Who here lives vicariously?
I have always been a 1 watch person. When I got my Sea-Dweller I was content in the fact that I would never need another watch and my SD would last me a lifetime. However, hanging around TRF I seriously started doubting that and found myself really wanting a GMT, ExpII and various vintage pieces.
I appreciate other brands and I want an Omega Speedmaster, a Breitling Navitimer among others but as I said I'm a 1 watch person and an SD was my grail watch so as much as I love other watches I just can't see myself wearing anything else. I really want a sapphire sandwich Speedy but in my mind it just doesn't compete with the SD. I'm afraid I would spend several thousand dollars on other watches and they would never see any wrist time. I'm wondering if I hang out here to live out my watch fantasies on TRF. I see all the members who have many watches that I would love to have, and to be honest I can afford, but I think I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm just not a multiple watch person. I would feel guilty if I had several high end watches and I wore them in rotation. For the most part I'm perfectly happy with my SD but this place has a detrimental effect on my 1 watch mindset and if a 1680 comes my way at the right time this may all be out the window. Anyone else feel the same way?
