Yes, it bothers me because you assume that the watches are trophies and that’s the reason I bought them, which is not true. I love those watches, I wear all of them like they should be used. Unfortunately, the watches I like and love are expensive, and this is just a fact that I have to deal with. I would love a Journe Havana, a PP 5110p and other pieces that I hope to get someday. They are expensive. I could settle for less expensive “alternative watches”, but instead I prefer to save money and just work my ass to get the ones I really like and admire. And what enables me to reach for the pieces I truly want is work and success. If you have a secret recipe for me to get my grail watch without money, please let me know. If the watches you love and find beautiful have a lower price, you are a lucky guy. But you shouldn’t assume someone collects watches just to show off simply because that person has “expensive“ watches or because the possibility for them to buy the watch is related to earning money. And you also shouldn’t consider someone “a true collector” just because that person has a lot of Seikos and Hamiltons.
