commented on Do all your watches have to tick certain/all your boxes? ·

I agree on the 'affordable or expensive' sentiment... and choice. But, you can definitely tick all your boxes and still want or have a different watch. Also ... I'm not advocating that everyone needs all their boxes ticked. I'm just asking what others feel/do.

I try to tick all my boxes on every watch. I feel that for whatever reason, some just aren't achieved or satisfied. I usually sell the watch off at that point. I have been collecting for nearly 15 years and I have whittled my process down... I used to be a serial flipper. Trying to tick all the boxes (for me), helps me to keep the watch longer... and lose less money on the transaction.

Occasionally I have a watch that doesn't tick them all, but is weighted pretty heavily in one of the other areas that is ticked. That is often when my internal scales dilemma on whether it should stick around takes over.

Thanks... and me too! I like how the small seconds doesn't cut off the 7 or 5. It fits like it was designed to fit this dial.
