  • Am I sick?

    in my watch collecting experience, I went through few crazy cycles of buying/selling watches. What I meant with "crazy" is buying my 'grail' watch, sell it, buy the same model again, sell it again and buy it again.....Selling it not necessary to earn profit, but just don't feel the attraction anymore, but once sold it, the attraction comes back and end up spending more money acquiring it again.

    Anyone of you experience the same thing?

                      It's a disease among watch collector or even other item collector.
