10 funny habits of watch collectors / fanatics!

[@allenhaines317]

How about this habit: I love this watch so much I look at it and forget to check the time! I can't tell you how often I do this...

[@underachievingwatchcollect1878]

Totally!

[@Watch4Me]

Happens all the time. Glance at watch, pick up phone to check time. #TrueSrory

[@davids9549]

Yup!

[@patrickdehaan3670]

Checking the time or admiring a watch's looks, are mutually exclusive operations.

[@cnaarndt]

Hell, I'll do you one better, I'll pull the watch out of the box and wear it half a day before I realize that I haven't set the correct time or date!

[@cnaarndt]

11. Missing Your Watches - Coming home, pulling out your watch box, admiring your collection, and then trying them on one by one. 12. Wearing Multiple Watches in One Day - Having a too large collection and wearing two, three or four in a day. 13. Comparing Your Watch Collection to Others - Viewing KZbin watch collection videos and comparing yours to theirs. 14. Making Lists of Your Perfect (Grail) Watch Collection - Researching and listing those watches that you'd buy if money was no object. 15. Justifying Loosing that Watch You Wanted to Buy - Finally finding that next watch you've been lusting after, not buying right away, someone else gets it and you justify saying maybe I couldn't afford it anyway.

@@matilda628 I have some very nice collector cars, Austin Healeys that I've collected and restored over the past 35 years (my 1955 is my birth year car). My nicest one is insured for $125K, and if anything should happen to it, I would not replace the car, I'd buy a very nice four watch grail collection instead. What's pathetic is that I already have the four watches picked out just in case!

[@dbkincaid1]

I find that people who collect or appreciate something like a fine watch, the history, the craftsmanship, also appreciate the same with other items. Ultimately this makes them a collector or at least appreciative of other finely crafted items. I love guitars, watches, pens, flashlights, guns, knives, when I smoked it was lighters (Dupont anybody). Stay safe my friends.

[@DM-rc4yu]

I find it completely the opposite. People who are super fussy over something like a wrist watch and over details and you can only see with a loupe are usually not that fussy over anything else in their lives.

[@citizen1675]

D M ,,I may be the odd man out then. I use my loupe and microscope for my watches and my knife blades. I have several $700.00 knives and two $1500.00 knives. I disassemble clean reassemble and sharpen under the digital microscope. Then my gun collection that numbers near thirty is very similar in treatment. No loupe but use a bore scope. Anyway, point is I like many things that I completely see as art. I admire and appreciate the creator of each item. My watches,,,,my watches get wound every day. It is my ‘time’ to interact with each piece. The sound of the winding and pressure on the crown. Fun stuff. I like to interact with my wife in like manner. She is the Master’s masterpiece for me. Oops. Sorry. Time for bed!

Completely agree and guilty of most of these! Here are 2 more: 1) The one the got away (the “deal” you were not quick enough to get). 2) The watch that doesn’t exist (thoughts like..

Personally i love Rolex because i find on it disciplines that i follow (History, Art Design and Engineering). Stay safe!

Another odd behavior some fanatics have is wearing more than one watch during the day. Mr Wonderful has admitted to wearing a different watch in morning, afternoon, and evening. I do the same...definitely not something a normal person would do. I haven’t yet committed the sin of simultaneously wearing a watch on each wrist (except for the Apple Watch.......it’s not really a watch...it’s a semi phone).

Great to see you well and keeping safe. Never thought of watches from an art perspective. You are correct, it’s my art form. My latest purchase is Omega Moonwatch with exhibition case. I look at the back more than the face as the engineering is exquisite. One thing I like very much about this piece over my other watches is the simplicity of use. No date, no hacking seconds. Wind, set and forget. This is my first manual wind watch and I love the feel of a connection when I wind it before wearing. The reason I buy watches is two fold. I like the story behind the name and will it fit me. I’ve an 8” wrist. 40mm> look like ladies watches on me. Keep up the great work and stay safe sir. Cin Cin.

I think some people can get scoffy over quartz, some cheap quartz is understandable, but for some it's perfectly valid as people have meaning invested into these watches like any mechanical ones. I have a quartz watch my parents gave me when they got married several years ago and whenever I wear it, I do so proudly because of what it means to me and them 👍

[@WatchUnwind]

Every watch has a place and quartz movements actually make a lot of scenes for certain watches. Nothing wrong with a quartz watch. Both quartz watches and mechanical watches should have a place in a collection. And James as you pointed out the feelings and memories you have with the watch are really what makes it special. I invite you to subscribe to my channel next week Im going to release a review I did on a really neat titanium quartz watch with tritium gas tubes I think you would enjoy it !

Like others, I agree in that you’ve called me out and we’ve not even met 😂 I’d add that watch collectors change tastes over time but like fashion, we often come back to what we once loved. I’d also add that we constantly evolve our grail to be a few steps above our affordability bracket. I started collecting when I was on minimum wage, and soon bought my then grail. I then created a new grail, and got that. I have another now and whilst I don’t think I’ll get to it cough Lange Datograph *cough*, I feel my point is valid 😊

I go through binges where I’ll sell some that I fell I’m done with, then turn around a few months later and buy a few more that catch my eye. I’m definitely into the art aspect of a watch more than anything else. My big crazy is that when I’m home, I tend to change the watch I’m wearing, multiple time...like I can’t make up my mind on which one I want to wear the most.

You’re so spot on especially about adjusting to watch size. I typically go back and forth btwn a Panerai 422 and Rolex DSSD. If I wear the PAM for a few days straight and put on the Rolex, it looks super small but only for a few hours and vice-versa. And couldn’t agree more about buying a watch as a store of value (brand dependent of course). Been pondering the acquisition of a GMT Coke Fat Lady as my first vintage/pseudo-vintage watch as it should easily maintain its value and even potentially tuen into an investment.

[@EconMcCausland]

I have something to add. As a watch fanatic, I’ve been one to initiate new hobbies/projects solely for the purpose of using a complication/feature of my watch. For example, taking up diving to use my Pelagos. Or to take the car out to a stretch of road with mile markers just to “test” out the tachometer function of my chronograph.

When I do shower though I ALWAYS carefully place it on something soft NOT the bare countertop. I also make sure the toilet lid is down which is nearby hahaha. They get great fun out of this for some reason. Also the steam helps clean watch and I use s mirco fiber cloth immediately after.
