Used to have

Post by mattcantwin » Sat Feb 27, 2010 3:06 am

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.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

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. :crybaby:

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! :shock:

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. :smack:

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).
