I always liked watches but never really had any appetite to spend more than a couple of hundred on one. I often admired expensive watches but always thought people were crazy spending such vast sums of money on a single watch or even several of them.
Something changed late last year, i caught the obsession and have become quite ill. I have amassed a collection of 11 watches ranging in price from £300 - £6000 and developed a real interest in everything to do with horology. It's a hobby that has taken over all other hobbies and I love it.
I started to have a think about the watches I was wearing at my major life events (inspired by another thread on here) including my wedding, graduation, birth of my kid, purchase of my house etc. I even had to dig some old photos out to remind myself and the results were sickening and very disappointing!!
Graduation - A Sekonda!!!
Wedding - A replica Breiting - A fake, noooooooooooo
Birth of daughter - I can't even say it. it hurts - A £15 Gul?!?!?
House purchase - Unknown - probably for the best
On the plus side, things can only get better!!! Maybe I can Photoshop some of those photos :-)
Still got the replica Breitling - oh dear!
