Are all watch connoisseurs doomed to become amateur macro photographers?

An impressive exercise in patience and self-control. I would fail this 1 watch experiment miserably. Best of luck to you, sir. Excellent choice of timepiece too!
Cheers! ✨⏱✨
Well said, @SurferJohn . Always appreciate hearing different perspectives. I agree — the line between enthusiast, collector or hoarder depends on the person. I personally aspire to reign in my own collection.
Cheers ✨⏱✨!
I‘m on the “you do you” train. If you like it, live long and prosper. Personally I like the weight and feel of 1 watch on my left and a free right hand (occasional leather bracelet/athletic band).
Equal wrist time with my collection is an ongoing battle so I feel your pain there. But I take it one day a time and go with my mood, outfit, daily plans (for durability consideration).
Cheers ✨⏱✨!
This is a nice debate because there are a multitude of factors to consider. I recall in my early watch enthusiast days, I was all about squeezing the most value/features out of a certain budget; $200-300 / $500-600. This was an excellent way to explore all the great value for money propositions in Swiss, German, Danish, American & Chinese markets and to appreciate different brand stories and unique/under-valued movements (In some cases over-hyped brands with over-valued ebauche movements).
Early days: 10 x $300 collection
Current: Tend to purchase less often, better researched $2K-5K+ range
Goal: Reduce collection down to an efficient 10-15 watch collection. (But I’ll always love unique quality buys found in the sub $500 range (mostly Seikos & microbrands…hence my tidy collection struggles)
