Farer looks heaps cooler. And bonus, it's not a %$^#ing Christopher Ward.
That's just it. My collection is in flux at present... currently 5, growing to 6 soon, but will be culled to 4. It's all I need. And I could probably take it lower if I really wanted to.
Admittedly, it's taken me years of buying and wearing all sorts of watches, but now I'm here I can't imagine the collection blowing out again. I'm good. And I'm happy.
Go with it, man. Enjoy what you have. This is the kind of hobby where people will run around telling you your current situation is weird, and you're not trying unless you have four boxes full of dozens of watches you never wear but... (whispers)... that's all bullshit :)
It's absolutely fantastic to have a watch you love wearing all the time. Enjoy!
Now you're just getting into semantics. You understand what people mean, but just because they use a word different to what you would use, doesn't mean there's some sort of issue to hand. You're just using different words to express the same feeling.
Maybe you are just dead inside. And I say that in the nicest possible way. It's one of those situations where just because you don't feel it, doesn't mean that others are faking it. Simple as that. I know I've certainly had relationships with some watches, but not others, which hammers home that it's not an artificial construct, else I'd be running around declaring I have great relationships with all my watches. But it's a genuinely variable thing.
YouTubers, who don't have to pay for the watches, trying to convince other people that it's worth their while are somewhat responsible. But I find a lot of microbrands like to sprinkle - what I call - 'a little fairydust' on their releases, appealing to a sense of nostalgia, or FOMO, or something else that really tries to set their watches up as something incredible, when many are just cobbled together from Chinese parts pins, have generic movements, etc, and aren't half the watch they're marketed as. There are exceptions, as someone will no doubt reply. Sure, there are exceptions to everything in life. But most microbrands I can see straight through at 50 paces. They're not worth anyone's time, let alone their coin.
