Got some of my favorite little every day carry items out. Cleaning these things up a little. Not sure whats going in my pocket and on my wrist today yet. Sometimes its fun just to take things out of your watch box and hold things in your hand, glance at the movement and appreciate what you own. Back in 2008 when things were bad, I couldn't imagine owning one of these things. Sometimes when I take watches out of the box and just hold them it reminds me how lucky and how fortunate I am. Took this pic last night and posted it in the Show your watch and folder thread but took a little effort to get it right in a group shot so thought it was worth using here today because I really like the way it came out and it has my other two little hobbies I enjoy which are semi custom knives and high end flashlights.
With the exception of few heirloom pieces in a safety box, this is The Collection right now guys. I been quiet lately, selling off a lot of things. Came down to owning too many watches that were just sitting in drawers because I had no time to wear them. It almost felt like a sin to have these things that weren't getting love. Not because I did not like them but I just did not have time to enjoy everything I own. I kept 4 that I felt were different enough and its more then enough. Been doing a bi weekly rotation and I feel its the perfect amount of time to wear one watch. With the money from the things I sold off I was able to donate a little to my favorite local charity and have enough left over to book a cruise trip for my 5th anniversary for the wife. So I do miss some watches but all and all its a win-win and I feel good!
Kudos and hats off to you JP..
that's an awesome move you did there.. and that 4 watches are really stunning selection... if i were you, those 4 watches plus a g-shock would be more than luxury for this lifetime..
