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…
Recently i have stopped looking at the ‘normal’ watches. Your Omegas, Gs, Rolex, Tudor etc.
Instead i started looking at some chinese watches that get looked over as not swiss made but have Some really cool watches. Tourbillon for under 1k for instance
My latest is looking at microbrands. I doubt i will ever sell my watches i only own 2. I dont see them as an investment so dont mind spending money on watches no one will know off
