Horological Meandering

It helps if we are prepared for the "road".

The subject of "grail" requires another (I'm sure that it will be very interesting) discussion.

Thank you Andrew for your comments.

I don't forget that when I started my grail was a ... very shabby watch.

The journey can be very nice, in special if one is flying first class using accumulated knowledge.

Even for longtime collectors, I still think the go-slow method of acquisition is a wise one.  You may be dazzled by a certain timepiece at first glance, but the initial ardor often cools.  I prefer to contemplate purchases over a period of time to determine if I'm just lusting after a piece, or if I'm truly in love enough to pull the trigger on something that will give me longterm enjoyment on the wrist.
