Mike thmokes?

No… I just go to the AD and try on the expensive ones.

Yeah I was saying this in another thread the other day; I think social media has led to this weird consumerist idea that to be an enthusiast about something you have to collect a big crazy amount of that thing. Not everything has to be a collection.

Same. It seems like the “collecting” trend has really taken over a lot of hobbies/passions over the past decade, and watches are absolutely not immune. I believe it has to do with conspicuous consumption for social media clout.
