Like a lot of people, I got really interested in watches during the pandemic when I had extra time on my hands, and disposable income that I couldn’t spend on other things. Like many, I dove head first into learning as much as I could from Youtube, websites, books, etc.
But now a few years later, does anyone else feel like they’re losing interest in the hobby?
I still love the watches that I bought, but now I’m more likely to spend my disposable income on trips/restaurants/concerts etc.
How do you keep the passion going when the initial love affair is over? And when I’m not actively buying new watches…
Do people still do that?
Yep
I wouldn’t necessary call myself an avid coin collector, but I’ve been given a fair few by some relatives over the years and have gotten some myself. Personally, it feels like a piece of history i can hold in my hand. And, It’s not often that you can carry around or something from 100 years ago that you don’t have to be super gentle with. They have almost have a feeeling of permanency to them.
