What can I say? Fashion, trends, urban cultures, basic speculation...who knows? It's all highly volatile and unpredictable :shrug:

think their a slight difference with some watches thou mean take the forum watch knew I would hardly wear it as it would not last long to me as very hands on kinda guy , but I was going to have it and it's there if I ever wear fancy duds , so got a few that just can't see going , but saying that maybe down the line once all the others are gone I might do but just can't see it at the minute. :)
My collection can best be described as "covering all bases." Whatever the situation or style, I've got a watch for that; except I lack a true dress watch, one that is meant to be worn with a tuxedo. The five I "need" to add are a GMT, Flieger, deck watch, tonneau case and a regulateur.

yeah total agree on that if you want to try and break even you got to choose which ones for the time, some I should have sold sooner others maybe later .. it been a lesson in economics fo sure ... my plan was start with the tat and work up but maybe should have done the reverse with how things went but all good I suppose :)
Back to your original post, most of my watches I wear because I want to wear them. The only watch I really worry about is the Mickey Mouse because it would be difficult to replace. I'm a bit protective of it so it only gets worn a few times a year. In that respect, I'm more of its caretaker.

Some people have clearly defined collections, whereas I have an accumulation of watches with different styles to fit different situations. Your Russian collection certainly defines you as a "collector," if not connoisseur.

yeah maybe connoisseur maybe as with the Russian watch there ones I want to check out maybe do a thread on then once I have checked them out. am happy to move them on for the most part mean there are a good few keepers in there got some 80's vostok that won't go anywhere and the 3133's and the pilots and the copper dial 1940's ch and the dude and the like that will stay but other not so much like the raketa world time or the art deco botock , the parnters watch the red 12 and some luch that don't hold any sentiment so will go. :)
well it's two in the morning here so suppose I should make the effort to sleep so will pick this up in the morning :)
