Glad to have more than one watch

Like many here, I’m fortunate to have a collection, and glad that I do. I tend to get bored quickly. Recently I was thinking of ditching the SD50. But then I started to pay more attention to it after being out of rotation for a bit. Love it!

But do you feel like you are (mostly) wearing only one of your watches?

I certainly do.

I really go all over the place. Probably suffer from the worst of collector behavior. Go all in in a short time period, relatively.

Totally agree. I wear one watch for a long time until I find the excitement is gone, so then I know it's time to switch to my other watch and BAM! I'm staring at it on my wrist all the time again. Until the excitement goes and I switch back and BAM! all over again!

However I'm NOT mentioning this to my wife, might make her nervous...

Great sentiment, OP. I am also grateful to have a collection.

7 years ago I sold all my watches (including a SS Sub that traveled the world with me) due to a severe financial crisis. Things are much better and I have a modest collection again. Very blessed to have what I have.

Good to hear your on your feet again. I always like to hear positive things. We should all feel blessed weather you have one watch or ten. Just being alive is a blessing in itself.. R.I.P. Kobe.:{

Agree - my watches have always reminded me how lucky I am. They can also be quite the safety net. Glad you’re back to collecting! :)
