Well said. I'm an addict who's not recovering...but, I have good intentions.

[@WatchSociety]

😂 let’s see how long I can hold it

[@EQ9962]

I will stop… after this last watch comes in…. Promise. This is the last one. I promise

[@artbanks27]

Hang in there, we all gonna make it.

[@oneal14attnet]

Best advise I’ve hear, “You should love every watch you own. But you shouldn’t own every watch you love” Great video. Watch addicts should have a personal limit. And stick to it. There will always be another watch. But the one that’s on your wrist is by default the best one!

[@WatchSociety]

Indeed!

[@amenhotep7704]

I stopped collecting them but i still look at them, evaluate them and examine them. Horology is a hobby...

[@richardman28]

Well said brother. Welcome to my world. Its an addiction rather than hobby. I am a 30 year addict from the age of 16 and it doesnt look like its stopping 😂

[@Ray.J]

This video is about watches, but it could be about any collecting activity. None of them lead to happiness, not even for those who have unlimited resources. True happiness can't be found in financial transactions. The rush of excitement is fleeting. And after that fades, you begin to look for the next "high". It can be like any addiction, and frequently is. So what folks need to focus on is not happiness, but contentment. Be content with little and invest your resources where it will make an impact.

[@WatchSociety]

Well Said! You've expressed a profound and insightful perspective on collecting activities, and I couldn't agree more. Whether it's watches or any other form of collecting, the pursuit of material possessions alone can't lead to lasting happiness. The fleeting excitement of acquiring new items can become like a never-ending cycle, akin to seeking the next "high" as you aptly put it.

[@merc7paul]

Essence of Buddhism

[@engjoo]

Yes. We need to slow down on our purchases as fatique is setting in for many of us. I am already making a conscious effort of taking a break from it. For a while, I no longer travel overseas with my nicer watches and I find it a lot more liberating.

[@WatchSociety]

Absolutely, taking a break and slowing down on purchases is a wise decision. Collector fatigue can set in when the acquisition process becomes too overwhelming. It's great to hear that you're making a conscious effort to step back and reevaluate your collecting habits.

[@jacstoneu]

The Grey Market plus the AD's have destroyed the good feeling about watch collecting

[@NeoWahNah]

I 100% understand where you are coming from! I found that I was less happy the more I purchased. So I set hard non-negotiable limits on all future acquisitions and now feel more free than I ever have. I've also not made a purchase in nearly a year!

[@WatchSociety]

That's truly commendable! It's incredibly insightful to recognize that excessive purchases can lead to diminishing returns in terms of happiness. By setting firm and non-negotiable limits for yourself, you've taken control of your watch collecting journey and found a sense of freedom in doing so.

[@matthewhelm3035]

Spot on. It’s all about the Hype! Let’s all strap on that GShock or Timex or Hamilton and enjoy. At least once per week. 🥂

[@royb5831]

You nailed it man and I really needed to hear this. This hobby is so saturated with dealers posing as enthusiasts and it is ruining the hobby. Taking a break is exactly what I need and I appreciate this video very much.

[@WatchSociety]

I'm glad to hear that my thoughts resonate with you! Taking a break from the watch collecting scene can be a great way to refresh and refocus on what truly matters to you in the hobby. Yeah, I get what you mean about dealers posing as enthusiasts, it can be frustrating. Look past it, to me, it’s also getting a bit old. Remember to enjoy the passion and authenticity of the true community it bring, I’ve personally met some amazing likeminded people through the hobby. If you ever need more advice or just want to chat about watches, I'm here for you so do DM on Instagram 😊🕰️

[@WatchSociety]

Hey Jack, thank you for watching! I'm glad you found value in this video. My intention was not to conclude it, but rather to establish a limit :)

[@michaelsaraceno3438]

Such a great perspective and sobering view on the hobby. I’m sure everyone who’s embarked on this crazy adventure can relate at some level.

[@dsvillalva]

Solid video Ridah. As you're showing the watches and especially the JLCs, I'm also reminded at the crazy price increases that we're seeing lately with a lot of brands/models - another reason to take pause every once in a while.

[@WatchSociety]

Thanks, @dsvillalva! Appreciate the support. Absolutely, the price increases in the watch industry can be staggering. It's essential to take a step back and evaluate our purchases carefully. A pause can be beneficial to make thoughtful decisions and prioritize what truly matters.

[@johanvandersandt8904]

Man you are spitting facts. I own many watches but I don't love all my watches. Sometimes I just get it because it's on sale or for a quick dopamine hit. Less is more and more truly has become less. 😕

[@WatchSociety]

Thank you for your kind words. It takes self-awareness and honesty to recognize that not all watches in our collection hold the same level of love and attachment. It's common to fall into the trap of impulsive purchases or getting watches for the sake of a quick thrill. I am no advisor but learning and this is what i've come to, even in tho my previous videos contradicts my points in this video. First for everything i guess

[@johanvandersandt8904]

I guess that we are are all learning as we go my friend.

