Well, really is not so much expensive to ha a really good watch for a reasonable amount, with us collectors the prblem is not quality, we know where, how and what to buy, the problem sometimes is quantity. We all have this beautiful "problem". The moment you start buying or trading watches you stop being a collector, from that moment you are a person who has a lot of watches.
I absolutlutely do not agree with that statement................the trading (and/or selling) of watches does not make you any less of a collector than someone who does not trade them. I have art work that that I have collected for years that I have sold/traded when the timing and circumstance are right.
There are many valid reasons to sell or trade watches. To take the position that that somehow makes you a person who is not a collector but merely an accumulator of watches (and perhaps I mis-read your statement) seems to me to be condescending and elitist!
Does looking for a bargain make you a "cheapskate"?
