Collector Description
about 1 year after the purchase of my first watch
I have a "main" box with my daily wears and I have a secondary box with stuff that I either don't wear anymore but I like, or stuff that jaut doesn't make sense to sell because it's not very valuable.
Haven't bought anything new in months. The gap between each purchase is growing. I ultimately feel like I definitely needed to get most of these to refine my taste and define my goals, feel the successes and regrets, but now I'm locked in. I won't be buying a single other watch until I can comfortably afford a Speedmaster Professional moonwatch, most likely followed by a Grand Seiko snowflake. I'm very satisfied with what I have and enjoying them daily 😀
