather give her a roof above her head than a nice watch to wear . . Anyway the watch she will get from me also HAGOne

I'll play, how about the PP 5980 or the 5712 to start? After that maybe the RO? Then I have no idea! Good luck!

Great choices in my opinion! The 5980 is no longer in production and the RO is amazing! :thumbup:

It's just money converted into a different physical asset with depreciated value.
So rotating your pool of watches to suit changing tastes makes sense

Your pool of future watches looks like a good place to start.

Hmm I say sell everything you've got and play it on 17 black at the nearest casino.
As soon as you collect your winnings, buy the inventory out of the nearest AD and then start applications for the goooood stuff :)
