Bored of the collection

[mph476]

Has anyone felt bored of their collection that you were considering unloading a decent number of pieces? I know I'll catch heat for this but I'm bored of the stainless pieces. I have 1 gold piece and love the weight of it but was considering unloading a batman on jubilee, submariner date and panda daytona for a heavier hitter. Thoughts?

It is time for a change :)

I’ve been at this a while and all I’ll say is … always add first.

Boredom is a symptom of this watch addiction disease we all have on TRF lol.

Try something new if you must, but you'll be back to good ole SS eventually.

Since I've acquired 2 PM pieces (WG Sub & YG Daytona on OF), my SS pieces see much less wrist time. I'm not ready to trade them yet but may be at a similar crossroads soon. I don't like having them for the sake of having them in a safe. I'd rather have less watches that I wear more often than a bunch getting little or sporadic wrist time. YMMV.

I'm starting to feel this. I've been lucky enough to pull together about 7 Rolex in the last 5 years and have a YM, GMT, DD, Daytona, Sub and in a mix of s/s t/t and p/m.

I do like them all, but am now leaning in to p/m and more so other brands.

I've had a Rolex for over 35 years. I find the s/s Sub totally boring (that said I kinda regret selling my 5 digit, despite never wearing it).

I now mostly look at p/m watches from other brands. I'd love a rose gold PP or AP, sadly that's an impossible journey.

I'm also starting to feel less is more. I think the less you have the more you cherish what you do have.

If I could start all over I'd probably just have my rose DD, rose OF Daytona and a rose or yellow PP or AP.

Yes.

I was bored of my collection some years back and traded many of them away….

Looking back maybe I should have smacked myself.

Here is a picture of boredom from 2015
I still have the sub :)

And bored from 2020
I still have the exp II :)

Out of all of these, you only have the Sub and Explorer 2?

Don't know what you had going on at those times, but yeah, maybe...

The sub is my exercise watch and the expII is my travel watch. Both perfect for what I need.

Nothing special was happening. Mostly just traded into other pieces. But in hindsight


The fpj was the exception as it needed service twice in two years and I just wasn’t ok with that.

Amazing collection. Any reason why you let everything go except 14060M and 16570?

Haven’t let things go as much as trading to other comparable but different options.

In the end the sub and exp II have been in the collection because they have earned their place with Perfect marks.

Hopefully other watches will meet that bar.
The Patek 5940 is younger to the collection but it has earned its place.

[jamesbondOO7]

Down to 3. Might stop there.

[996marty]

They are your watches and you can trade them for something different but don’t do something you might regret later

I haven't gotten to the point of unloading but I rarely wear my steel pieces anymore. Precious metal feels better

Gotta admit I never understood watch “boredom”. It’s a small clock strapped to your wrist. Do you want it to light up? Spin around? Entertain you?

Interesting perspective from someone who joined a watch forum. I think boredom is a fairly common feeling among collectors of most anything.

[123Blueface]

That’s why I have always thought a dozen is perfect. Never bored.

[SLWoodster]

Yup we're in the same boat. I'm unloading a stainless navy RO, GMT, and sub for heavier hitter.

i wouldn't say I'm bored. i just think it's time to continue the journey. They're great. it's just we're so much closer than beginning than to the end.

I also have a panda i will also be moving.

[Lol-x]

I would suggest that a panda Daytona is never boring.
Solid gold is an itch to scratch but you will find it a nice change up watch, but you wont want to wear it all the time.
