This stuff is like an addictive drug...

Hahaha. I know exactly what you mean.

3 months ago, I had 3 watches. Bought a 4th one and decided to get a nice 12 slot case.

Now I feel like I have to fill it.

I'm up to 9 watches now having sold 2 recently.

I've been addicted to drugs before and this is a harder addiction! Lol

I somehow justify buying a $300 rep bc well... It's a lot cheaper than the $10k gen.

For some reason this means I should keep buying them.

I won't buy another case.

I won't buy another case.

:lol:

Nice collection you have there though.

THIS is a bug...

Like we are saying it an affliction. Same here had a 4 watch winder when I joined the forum, bought an 8 then had to fill it. Then both full so sold a few and gave my buddy the 4 winder. Now I have a deal with myself to only have 8 at a time. So when one is coming one goes on the sales board. Problem is sometimes they need work I can't do and that means sending them out. Then a empty slot is hard to look at so....think I have gone through 20+ pieces in six months. Tomorrow my GMT Franken will arrive and fill the last slot but my TC is out for repairs so something is going up for sale:) and I started sourcing parts for a 1016 build today and another DJ with Matt.

Man I need HELP!

I'd like to tell you it gets better, but that will be what critics call "the full Pinocchio" :D

Well, looks like a common bug so :D

My receipt to move further is to try making from just a collecting hobby to something deeper like working on them (i.e. doing my watch service etc).

Just hoping not to kill too many of them :)

I bought this beautiful case at Acetimer, that is just 5 minutes drive from my house. Really beautiful rosewood case, big enough slots, and well made for $110.

Actually... Not sure I'll ever get a winder... Leaving the watches on it consume them a bit for nothing... At most I can take a single one, to use as a charger when I choose the watch I'll wear the day after...

That's if you have only 8 watches. Looking at your impressive collection, Luthier, there's no way you can cycle your watches through an 8 watch winder and still have all of them keep correct time and date.

I understand this obsession whole heartedly. Once I found this forum I felt like I was gonna go broke on reps....forget going broke trying to get the real thing! : )
