What remains...

Current watches:

SINN 556 IB

MONTA Noble Pink LE

TRASKA Summiteer Black 36

SUGESS Chrono Heritage 442 Special Dial

Thats it. Four watches.

In 2023 I have purchased 50 watches and sold/have up for sale 74 watches.

Have several inbound but they won't arrive until January-June 2024 as some are pre-orders.

No major plans for 2024 but 2025-2026 will finally grab a vintage 36mm Day-Date yellow Gold with champagne dial (have wanted one since 1987 and time to quit pissing around).

Inbound in 2024 (ordered/paid for):

CASIO AQ230A-2A2VT

VAER S3 36mm Cal Field Quartz White

CASIO AE-1200WH-5AVCF

CLEMENCE Munro Ridgeline

LORIER Astra Cosmic Blue

Watches that have been gifts that I will never part ways with:

ZHONGSHAN VCM

HKEd Emperor Diver

CERTINA DS-1 125th Anniversary

CUSTOM BUILD 62MAS BigLove Edition

TUDOR BB58 925 M79010SG-0001

DUFRANE Waterloo Linen/Rose Gold

My grandkids' birth watches. Worn when each was born, worn the first time I held them. They literally cut their teeth on them. Will continue to wear each's watch to all their "firsts" and give to them after high school graduation.

Interested in your thoughts on the gifted watches. Do you not view them as part of your collection? You say that you only have four watches, but you have some bangers in the gifted category that I assume you wear with some frequency?

I do wear them regularly. And since they were gifts, not purchased with my funds and sentimentally priceless, they are not part of my "pursuits."
