I do realize some (maybe all) have less than positive thoughts of my actions (especially the financial part) but hey, it's my money and my passion. Thanks again for the comments sir!!!
Indeed. It was a compliment. No implicit criticism whatsoever. We all have different - and equally respectable - ways to enjoy this hobby.
P.S.: Oh yes - I don't remember if I've already mentioned it - it's a plaisir to see you here.

Oh, no offense at all taken, you don't have a bitter bone in your body from getting to "know" you. And yes, I am glad that I get to see your stash of lovelies here since you may not be visiting WUS so often . . .

While C's comments are true (about you being "cold" with watches), I can't help but also realize that perhaps, it is through such "sampling" if I may call it, that one gets to realize what appeals to them. Very expensive way to find out, if one is not careful, and have not done enough homework about the next acquisition. By the way, your selection of pieces has also being going up notches - every piece seems nicer than the previous one.
As they always say, it's not the destination , but the journey that make it interesting.
Enjoy wearing them!

Hmmm. I gave away a Rado Super Time, two G-Shocks, an Invicta, a Momentum, a Seiko Marine Sport quartz chrono, a neat little Seiko dress quartz, a Rodania digi-ana, a Seiko Pulsar Spoon, and a double handful of 70's and 80's Seiko LCD's. Just stuff that hadn't seen action in a long time, and wouldn't for an equally long time to come, if ever. And there's 20 or so more waiting for someone to give them a new home. And that doesn't make a dent in my main collection.

I have only let go of one piece since I started this craze.
I bought this to find out how much do I like pilot watches, and also to find out if I am comfortable with a 47mm..... Found the answers with this, not a cheap lesson but it could have been worst. It's a nice watch, I might still get one later down the path, but definitely not at 47mm.

At least it didn't take an IWC Big Pilot to find out you didn't like pilots could of costed you a few more cents.
