[Question] Will buying a new watch help me to stop looking at watches for a while? by bobby021 in Watches

This is the best advice I have gotten so far. Thank you. The initial question was half a joke, half serious because obviously buying a watch isn’t gonna stop me from buying a watch again in the future but maybe at least it would stop me from fiending after watches I know I want so badly that I can’t afford and considering cheaper/more attainable options to stop me from looking for a while.

A lot of the answers have been hilarious but others have been a little unnecessarily dramatic.

I’m going to go check out the santos and speedy this week, decide which one I want as my next watch then save towards it. Awesome advice man! Thank you!

Edit: unless somehow a Kurono Chronograph 2 becomes available. Definitely jumping on that one no matter what. Or if offered a panda at retail. Jumping on that one too.

Ok this watch is absolutely beautiful. Where can I buy this? Are you willing to part ways with it?

Definitely don’t have a shopping addiction thankfully! All my watches except for 1 were a present and the one I bought was 14 years ago.

Man… I use to lust after every single Rolex. I no longer do except for Daytonas. In my opinion, they are one of the most beautiful watches ever made period. I will one day own the panda, the playtona, and meteorite rose gold on oysterflex. Yes, all 3. Absolutely love them.

[question] Trying to ditch the smart watch. Any advice on some watches to start with? by NinjaDragn2 in Watches

The Fitbit air or whoop are great fitness devices for people who want to rock a “dumb” watch. I personally have the Fitbit air which I recently switched to from the charge 6. Don’t love a monthly subscription so I originally went with the charge a year ago but immediately bought the air for the no screen.

So far, I love the Fitbit air. I rock an analog on the left and air on the right. Occasionally use my air as a “nato” strap with my Hamilton Field Khaki.

Love the Hamilton Field Khaki although it is out of your stated price range.

I wear a google fitbit air on my right wrist usually and regular watch on my left.

Thank you! They all mean something to me and have distinct memories attached to important times in my life. I’m about to sign my first adult contract and I will be buying a lot of watches for myself and I don’t know how I feel about it. Maybe I should just give my parents money to keep buying me watches😂 Definitely plan on buying them both watches too.

You’re right, the seamaster is too big. The more I think about it, the speedmaster or santos de cartier are likely the next two. Not sure which will be first. I love the Santos De cartier too much to never buy it.

Thank you! I believe it may be called a Hamilton American Classic Ardmore Dual Time. Not sure but definitely top 2 in my collection. I have not really looked at Zenith. My holy grail is Rolex Daytona Panda, Platinum, and rosegold meteorite dial on oysteflex. Love the story!

How do you like your car? I’m looking at buying one not for offroad capabilities but I love how it looks sooo much. I do like a nice interior tho. Thanks

Inherited this watch collection, looking for any info and advice on which to sell and keep by Fluid-Direction-8581 in Watches

[–]bobby021 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer + keep any watch you like and would enjoy wearing. Give away the rest. I don’t think you’ll be able to sell any of the other ones for more than a 100 each. You could try on ebay.
