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 âitemsâ is lovely. Now I just chase sats for even greater freedom

I canât let go the passion for watches! Sometimes struggle with wanting to sell and buy more sats but the memories, stories are invaluable.
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 didnât 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. Thatâs just the way I was though - it became an unhealthy obsession for me. I think if anyone gets to that point with anything itâs time to knock it on the head
I hear you. Iâm always on the hunt for a long hit list of pieces⊠and I pounce on opportunities⊠but wonât sell any of âmy collectionâ as theyâre all milestones I achieved.
Getting my first job in 12 years instead of liquidating 1-2 pieces now⊠thatâs how meaningful they are to me.
I recognize everyone is different though.
