scottosaurus Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Unfortunately I got laid off last week, so I'm trimming my expenses and putting a hold on my collecting hobby until I land a new job. I really love this hobby and I've enjoyed it since I started last summer. In order to not get too carried away, I've promised myself to only buy a new rep every other month. I started in August with a Cartier Tank Francais, then a JLC Master Control in October, and a FM Crazy Colordreams for December. My February watch (PAM 111) is on it's way. I have a whole list of watches I'd love to own, and a watch box with far too many open slots. Here's to getting a new job so I can start collecting again!

seafoam Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 You could always sell a couple to get you by . JK. I hear ya brother. Holding back on buying a new watch is truly an exercise in willpower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 That's a bad news... I hope you will find a new job soon. Maybe you could tell us what you are looking for? Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramerica2 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 That's life, you never know what to expect. I'm sure things would turn up for the best, as they usually do. About the collection, don't worry about it, it's about the quality and not the quantity anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
