I was so glad to see Kelly's post. Having been disparaged as a fickle flipper!?.. it was a relief to find that I am in fact...
..an Enthusiast! *(..sounds so much nicer, dontcha think?)
Always keep a couple of beaters around, usually have a couple of nice divers, and my pitfall is the couple of slightly Nicer divers I try to have on hand as well. Those are the ones that raise the boss's eyebrows. As in.. " and how much did THAT cost!?"
While I'm not one to intentionally churn watches, I have been through more than just a few in search, not of Grail watches.. but in search of the ones that just really fit. Fit my wrist... fit my lifestyle.. fit my wallet..
Too many other interests to "collect" watches per se. Sure, if I parted w/ a few hotshot bicycles.. couple of motorcycles.. scads of musical instruments.. and a safefull of "noisemakers".. my consciense would allow a bunch (adjective. precise southern term denoting volume or quantity) more divewatches. But I've settled on a number, and that number is 6. Got 6 slots in the box, work 6 days a week, not too many to justify to SWMBO (..and how many purses do you have again Dear?).. not too few for me... Just right!
*(okay.. maybe 7.. Box full and one on the wrist!)
Don't need any collectable watches, if it's too nice to wear & risk a ding or two.. it's too nice for me. Don't need any status watches, if it's stainless w/ an ETA movement it's value tops out at a rough ceiling for me. Not gonna pay an extra 15 or 25hundred for a name.. don't care what name it is!
SO.. I'm an Enthusiast! Judging by the number of times I've used the term "catch & release" or CPR (catch, photograph, & release), maybe I'm a pretty hard core enthusiast... maybe even an overly-enthusiastic enthusiast. But an enthusiast none the less!
At lease that's my story.. and I'm stickin With it!
