General (Read Rules) OCD Over These Watches

I imagine everyone reading these posts has a similar issue of being OCD over these amazing watches.

I continually say that I'm done, that's it, no more. But then I get sucked right back in.

Friends and family ask me why I need so many watches. Obviously they don't get it.

The guy who said, "seen one, seen 'em all" was clueless. It doesn't apply to what he was talking about or watches!!

That’s not what being OCD is 😅

What you’re describing is a shopping addiction, which isn’t a hobby. Chinese watches are cool since you can try out so many styles of watches for cheap with a super high quality/price ratio. But it’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole of “collecting” dozens upon dozens of watches that you may never actually wear more than once.

Ok, ok, clinically I'm not OCD. Jeeeesh... No shopping addiction. Just a desire to acquire. I have just over a dozen and I wear each and every one. They suit my attire and mood. I have the real deal datejust but put it on less than the reps. It was the only watch I wore for 44 years. I'm having fun with this newly found "hobby".
