there's a large amount of self discovery that everyone goes through. things will eventually settle down. the financial aspect is a lot easier to tolerate if you are willing to buy second hand and sell rather than accumulate, especially with the forum favorite models. learning to do some cosmetic fixer uppers and regulation will go a long way too.

Absolutely correct.

I really don't want to sell because most of my watches are either ones that my Dad owned before he passed, ones he and Mom gave me, ones that the wife has given or ones that I've recently acquired and really do love. I could probably sell three of the 20 without too much pain but they're watches that I don't hate so I'm not in a hurry. The rest of the ones in my collection are keepers. Here's a pic of my box: That's one hell of a Japanese collection. Your Dad must've been quite a collector as well! I'm curious about the SKX, how do you rate the bracelet? Thanks! Actually, the yellow Pogue, the Ti 7A28 and the gold 7T32 were his. He also had a Chase Durer that I gave to our son and a LeJour Chrono that I need to get fixed. The black and gold 7A28s were gifts from my parents. The rest were either gifts from the wife or ones I acquired. I'm very happy with my collection and I do wear them all. I do, to a certain extent feel a bit guilty as I really don't wear them all enough. I guess I could do what a dude at work does . . . . he actually wears two watches every day (a bit weird if you ask me). As for the SKX bracelet, I think it's just fine. Nothing special but it is comfortable and doesn't feel cheesy. It is a Seiko Jubilee. I do prefer the President on the 6309-7290 but both bracelets do the job just fine!

Bob, that's a nice, tight collection. No extra stuff, no fluff, no filler. Enviable. Thanks for the compliment Spencer. I'm very pleased with the watches I have to choose from. I'd love to add a 6105 and a 6138 but those are getting very pricey. Glad you like my little stable!
