What do you enjoy most about this hobby?

I'm starting to ask myself what I really want out of this hobby. Is it just a hobby or is there more... I'm considering, like many, finding a way of making it a part of my livelihood. I've done that i...

Do you keep track of your collection? If so, in a spreadsheet?

I started a spreadsheet for my collection a few months ago because I have terrible memory and was forgetting that I’ve had certain watches. I also wanted to see if in fact this hobby was costing me an...

Yes, a spreadsheet

I can sympathize with the current situation. Fortunately for me I’ve had this for 3 years. I’ll be honest… I thoughttttt about selling it when I saw what they were listed for on C24 but ultimately decided to keep it. I still enjoy wearing it a lot and probably for a long long time! I’d recommend an anOrdain to anyone that isn’t bitter about their waitlist.

I wouldn’t say it feels like a completely different watch but the wrist presence is much louder. Orange is one of my favorite colors soI’m enjoying it!

Thanks. Putting these on straps gives them more summer vibes but this is basically my year round lineup 😂 just missing my humble Apple Watch which gets daily use for exercise tracking

It's rare but I've gotten complimented on my #anordain Model 1 pink dial and #gshock both at restuaruants. I'm usually the one saying hey nice watch to people.

I must say that my Japanese, German, and Scottish watches pack a punch but I'm not a freak–I'll never go full Swiss-less...or will I?

Well that was quick

I had it in my cart, was going to pull the trigger, the handmade sunburst dial, and then... the stupid captcha popped up out of nowhere asking me to v...

Are watch shows like IWJG places to find deals for your personal collection?

Found myself watching the Roman Sharf YT channel and thought maybe I could find a good deal but I’ve never been.

Yup I go frequently!

Depends on the show and dealer.

This is my dad’s watch.

He died 9 years ago and although time has dulled the pain of losing him, I still miss him. His watch has a superpower though. It reflects all of my em...
