Am I done?

[wschofield3]

I love watches in all of their iterations, and I was always searching for the perfect collection.

I'm thinking I may have it in four watches now.

My GADA...which I wore for the past 10 days and I could not be more smitten. It's more "playful' than the AP RO and is not quite as "staid" or "reserved", which appeals to me a great deal. Love the AP RO, but for me, this is the one.



My "dressy" but can be worn with shorts and a collared shirt; my very favorite watch. This will never go away again, it's that special. No watch company does detail like GS, and if you appreciate those things, get one; now.



And the "dive style", which I have also purchased twice. Yes, it may not be everyones cuppa, but it is legible at all hours, is built like a tank and is very hefty on the wrist, which I like.



My dress watch needs are taken care of with the Mido as I don't require one often...



Of course, I have a couple of G Shocks for the tough stuff, and I want a chronograph, but do I need one? I have the EMG coming in, but so want a Speedy or Zenith tri color, but do I really NEED it?

Shouldn't I just be happy, or am I in too deep?

Argh!

Yes and yes.

It never ends, not really.

Yes and yes.

I'm kinda thinking that's the reality.

Well, yes, of course you should be happy. But isn't the perfect collection always incomplete, by definition? Or if you prefer, "temporarily" complete?

Otherwise, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much fun, would it?

P.S.: In my case, I'm done. Temporarily.

You do not need another watch.

However if you want to continue to spend stupid money on things you do not need, keep buying insanely priced jewelry.

That is what I am doing.

Ha, I guess I should consider myself also done, temporarily.

I believe I'm with you, good sir. Sigh.

It's a good place to be. Just don't expect to stay there forever.

If you truly want to be done, at least for a long time, do what I am doing. Spend all of your discretionary money on your next watch purchase. That way you will even have to save up just to get your watches serviced.

Of course this sounds just like a junkie about to overdose...

I believe we're on the same page in the same book Walter so we won't know till the final chapter is reached but I sincerely think it can be done (fini). I doubt it's very common but can/does happen. I suppose the next most acceptable thing (to/for me) is the one in/one out option but it's already nigh impossible to let anything I now have go so we'll see . . .

I've said it before but those are lovely watches, enjoy them for the gems that they are!!!

Are we ever done? When others read our epitaph maybe. You have more than what you need, and they are exquisite pieces of horological art. You even have some beaters.

To put it into personal perspective... I tease myself about how much I have spent on the frivolous hobby of watch obsession. Then I realize I need a new car... which will probably cost 3x my watch collection, and it won't last as long. It's all relative.