[@zoobee]

they are things of beauty. they are alluring. and we want more beauty, but we'll never be satisfied. the best thing is to have one, two, maximum three watches, and spend your life with them, make memories with them. the most beautiful will be beautiful to you forever.

Well said love ❤️

I can empathize. It’s been 12 months since my last watch purchase. Ive been struggling ever since. This disease is very hard to handle.

Watches, Sneakers and Star Wars…at 53 years of age. I do like less is more….at least with my watch collection. My first real watch was a Montblanc Diver with a resin bezel with the same material they manufacture their pens…had to get the pen as well! Then I became an addict! Buy what you love and don’t get too aesthetically crazy!

[@omegafanboyian]

Ridah I'm so so sorry that your in recovery & hope you do well , as for myself I'm well down the Rabbit hole and not in need of a recovery program.

I could NEVER get BORED of WATCH collecting!!! NEVER!!!

[@merc7paul]

I've stayed 3 years with the same 5 watches and i was satisfied, bought one g shock but the color discolored on the band and returned it and it scratched my new watch itch. It made me realise my collection is perfect, until i finally pulled a trigger on same watch i already have just blacked out lol

[@daniellewis9240]

Im an addict lol All jokes aside. Materialistic possessions will never fulfill us. Us humans are meant for more meaningful experiences. Life’s too short to spend our lives observing(to say the least) shiny objects that tell time. I know this next point will be unpopular and most likely will not resonate with 99% of us. I don’t care how much you tell yourself words like: collector, horological, masterpiece, elegance, heirloom,history, blah blah blah etc. At the end of the day, these are flex pieces that make us look and feel important like we made it it’s for everyone else to see as well as yourself, for the already stated reasons. With that being said, I’m still an addict and I still love watches I just don’t lie to myself. PS great video. Oh yeah the chase is the best part!!

[@WatchSociety]

Thank you! You've touched upon an essential aspect of watch collecting and material possessions in general. While collecting watches can be a delightful passion, it's essential to recognize that true fulfillment comes from meaningful experiences and connections, not just material possessions. Thank you for your honesty, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

This video is more directed to the "luxury" watch collector. I like the message even though it's not directly for me and newbie budget collection.

[@ogramail]

Wise video

[@andresrrcf]

Thank you! I needed to hear this 🙏👏Indeed, this is an addiction of sorts…

[@alaththar819]

it's all because that one grail watch. the one we pursue, the one we did not have yet. I've come to definition my grail watch is the one that I have, the one or two or three 😅 watches that often on my wrist, the watch that on many occasion in life wether it's good or bad.

[@WatchSociety]

Said well and it sounds like you've found your personal definition of a grail watch 😀 It's a special and meaningful collection to you. Enjoy your timepieces! ❤️

[@williamtodd250]

This is the same problem with every addiction , addiction is the appropriate word. We fill the voids in our existence with stuff we enjoy , this may just be our spiritual journey go array. Trying to get back to my spiritual fulfillment. I lost count at 100 watches.

[@WatchSociety]

You've made an insightful observation.100 watches shows the depth of your collecting journey, but it also indicates the need to reassess your path. You and I both need to take the time to reflect and align our passion with our overall well-being and values.

[@craigkovach8475]

I have a watch I hated because of the green dial even though I loved the model. So I bought the same model (at a crazy low Jomashop price), and I got a gator strap for the new one, and put the strap the new one came with on the green one, and the green one's my favorite watch now. I think I got a problem. (Just keep a separate watch fund you feed some extra money to each month though and never buy a watch except from there and you'll be OK!)

[@kuanseow7407]

Only Buy what we Like / Love.......Never Buy above AD Price...........Never Over Do, Life Should be Simple!!!! Simple is Happiness.......And Life is Short...........Many Thanks for your Contribution

[@WatchSociety]

Absolutely, you've hit the nail on the head with these wise words! Buying what we truly like or love ensures that our watch collection reflects our personal taste and brings us genuine joy. Sticking to the AD price is a prudent approach, keeping us grounded in reality and avoiding unnecessary splurging. Simplicity holds the key to happiness, allowing us to appreciate the little things in life. And yes, life is indeed short, so let's make the most of it, cherishing the moments that bring us fulfillment and contentment. Thank you for sharing these valuable insights; they resonate deeply and remind us of what truly matters.

[@Popescu789]

Watch enthusiasts already existed and will always exist. The thing us that last couple of years there was a bunch of youtubers and social media influencers that hyped that passion like they really care, but they got bored, and now because of them, mentally challenged people (nothing against them) believe that watch passion is dead

[@pth8888]

If your watch collection is ballooning too fast then it is impossible for you to enjoy and appreciate each piece. Enjoy what you have already, bond with them, there is no need to go for the next new releases.

