When my wife tries to hold my watch hand, too many rings for my liking

C is actually my reality

Not having enough money to support my addiction.

Fear?🙄

·

It's a mix of B and D for me, but that's purely because I have a handful of watches with heaps of sentimental value and great stories attached. I don't want the next owner to see them as "just a watch," so I want to make sure that whoever gets them after I croak will love them almost as much as I do.

·

Biggest fear is either losing a watch in the ocean or having my entire collection stolen.

·

I guess D? Spouse knows my full collection and is supportive; she is a Sneakerhead along with other collecting habits. Two of my three kids are into watches already. I really have no concern about crappy watches, as I collect very deliberately. So - yeah, getting my favorite watch stolen would be my fear.

If your fear is 1, you are a true collector

If your fear is 2, you need to wear them all

If your fear is 3, you have a problem

If your fear is 4, you have very few good ones

So then it’s importan to tell everyone the story behind each one of them….

Well you can lower that risk by finding a good hiding place…

I chose A, but only because "Being eaten by a badger" wasn't an option.

That's not my fear, it's my reality

·

Not really a fear but I do hide my watch box before leaving the house.

The silent foe:

Servicing Costs 😱

Actual biggest fear is somehow loosing one of my heirloom watches.

5.All of the above

No. No fear

·

None of the above. My wife knows. I won't be alive so it doesn't matter. I'm very pleased with what I've bought. They're insured.

·

My biggest fear…that when I’m gone my wife sells my watches at the price I told her I paid for them... 😂

·

I'm absolutely not worried about being robbed while wearing my wife's favorite that I have. Lol, $90 quartz.

·

This is so funny 🤣

·

Mine is being robbed when im not wearing my most valuable or liked watch

I have too much evidence. Boxes everything, tools, magnification, and the list goes on. If they are in your house they will find the evidence to rip your house apart. Taking your case and leaving is more likely that a ripped apart house.

·

Having no space is the real fear

·

I do not want this comment to come off sounding dark or pessimistic but my greatest concern for my collection of watches and my addictive need to still add more is enough heslthy years to enjoy wearing them. The number thankfully remains vague, yet to be determined by events, too many that might be not under my control. Haha.

It's when they find the cash and white powder they know there's a Rolex in the house..... 😜

That I don’t have enough money for the next one
