Watch diet

[Samanator]

When I bought the Snoopy I waited about 14 months for it to come in without buying something so I don’t know if that counts. If it weren’t for the Rolexes most of the other watch’s have come from trades so I technically didn’t buy them. Maybe we should put it at the longest period you’ve gone without something (no matter how) coming in? Under this criteria I would say five months. Since I order things I never really know when they are coming in so the date from buy to receive can be quite long.

Looking back at this this thread -

I was certainly doing more than 17 in two years.

I even made a graph -



There were a good number of G-Shocks and affordable Seikos amongst them.

Pfft, amateur!

That was over 100 in the first year for me, and I’m not as bad as some

2000+ in four years

Nine months is the longest for me. This year could break that record, unless Lange releases a sports watch. That's if I count the incoming Zodiac and (someday) RGM as already purchased, which seems fair.

You bought them when you paid for them, no matter how long it takes to arrive, so I agree with your logic.

I went from May 2017 to Aug 2018, which is probably tice as long as I have ever gone before. I've bought three since the Quartz Tiki, but since I am loading up on scuba classes and gear it might be a while before I buy another.

The last one I bought was in July 2018, but only for research purposes (bronze case) - doesn't count. A proper watch: January 2017. I've been very frugal, lately.

Research purposes? Do the Rantanplan watches mean NOTHING to you!?

Still remember those?

Well thanks gents I feel a lot better about my 17 in two years. Anyone else had any success avoiding purchases by limiting one's exposure to following the hashtags? I have several hashtags that I enjoy seeing the watch when it pops up but feel confident that I don't need to own it. It feels a little dangerous too, in a good and bad way.

I stopped buying watches 4 years ago, only own one, and haven't the desire to buy any others. Only because I can't afford my other hobbies plus the watches I want (I don't like things I can easily buy). So yes, the above is me.
