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…
After I bought my bb58 I’m basically done with watches. At least, I’m done until I make rolex money. Which given what I’ve heard about rolex stores, might actually be never (and I’m fine with that). At the end of the day I’m only going to wear one watch and when you need to wear your watch to keep it ticking, multiple automatics become a hassle.
I like watches. I like looking at watches. But that’s about it. I bought plenty of cheap microbrands back in the day to know what I like and what I don’t like. These days I like talking to watch people and I like my bb58.
