An unhealthy addiction

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

I collect watches. Nothing hugely expensive - they cost from £2 to £250. No Rolexes or anything. But I have a lot of them. Like, 30 of them. One a day for every month. I prize uniqueness and dress watches. I really love them. But quite a lot of money has been sunk into them. I'm done with buying new ones, for a while at least. Is it a really unhealthy addiction?

Only time will tell

Is this a confessional?

Okay, here goes…

Mine are: DVC points and reading DISboards

It's not unhealthy unless it is interfering in your life in some negative way. Otherwise, enjoy what you enjoy!

As long as you’re not ignoring your other needs and essentials with respect to finance… enjoy!

Oh man… I want this.



A Swan & Edgar, the name in cheap but quality. £200. But that's it… £200 Still too much for my palette when I am in saving mode!

If you love buying them and wearing them, or even just looking at them, it's no one elses business.
I collected teddy bears until they filled a whole bedroom. Why? Because I got joy from them. I did get rid of them and only kept my special ones such as Annette Funicello's favorite teddy bear which is a cheerleader. She was on QVC and selling her bears. She made one a cheerleader because she was never able to be one and always wanted to. I now have 4 bears.

I do find enjoyment in my watches. I have too many though. Time to sell a few off and consolidate my collection to the ones I truly like.

In light of the above posts, perhaps I should change the title to "Healthy Obsession"? I know someone who collects vintage teddy bears and someone else who collects guitars. As long as I don't bankrupt myself!

Smoking is clearly unhealthy, and drinking—especially in large amounts—isn’t great for you either. But collecting watches? Why not! If it's something you enjoy and it brings you happiness, then go for it. To be honest, I have my own quirky hobby too. I spend a lot of time on the Canada Pharmacy Partner website reading through descriptions, side effects, and reviews of different medications and supplements. It might sound strange to some, but I find it genuinely interesting—almost like a hobby at this point. I enjoy learning about how different treatments work and what they’re used for.

Wearing my second favourite watch today, a Swan and Edgar Complexity. Cost under £200, but feels and looks, IMO, better than many ultra-high end watches.

My favourite is a Longines, a gift for my 18th birthday. I love it. But that one's only for special occasions.

We have friends whose marriage on the rocks because the husband is obsessed with buying guns and ammo, I guess he has 300 guns and has maxed out credit cards. He says it makes him happy. SO things do get out of control
