• It's a waste of time when it isn't what I really want.

    That gives you one practical second watch, two sentimental watches and a Speedy to now wear the majority of the time and enjoy. Actually maybe keep the CWC G10.

  • I should have mentioned the other problem in that I'm sentimental. I wouldn't get rid of the Chris Ward as it was my first proper watch, bought for me by my dad. The G10 was a service watch used by my father in law so that would have to stay.

    My other worry is that although the speedy is my grail watch and, in some way, the ultimate tool watch, the value of it would really limit my wearing of it as much I'd like. Not sure if the speedy wearers of this parish suffer this problem?

  • Fair enough. Then keep them. But I don't think that's a valid reason not to get the watch you want. If you don't something will come up and you won't get it.

    Originally I was a bit nervous of wearing my nice watch, but then a friend pointed out there was no point in having it if you didn't.

    Unfortunately this year I had an issue with my house that put my premium up and cut out lots of insurers. So now it's locked in a safe somewhere until I can afford to add it to my policy.

  • Seven watches isn’t too many by any stretch, especially when some are sentimental. If you want a grail watch and it’s not taking food out of your kid’s mouth, go for it.

    It took me a long long time to save for my Speedmaster and I do get a bit twitchy about dinging it but that’s also part of the buzz of wearing it. It’ll pass after the first chip and I’m 99% sure it’s with me ‘till I’m pushing daisies so don’t let that put you off.

    I’m 40 next year and will mark it with a watch but I can’t for the life of me narrow down what I want. Mega first world problems.
