I used to be a BIG watch nut until recently. They were the only material item that had me hooked. After years of wanting to get out of the game (especially after how the watch market had become) I plucked up the courage to sell all (apart from my most simple and understated piece). Freedom from the need to chase these “items” is lovely. Now I just chase sats for even greater freedom

I look at watches (at least collectible ones) as an appreciating asset class... Pieces you can enjoy for decades while they hold value. Not arguing which appreciating asset is better - I hodl - but my watches have done very well over the decades, and I'm sure will continue to.

I completely get it - I made good money selling up. I just didn’t like the way that hobby made me act/feel. Always in search of the next hit. Trying to source a watch for years, dropping serious $$, feeling numb to it, and instantly moving on to the next target. That’s just the way I was though - it became an unhealthy obsession for me. I think if anyone gets to that point with anything it’s time to knock it on the head

I hear you. I’m always on the hunt for a long hit list of pieces… and I pounce on opportunities… but won’t sell any of “my collection” as they’re all milestones I achieved.

Getting my first job in 12 years instead of liquidating 1-2 pieces now… that’s how meaningful they are to me.

I recognize everyone is different though.
