Like a lot of people, I got really interested in watches during the pandemic when I had extra time on my hands, and disposable income that I couldn’t spend on other things. Like many, I dove head first into learning as much as I could from Youtube, websites, books, etc.
But now a few years later, does anyone else feel like they’re losing interest in the hobby?
I still love the watches that I bought, but now I’m more likely to spend my disposable income on trips/restaurants/concerts etc.
How do you keep the passion going when the initial love affair is over? And when I’m not actively buying new watches…
Wow that does sound like a lot of work! But you also got to see a lot of watches that way, and now know what you like. Curious what you pared it down to?
I did get to experience many watches that way, and yes, it was a ton of work.
My current collection probably won’t impress anyone, but I like it.
