Its just boys and their toys...whatever their toys are....in this case they are fine mechanical timepieces....in another forum it might be an original and rare AM/FM radio for a 1966 Mustang convertible, or the newest VR lens from Nikon.

To each their own...but I would bet if we took a poll that we would see that many of the watch collectors here are also car collectors!!

Funny but that guy's in the minority. If you flip through a copy of Christophorus, 90% of the ads are for watches.

Yes, I think that collectors are collectors: the qualities that they look for are often shared by many different things.
