"It was TGV's fault." I have no idea why, but that cracks me up.🤣

The compromise buy is the worst trap, in my opinion, and one most of us fall into. Either because you don't have the budget at the time or your target watch is nowhere to be had, you end up sinking money into a watch that 90% of the time you end up regretting buying. And most of the time it doesn't see any wrist time either because it just reminds you of what watch it is not.

Much more useful than a state of the watch collection video. This explains the lifecycle of a watch purchase from birth to grave and the reasoning for the acquisition and disposal. Very helpful for those, like me, who would rather not cycle through many watches if better decision making can make that possible. Thank you.

What a fantastic video. I wish more watch YouTubers would release a comprehensive video like this. I’ve also enjoyed videos explaining why a collector ended up selling a particular watch they had pined for for a long time.

70+ watches ... Haven't sold one yet (given 3-4 away to family as i improved that style of watch) ... I enjoy having multiple brands, multiple styles in my collection ... While some get more wear than others i still enjoy them ALL.
That said to each their own collection style and technique and criteria that is what makes this hobby great - the variety.

every watch tuber should do this video.

The mention of an excel sheet had me chuckle for a bit, but after a bit of consideration I'm now thinking I might pick up on that. Might be very fun to look back to the wearing habits from months or years prior.

Fascinating video 👍. Well done for admitting TGV influenced you, I love his videos, but not his taste in watches. I don't regret any I have sold, but then I've only sold two! I've given away more, but when they cost under £50 there's not much point selling 😁

Mistake purchases are part of the journey. They help you really understand your own tastes and style. Pretty much unavoidable at some point and just part of the hobby. I only buy used watches, so the financial risk of buying the wrong watch is muted quite a bit. In the coming years, I plan on purchasing watch brands that I currently don't own just to see what I might be missing. Some will be mistakes, but if I buy them used it's no big deal.

Invaluable. The one in, one out rule is tough. I giggled over the Excel spreadsheet but remain impressed

This watch hobby really is an illness honestly.... in 3 years I've sold three Speedmasters , two Aqua Terras, an IWC, two Hamiltons, two Seikos, given away a bunch of Casios... obit to be left with a G shock and IWC Mark Xvi.
Trying very hard just to be content and not waste any more money now

Pretty diverse collection. Clearly you thought about this often and have had great reasons to change your collection. This journey we’re on.

The watch collecting experience is unique to every individual. There are no mistakes, just that everyone’s tastes change as we mature. My style of collecting today is to add a watch that I want to my “buy list”. Then I go back and review every so often. If the watch appeals to me again then I watch it until it gets to the “right price” that I determine to be right. I find that some of the watches on my list from last year no longer appeal to me, so I remove them.

I've never sold a watch. After watching this, my small collection of 10-12 watches, with only 5 that cost over $300, and only one over $2000, doesn't seem so obsessive and expensive. One of my "nice" watches is a dress watch (Seiko SARB065), and it hardly ever gets wear, so I don't seriously considering buying more, although I still like looking at dress watches with a classic vintage style. I continue to buy $30- $50 Timex's as daily beaters and for whitewater kayaking. I really like their "indiglo" feature - it's way more functional than lume. Expensive watches are jewelry that also tell time for me.

I reget selling my PAM00024, I sold it because People start hating on Panerai. After selling it I learned that I dont care what people think I want a PAM🎉

Mike, I have been following your videos for qiute a while now and I really find them standing out from the usual watch videos. I like the way you look at both, Brands and Watches, while not being blinded by widespread brand perception. Always fun and entertaining. I have been collecting watches for over 30 years now and like you - bought some, sold some. What I regret to have sold is the 4940 Girard Perregaux Traveller II, Time-Zone + Alarm. I did even use the alarm function when travelling. ( using the second time zone though was quite cumbersome) I sold it to make space for something new ( don´t even recall for which) - but anyway: I miss it. best from Berlin. Andre PS: my latest is the Moser Pioneer 40 mm, which I love - and plan to keep.

The most rational, intelligent watch guy on YT still chases every pretty girl that walks by, just like the rest of us. It's comforting.
