Bored of the collection

[JSol1]

For me it’s not boredom, but more like moving chess pieces on a board. I’ve finally become comfortable tweaking my collection based mostly on what I wear over time and working towards more diversity.
I recently traded both 116 Daytonas for a Patek as I still have 5 Rolexes that I wear the most.
To be transparent, I prefer the 126 Daytonas and after giving it a bit of time and I feel the urge to replace the Daytonas I will.
It’s helped me keep the hobby fresh by continuing to hunt…

Looking back maybe I should have smacked myself.

Here is a picture of boredom from 2015

I can safely say you zigged when you should have zagged Gus

The thing about collecting is that there are so many options, between less expensive and very obtainable models from other Swiss manufacturers, to microbrands and even Kickstarter, if you're really brave (I did one of those).

Baby steps, man. Baby steps.

What's your gold watch ?

Never bore of things I collect. Very deliberate about what I add, with no consideration whatsoever of what’s “hot” or not. So for me to add something it has to be for a good reason. That said, I feel my collection is more or less complete now and there is no piece out there that I am missing. So call it contentment.

I have no SS pieces in my small collection. Would I add something back? Perhaps…but nothing grabs my attention like PM pieces these days. I offloaded a Batgirl and Starbucks to move into PM….no regrets.

I have been thinking the same for quite some time, but haven’t been able to pull the trigger yet!!

Curious what the collection looks like today.
