.....i dont think there is a collector here who has not bought a watch and subsequently seen tastes change and no longer enjoy a watch. I think, for me, the watches that have lasted have been ones that have continually given pleasure each time on the wrist. The 1019 has only been with me for 7 months, so it is early days yet....but the ones that have really lasted always give pleasure....that has been my evolution. I think naturally that my collection has started to be pared....but it is a 2 steps forward 2 steps back process. I add watches every year...but also sell those that do not give pleasure.....i aim, each year, to sell less and less.
