I have seen a member or two, reviving threads from early 2011 ono and thought that it was funny as OPs whom asked, "What watch to buy for XX budget?" in 2011 would definitely have made a purchase 5 years down the road. Then this thread was revived and I could finally see the relevancy behind such old threads. Sound advice from 2011, that still rings true today. I have been going through some consolidation phases myself and told myself that I would stop at X watches, then inevitably, you got swayed by the moment and added another piece that doesn't get much wrist times. Then a couple of months down the road, you flip it off. So these days, I buy only if I really liked it and even when the shop sometimes offer me a great discount (like the time that a shop offered me RM22k off a JLC LE piece), if I'm not really sold on the watch, I have learnt to say, "Thanks but no, thanks." So far, I have been disciplined enough in the no. of watches in my winder; although there were moments when the flesh was weak still. "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned."
