Which type of AP owner do you belong to?

Some people buy to collect, some buy to wear, some just cant stop buying! Which type of owner are you??

For myself, I belong to the type where I just cant bear to wear the new watches, I wore the 2nd hand models I bought.. Its sickening, to leave new release models as safe queen.. But I just cant bear to wear to run down its value. Cant stop looking at watches too!

I buy watches to wear and enjoy on my wrist. Figure they can be serviced to like new condition so I might as well enjoy them daily.

I would much rather have watches that I wear and rotate rather than safe queens that never gets use.

Lol. Just wear them. I can see not wearing a vintage collectible but even the grande comps are meant to be worn. If you can afford them...wear them.

To wear. I hate to say it, but: Yolo!

Perhaps: don't buy new!

But wear them for Gods sake, it's a crime to keep em locked up.

I can't wait to wear every single piece of my new AP purchased and see how long it can last on my wrist before i rotate it to other watch. In the mean time keep looking for my next purchase insatiable is descriped nicely.

I buymy watches to wear them, the purchase and waiting parts are exciting but there's nothing like enjoying a watch you love.

I feel precious about a new purchase for a week or two but then it just slips into the rotation and I wear it like any other watch I have.