[@WatchSociety]

You've hit the nail on the head! The joy of watch collecting lies not in accumulating a vast number of timepieces, but in cherishing and forming a genuine connection with each piece in your collection. When the collection grows too fast, it becomes challenging to give each watch the attention and appreciation it deserves. 100% agreed! Thank you

[@pelilin2519]

Once upon a time i thought having 1 box of watch will be enough and i bought my first Omega. Later it grow more and more and more. Now i have 12 watches. Watching this video make me realize most of my watch have lost 20% of value. But if i dont look at it value wise it is a very very good watch. I spent a lot of time looking at my collection compared to wearing it and this is not healthy for me and my wallet. Gosh i need to stop looking at watches and buying.

[@robertosanchez4021]

Wise words...

[@cardinalj]

I still have a passion for watches. But i've learned to enjoy a small collection. Three watches is all I have right now. I use the 1 in 1 out rule and it works for me

[@WatchSociety]

That's wonderful to hear! It's great that you've found a balance that allows you to continue your passion for watches while enjoying a small, curated collection. The "1 in 1 out" rule is a practical approach, ensuring that each addition is thoughtful and meaningful. Quality over quantity often leads to a more fulfilling collecting experience. May your three watches continue to bring you joy and satisfaction in your horological journey!

[@bettersteps]

Friend, it isn't an addiction. You need another watch. You know you do. Come back to the dark side. We love you here. You need another watch. We're your friend. We love you and your watch. You need another watch.

[@darellhunter2205]

It's nice to have a group of friends we can discuss our watch collecting addiction with. Lol. I am incredibly blessed and fortunate that I can only afford to purchase 1 $10k watch a year. It gives me a whole year to enjoy my latest allocation while saving for next year's allocation. I'm slowing getting more pieces as my tastes increase. I have a PM Daytona on Oysterflex on my wishlist so there will be a 3yr wait until i can get that watch. To your point, that break is probably needed now. Lol.

[@WatchSociety]

Haha, totally agree! Having a group of friends to discuss watch collecting with must be a lot of fun! And it's awesome that you can afford one $10k watch a year, giving you plenty of time to enjoy each acquisition while saving up for the next one. That’s the right way to do it, well done 👍🏽 Patience is key, but breaks can be refreshing too. Happy watch hunting! 😄🕰️ hahahahaha - detoxing here

[@MadefromJava]

Great video Habibi. I think your words apply to all types of collecting. As a retiring sneaker collector and current watch collector, I can see a lot of brands (sneakers and watches) are saturating the market. Looks like a post covid effect and they're all just milking the cash cow lol. A lot of collectors fall in love with the chase and once they're able to obtain that piece, does it turn into regret/buyer's remorse?

[@WatchSociety]

Shukran! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and you've made an astute observation. Indeed, the saturation of the market can be seen across various collecting industries, including both sneakers and watches. As brands strive to meet increasing demand, it can sometimes feel like they're diluting the essence of their own sneakers/watches simply cashing in on the hype.

Having a local watch show is a fantastic initiative! However, my perspective on the experiences attending it over the past three years. It seems that the format sometimes emphasizes watch ambassadors' thoughts that may not resonate with a true watch lover. (Influenced rather) brands watch showcase might not offer anything beyond what you can find in Dubai Mall, and somehow lacking a genuine touch of passion inclusivity of the watch community. While it's still a great show, I can see why I’d consider skipping it for this year.

[@Maarten_official_account]

3 watches ago I’ve purchased my last watch so yeah…what can I say 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@AICH810]

The best way to buy a watch is to associate it with a special event ( Birth of a child , a promotion , engagement) this way the watch means something … but if you buy it just cause you like how it looks there will be a time where you will let go of it very easily … because it is only .. u guessed it … its only a stupid watch.

[@THE.RATGOD]

Makes sens. But i would say one thing : fuck ad. You really want a watch? Buy it whatever the cost is. Like art. You can’t ? Don’t be a child, change your goal. It s an object in the first place, not something guarded by an individual.

[@Jungleman707]

Here's my comment. From watching your channel, I think that the watches that suit you are the black watches. So why don't you sell off most of the classic stuff like that Rolex Explorer, and keep a small but very diverse collection like the ultra classic black dial Cartier Tank, and large and sporty black and yellow Roger Dubuis. And maybe something black and gold. Just a suggestion. If you're an addict, you may as well push the boundaries of convention and do something really unique that nobody else does, find your own watch language.

[@WatchSociety]

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestion! I appreciate your observation and the time you've spent watching my channel. It's true that black watches do resonate with me, and I find them appealing. The Explorer, Santos DLC and Lange speak to me the most

[@michaelriera6277]

[@dstjoe]

I think what is contributing to the exhaustion of wearing a watch is the stigma or being a target for watch crimes. when I went to Singapore and Japan, I see so many people wearing and enjoying their Rolexes. Coming back to California, nobody wears a mechanical watch anymore due to the rising crimes and soft on crime mentality. I'm reluctant to wear mine due to this issue of crimes. Otherwise, I think the hobby would continue if people can enjoy wearing them without fear.

[@WatchSociety]

Safety is always a top priority! It's unfortunate that rising watch crimes have impacted the enjoyment of wearing timepieces in certain areas. Feeling hesitant to wear your watch due to security reasons is entirely is the right thing to do. unfortunate but true!
