RE: If You Ever (IYE) Decide to Collect Vintage Watches - Vol. II
I'm sorry to read you had to sell most of your collection. Tough times do call for tough decisions.
The inner workings of these watches are just amazing to look at. And sometimes I find them more beautiful than the actual watch. I hope that's not strange. It's such craftsmanship. I love reading these articles. Thank you.
Thanks, @exyle. It's okay though, they were just things. Honestly I was starting to get tired of spending so much time on the hobby. Being a serious collector really is a rabbit hole, I met some collectors who made it their lives spending most of their free time and disposable income on collecting. I'd much rather travel and see the world.
The movements always fascinated me too. They're works of art..kind of steam punk-esque. Some collectors would modify the watch case backs with a glass window so you could see the movement run. Thanks for your comment!
