cost of a watch collection?
aside from the cost of the watches themselves, what are some of the other related, incidental costs you've incurred throughout your watch collection process (for example, watch winder, display case, a safe for storage, insurance, service fees, etc.)?

thanks in advance

Price of my custom Stanley watch case, $12.00.
Price of my nato and leather strap addiction, too much to even calculate.
Price of having literally hundreds of watch combo options each day, priceless.

Well at a certain tipping point, regular service costs become an overweight factor in the price of ownership analysis

Don't worry about that. The cost of flipping watches will make any incidental costs look like pocket change.

It's relative to how may and what kind of watches you own. Welcome.
