I always think that talking about watches and money is a bit crass but being a bit bored and spurred by the ‘how many watches’ thread I made a spreadsheet on buying and selling for the 44 watches I’ve owned since joining the forum to understand how large the hole actually was

Not wanting to talk about the total sum of purchases It turns out my watch hobby has cost me £3050 in watch costs (purchase - sales ) or rental, £1500 in straps and £341 in postage cost since 2009

So roughly £35 per month

I’m happy with that and far less than I thought, since I don’t drink or smoke I think my wife owes me a watch
