It's been 3 months for me. And since getting the Speedy Pro (yes, you read that right), I've not been wearing my other watches as much as I used to. In fact, I realised all these sport watches are a bit of a waste. And I haven't had the urge to add any more pieces.

So I'm down to three or four that I actually wear. That's about the right number for me.

Who knows, maybe I'm just in an 'enjoyment season' and go back to acquiring/flipping later in life.

Oh....and my wife calls it an "old man watch"

You read my mind, because that's the exact watch that's number one on my short list!

I believe its called hobby, and while surfing here that hobby is going to be a little bit more challenging everytime someone post an incoming thread.

I feel pretty content....content to buy my next watch as soon as I can and then another and another and another

2014 was a bad year! On average 1-2 watches every month. I can see it is slowly irritating my wife (she is no better than I:)).

I am going to lay off until January next year and then target something that screams SWAG.

Content with some but always looking.

Well, I really won't call it "bad". "Awesome" is the word that comes to my mind, actually.

As I said a fe watches ago, "my flipping days are over".

I love sport watches so I only have 2 more on my list Hulk and GMT pepsi.. Once that happens I have no clue what to do.

A problem? What problem? We like nice things!

I think I am going toward that direction, to finally stop, for at least a long period of time without any selling/buying. But it's hard to consolidate the current collection because I love all my watches. I guess I just need to bite the bullet and sell them, get the watch I really want, and stop visiting the forum...

I'm definitely not a flipper. I've always avoided the term collector.

I think hoarder fits my style quite well, although I admit, it doesn't have a much of a ring to it.
