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…

    My Dad got really into watches in the mid 90’s, and once he got his grail (Breitling Colt in 2001) he kinda lost interest in active studying and reading about watches.

    Now 20 years later, I’m WAY into watches and have got him looking into things again. We just decided he’s gonna ditch his Apple Watch for a Citizen Titanium Garrison.
