Selecting and collecting

I recently realized I am not a watch collector. I am a watch selector. I select watches based on what I like. I don’t collect in the sense that acquiring more is the ongoing goal. I unfortunately cannot say the same about Liverpool FC jerseys. I collect those with a scorched-earth fervor and almost zero self control 😑 🤷🏻‍♂️

I would like to disagree with you. I think a "selector" selects watches without acquiring them. As soon as you start acquiring watches that you selected, you turn into a "collector"

Also, a definition of a collector is "a person who collects things of a specified type." Well, you collect thinks that have 2 main characteristics:

  1. It is a watch.

  2. You must like it.

So, sorry, but you are a watch collector.

Same here don't care about the resale value. Is that a tudor ranger i like that

·

and here I thought watch Collectors were folks that collected rare, pricey, antique, etc watches.

Me, my watches don't fall into any of those catagories. LOL

English football supporters rarely select their team. Selecting would suggest you have an option.

Agreed, if you're English. I assumed the OP was American like me. I once supported Chelsea and Arsenal at the same time. Which is absurd!

Haha. Totally!

However, I now live in Australia and I know many supporters of Premier League teams and although they selected their team, they are very passionate about them.

Some of us didn’t get to choose our teams. Wouldn’t have it any other way, though!

The black and the red new balance kits by far. The red new balance is not pictured. It is framed in my office and signed by M. Salah 😅

It’s about the passion for your club — not the club itself. Cheers! Your club has a wonderful history.

I remember going to an FA Cup quarter-final game between Liverpool and Brentford at Anfield with my dad in 1989. Bees were then in third division - we lost 4 - 0! The trip and the journey up on the coach has stuck with me though!
