I am done!

[Token74]

After a few years of putting my collection together, I am finally satisfied with what I have.

There are four caveats...

1. There will always be opportunistic purchases. For instance, if my AD called me offering the BB58 then I would buy one as it’s a cool watch that flies under the radar. They know I would have one, but I’ve also made clear that I don’t want to be prioritised in any way as it’s not something I’m desperate for. As such, I’m not expecting the call to come.

2. Who knows what may be released in the future. If Rolex release a new Daytona, I cant guarantee I wouldn’t be tempted. Or if AP release a tropical dial 15202 as a 50th anniversary then I would struggle to resist. Or if my Patek AD gave me a call offering a 5711 then I would probably accept. But, I’m not expecting any of these to materialise.

3. I may turn my attention to collecting the Dirty Dozen. These wouldn’t be part of my daily collection, but an actual collection mounted on the wall. So I don’t count these as watches, more historical art.

4. I of course have grails. Patek 5270P, Rolex 5513 Milsub, Patek 5740, Richard Mille RM67-02. But, these are all out of my comfort zone in terms of price and I would need to move into a different wealth bracket in order to pull the trigger.

Bottom line, I am now enjoying my collection and can genuinely now imagine not adding to it in the future. It’s the first time I’ve been in this position, and whilst I will miss ‘the chase’, it’s great to be settled and just enjoy what I have.

Thank you to everyone on here that has helped me get to this point.
