Used to have

I am pretty new to all this, but was thinking about how many watches I used to have and no longer own.

They have either been sold, traded, given away or, as in the case of my dearly departed yellow dial Oceanaire, passed on.

I would be interested to hear some numbers from the real movers here, but I did a rough count,

and for me, it is 36 watches.

I don't think Paul can count that high.

I have absolutely no idea. I do remember one though.

Eh...a few...

I think that's just about all of them. There were a few I never took pics of, and then there are the g-shocks

I've probably flipped 20-25, but Glen, unbelievable!

WOW! Maybe not as many nice ones as Glen, but at least 75-85 over the last 5-6 years of being on these stupid forums, of which I can truly say I wish I hadn't traded/sold at least 25 of the "nicer" ones.

I nver intended to be, and don't consider myself a "flipper". But, if you hang on these forums long enough you get caught up in it.

Much more than that, Matt! It was like a lifetime of watch porn wet dreams had flashed before my eyes!

Glen, you're my watch hero...but, when I think of some of those amazing watches that you let go, I...can't...stop...

...and...I'm sorry, but I sorta feel like doing this to you...

Wow, I'm a total lightweight compared to you guys.

I'm not worthy

I'm at 5 that I cared about. I was too stupid to figure out this thread, so I had to edit my post twice.

Wow, thanks to Glen and others, this thread is really very interesting.

Glen, I think I just used up all my alotted bandwidth for the month. WOW.

I've gone through quite a few too. Multiples of many. Don't think I have the patience to post pics.

Rudy, was the B&R one of the regrets?

Not at all!!!! I like the B&R for the looks and lume, but I had to send it back to B&R twice to be serviced in a years time. They did send me a hat and travel case (gee thanks).

A few of these I wish I still had and others I've bought multiple times...

And a few others I couldn't find pics for....It's been a busy couple of years.
