I've definitely fallen prey to this, but only when it comes to watches. I still drive a 12 year old car, still wear reasonable clothes, etc.

I have pretty much replaced all my sub $200 watches with watches around the $1,000-$2,000 mark as my income has increased. What I haven't done is jump to the >$5,000 realm and I haven't grown my collection. It's still one in, one out and I don't consider a $5,000 diver if I have a $1,000 one that I love immensely. So, it's a controlled obsession to some degree.

A friend of my son's just committed suicide, so this seemed fitting.

commented on Do you have more than 3 watches from a single brand in your collection? ·

Right now, I have 13 watches, four of which are Seiko's. I don't have more than one watch from any other brand.

And only one of them is a Seiko 5. The others were all more expensive Prospex models.

commented on Your Fav Microbrand? ·

Does price matter? To me, you are a microbrand if you basically have limited infrastructure and limited production runs. If you are less than 5 people and are making watch runs of 500-1000 pieces each time, then you are a microbrand regardless of what you sell those watches for.
