I’ve been laying low you might say due to medical issues and work related problems.

Suffice to say I’ve just been lurking in the shadows throwing a comment in here and there when I get the opportunity.

I did see Greg’s post about the new 1WC but I don’t think I could commit at this point, still to much BS going on unfortunately. It is a shame though, I have the perfect watch for the challenge 😉anyway hopefully there’s a next time.

As for your watch culling venture, just be very honest with yourself and try and stay objective about it, focus on your end goal, which is to get that new special piece, that will make letting go of some of your current pieces so much easier. 😘

Hi Kaysia,

If it makes you feel any better I’ve bought and sold hundreds of watches over the years and while I do regret the selling of some, I’ve never looked back.

I figure it’s all part of my watch collecting journey, how else could I afford to have so many different brands and styles of watches, well unless I were a millionaire, then money wouldn’t be an issue.

If you have to um and arr about whether you love or like a watch enough anymore to keep it in your collection, then it’s probably a good indication that you should let it go to someone else who will appreciate it and possibly wear it everyday.

I used to think I would keep every watch I purchased, that after searching and waiting for a particular one to come up that there would be no way I would ever let it go, how wrong I was. They are just watches after all and there are so many more that I want to experience before I leave this world.

So unless they have sentimental value, just enjoy them and then let them go.

Good luck with your sales and your journey 🙏🏻

I'm just working on my transport logistics options from Sydney Australia, so far this could be my best option 👍

commented on Do you actually want a GADA watch? ·

I think if your a watch collector a GADA watch doesn't make any sense, that's why you collect watches, right? To have a variety of watches for all occasions, your military quarts piece to grab and go so you're not standing naked in front of your watch box scratching something besides your head, your diver to desk dive, the chrono to time your spaghetti, a dress watch to impress your friends on a night out and the list goes on.

Now don't get me wrong, I would love to be able to afford a Tudor and possibly one day I will, but it wouldn't be a GADA watch for me, it would just be an extension of my collection and worn in rotation along with the rest, just like my Casio Royal, they all have a place and time to be worn.
