We are like the terrible boyfriend (girlfriend)!!
I was thinking about how terrible it would be if we were to treat our boyfriend/girlfriend like we do our watches?
You might already got a perfectly good one, but you lay awake at night looking at others. Thinking of others. Keep looking for something better. Something different or excitig. Something "perfect".
Maybe you got several you keep wispering sweet nothings to? Still you lust for the one that other guy got. Or that one with that PHAT.... eeeh... case?
I think that it's true for watches as with a relationship. Nobody got everything, does everything, is flawless and can shine in every situation.
But a watch can be good enough just like a person is. It can do enough. Do what's important for you. Have charm and be trusty 💙
But like in a relationship you will never be satisfied if you keep looking at the flaws instead of the perks. Will you ever be happy if you keep lusting for others, getting distracted by some other perky... aaaah... crowns?
You can still enjoy others beauty and good qualities, but in a good-not-creepy way.
Wouldn't a watch become truly meaningful by you staying committed and sharing good and bad experiences? And accepting that yours is good enough as it is and that's why you LOVE HER!! It... It!!
The Question is why do you want to commit to one parter when you can have all the women you want?
Twins?

If? Most people do.
I have thought a surprising amount about this and think of what John Mayer said in one of his talking watches. This hobby is a vessel for my irrational, obsessive enthusiasm. If I handled my relationships like a handled my collecting journey, I would be a single, single man.

So a outlet for your sick passions and unreasonable lusts that would sink your life if you had let it out any other place?
If you want more than one watch, have you considered communicating with your watch about it? Maybe they want that too!

A pretty extreme take, mate. You ok?

I'm just trying to understand others approach 😅
we can objectify watches because they are... well, objects.

But…in some ways, you’re not wrong 😵🫶😜

True.. But watchcollectors keeps going on about that they are more than just objects and about the relation/connection to the watch.
So I think I still got a point 😜
I think this deep and a great post.

Sarcasm 🤨?
There is a flaw with that logic. Your gf/bf is alive and they keep living their lives with/without you. Your watches(automatic I assume) stops shortly after you stop wearing them. They are literally frozen in time. So in that perspective you have spent almost 100% of their working lives with them, and they will most likely be around after you are dead. If watches are humans then we are dogs to watches. No man can have too many dogs. For they are all good dogs
Watches are not significant others - they are friends.
As such, we may pick them apart, have many, like some more than others, and continue to look for more.

Perhaps... But I think it's more what you are looking for.
Or you are just scared of commitment 😜

No sarcasm!
