I really hoped I was cured
In february I bought my Hamilton Cooper and Traska Commuter and got my Speedy serviced. It was an expensive month but I really felt that there was no need for more affordable watches. Maybe a little more expensive one later this year or next year. A Grand Seiko maybe or a Tudor but no more of these 100-200€ watches.
Last week I found myself browsing the web and the buying bug started to nag me again.
- Seiko Quartz Chrono from Ebay. It looks fun but similar to the Flighty and the bracelet will be bad.
- Seagull 1963 Chrono from Alix. It looks great but servicing will be a nightmare and it could be too thick.
- New Casioaks with Bluetooth. It would be great but already have a normal one and two other G-Shocks that need more wrist time.
Anybody else get like this? You already have great watches but just keep looking for more.

Yep I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm fairly happy with my collection for the moment ( while I wait for contact from the Anordain waiting list anyway), but I still can't stop searching, and usually consider pulling the trigger on about 5 different watches a week! It's a curse I'm sure most watchcrunchers share!
I haven't bought a watch since August 2021. But damn if I am not tempted on almost a monthly basis to get something new. To compensate, I started wearing a few of my lesser worn pieces a lot more recently and revisiting what I enjoyed about them so much when they were getting a lot more wrist time. That has been a bit of an itch scratcher.
In the same boat. Bought my grail Tudor BB58 and then Casio had to release those Casioaks with Solar and Bluetooth AND in yellow.
We have issues 😀.
i try to refrain myself not to look to the marketplace lol. anyway that seagull looks cool, dial colour really pop
At least a couple times a week I have a watch in a online shopping cart and need to talk myself out of it. Totally get it.

I have my eye on that too! But that would be my third ani-digi G-Shock. I had trouble justifying the second one!
I'm a strong believer that it's not a new watch if the movement stays the same. You can buy straps, dials, hands, cases ... and it's still the same watch, right? Somebody help me, as I kinda already know the next watch on my hit list.
Every day!
This year i have purchased 6 watches! (2 are shipping as we speak)
all in the affordable catagory.
I do have a problem!
You are never cured - you just keep pushing the envelope. Welcome to this summit, but you’ll want to climb the other mountains as well.
