New to this hobby
I’m new here and wanted to introduce myself. The last 12 months have felt like a fever dream, I bought my first automatic watch last February for my birthday, an Orient Kamasu. Since then I’ve purchased five more watches. My family thinks I’m a lunatic now, as I’m usually a reasonable, frugal guy. I have a 13 year old car and some clothes in my closet are from the nineties.
I’m still not sure how it all happened to be honest. All I know is I like how they make me feel and it’s a joy to pick up a different watch every couple of days. For now I’m done, I’m going to enjoy what I have. That’s it, I’m glad to be here with all of you watch nerds.

Boy, are YOU in the right place!
Welcome.
Love your collection! I love Orient watches. Love the dial on that Kamasu!
Cheers!
Welcome to a bunch of addiction enablers…lol. This is a great group. Lots of amazing watch porn on here. Great collection!
Off to a great start! Your story is normal here 😉
Some great watches there. Now that you're starting to amass a number of them, I'm sure you have a feel for what's working for you, and maybe what doesn't get worn so much? Don't be afraid to sell-on the watches that haven't hit the mark, and re-invest in styles that bring you joy. It's the best way to having a collection you love, and not a watchbox with numerous items you find you aren't wearing.
Welcome to WC.

Thank you and great advice.
Welcome to Watch Crunch and Enjoy! Great collection and you are amongst friends who appreciate your watches
Welcome. I assume by this time you've had a look around and realized your story sounds like that of a lot of us. Glad you've found a love for watches and this community. Cheers.

Welcome!
You have it bad but then again most of us do here.
Some lovely pieces already. It's early days yet!
Greetings Chas , I do not joke when I say that you have to be careful because it is a very addictive hobby, buy sensibly and not on impulse, your tastes will probably change and enjoy this beautiful hobby but I repeat buy sensibly and think twice.Oh and welcome. Thank you very much and greetings
I appreciate the advice and yes it’s a slippery slope I’ve come to find out. I’ve definitely applied the brakes, no more buying for 2023. I’ve set some new ground rules for myself going forward.
