Not a easy answer.
Time for therapy, indeed.
I had a big conversation with one of my friends, today, and we agreed to say that Passion is a lot of pleasure, but mainly a pain.
We are always in the search of the Grail, we always have doubts, we learn everyday, and we have to ponder what we think to be certain.

Ok, let's play that game.
But tell me, once you arrive to Rolex and JLC, or Patek... Which one would you select? Hmmmm?

Like I said it only last for week.
don't fight it
Nicolas,
I understand you too well. My wish list is also getting longer (rather than shorter). My advice: don't fight it, it's like when you are caught in the sea in a very strong current - expert advice is there to let go and drift with the current, and not to swim against it (will save you energy) - otherwise you will get weak and drown. So, be happy that you have found such a passion and live it to the maximum. Few people are as lucky and havesuch a strong passion (makes us feel alive and life more interesting) - and if you buy the right watches in the right condition you will do well in the long term (to appease your conscience) and do your children a favour (better returns that in bonds with yields lower than inflation).
I have given up and am drifting for a while now
you say that because you own some of those which are in my list! :))))
My friend,
This is a question which haunts me for a long time, now.
I was happy to find some of these marvels, which are not in my list anymore, then, and I arrived at this conclusion that ending a collection is something really exciting.
Summing it even more, as you have to do the effort to let go many pieces, and to decide which are the most important (' subjective, I know ).
But before ending it, why not adding some extra marvellous pieces?
I would be more than happy if I could grab let's say... A third of these long hunted watches!
Piano piano, as our italian friends use to say.
Who knows? We'll see!
Best,
Nicolas
