That's it - you've captured it
Echi, I think you have captured the sentiment much better than I was able to - it's that slow burn and taking pleasure in waiting patiently and avoiding the "breakfast buffet" approach. I love the analogy! The "path" is an interesting approach - I think I have a few pieces that have been planted in my head for some time and never seem to escape - perhaps they will cross my path as well. All the best and very nice to hear from you.
Two themes rarely discussed
I was wondering if any of you ever experienced any of the following: 1. A general satisfaction with ones collection, without a desire expand it. Yes of course there are nice watches out there and you admire them for what they are - beautiful works of art ...
I'll start this off
While I have admired dozens of watches that I would love, I have never been in a position of walking away when smitten. The fact is, I have, if anything, gone a bit beyond my financial means while pursuing my passion. So, in short, it appears that we don'...
Passion admired
I admire your passion! I have several friends that are similarly minded and their passion and enjoyment of life is truly admirable (not to mention the quality of their advice - more experiences!). Life of course is a circle not a line and so we all end up...
my collecting philosophy, if there is such a thing as one

Logical
Sounds like a logical self-correcting approach. All types of methods work in our hobby!
I have a roving eye
I'm always looking at and learning about new pieces, but I am very careful about adding pieces to my collection. I could spend more on watches, but I choose not to because I have other hobbies and interests. Cheers, Daos This message has been edited by dx...
The roving eye
I like that roving eye - I think I have one too; lots of watching but execution with care. At least I think it's with care; so far no flipping of any part of my little group. All the best.
I'm there Nomer but with a twist...
Quite happy with my lot and I don't think that a lack of resources dilute my enjoyment of the hobby. In fact, having less probably heightens it even more Anyway, the twist here is that since I've already defined my "path", I'm no longer in that mode where...

Letting the dust settle ...
The ability to wait is a sign of maturity? I think you may be right. It is easy to be sucked into the latest and greatest, the newest Basel release. But it is the watches that remain in our minds and imagination for years that when finally acquired provid...
