I wish money wasn't a thing for most people. I've always been fascinated by watches and clocks in general even as a child, I got a spiderman toy watch for my birthday when i was 6 and within a day i was taking it apart and completely disassembling it, my dad was furious but my mom thought it was hilarious, of course i never got it put back together but the tiny pieces just amazed me how dd all that stuff come out of such a tiny container and with it all "crunched together" how did it tell me what time it was?!?"

At age 14 I inherited a rolex submariner from a family member who passed on and I had no idea they were "expensive" at the time. I was thrilled to get it because I loved the family member that left it to me very much. I owned it and held it in my hands for only a couple hours before my father took it away from me and sold it, I think he got like $500 for it cause he wasn't too bright.

my history with watches got set on hold for many years but I have always wanted to find that watch again. but i have no way of tracking that exact watch. I knew it was a silver colored (white gold/steel (no idea which) rolex submariner. It was 1987 when I got/lost it but i have no idea how long my Grandad had owned it, it looked brand new. Of course I later tried to replace it and I learned how expensive they are, I've never been able to afford one but always wanted it.

I recently picked up the collecting hobby a year ago though and I love the beautiful pieces I could get ahold of, I know i'll never get that high up the food chain I'm on a transplant list and it's not a great time, and won't be for the foreseeable future. but I have found joy in the ones I have and when I'm able to eek out a new one I love that one just as much. It's really not about the price in most cases, but when it is....it hurts.
