It can be how you assign value to a watch. Humans do want to assign value based on our subjective experience that is victim to bias,ֶ personal values, socio-economic, status and environments. This can lead to objects having diminishing returns especially if your are taking the conservative experience to re-kindle the love of your first watch. You can get a shinny new one, but it will not match the joy of that first experience. Your watches maybe more accurate, have more complications, and cost more. However they will not share that same joy. A functionalist would argue getting a quartz or cell phone for time keeping because they are cheaper and you get more for the price (for example, can you say a gshock is less functional than omega when it comes to telling time?…probably not). Although from an aesthetic argument, the omega would hold more value that also fits the purpose.

I am a therapist and see that we watch enthusiasts can be very “neurotic” about the fine details of our watches. Btw, I would much rather call it being neurotic instead of OCD. OCD is a very serious disorder that makes your like very hard and I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy. However, the latest science agrees that all people have a level of neuroticism that would line up with the obsessiveness I have for watches.

When thinking about physical space, I always compare my watch collecting and tinkering with one of my spouses hobby (needle point/crochet). While I may spend more money on my…I think. She currently has a whole room for hers. So find room to store them to give away, sell slowly, or just remember with nice memories is probably a good options. Especially when trying to sell a Timex.

Who could argue with such reasonable words.

I’m at therapist and have 10. Does that I need super therapy?

Greetings from Lebanon, Oregon. Just south of Salem. It’s nice and quiet on this trail.

Thanks for the recommendations. Chrono 24 looks like a good option. I like the recommendations I have not see before.
