funny grey can be too pale... black not black enough... grey too dark its almost black...after all these trigger pulls we become hyper- discriminating... and like I have preached in the past but not lately ...DALAI LAMA sez ; " u can't satisfy desire through acquisition ; u can only stoke the flame " sermon over... " BLESS US EVERYONE - "TINY TIM- CHARLES DICKENS- A CHISTMAS CAROL
Can we get an Amen?! Well said, as always. I can think of some very satisfying trigger pulls where everything lined up in the horological cosmos to feel like a "near" perfect watch, and even those have not sufficed when another shiny object has wandered into my view....or I have wandered into its view, perhaps. More begets more, which explains my handle of too many....
Ha, I just found out that my home insurance won't even cover my watches, since they now qualify as a "collection" so it's amazing what trouble I can get myself into. Now they want me to get them appraised, lol. I don't have a single "pricey" one in the bunch, really, in terms of what watches CAN cost, anyway.
Appraisal is not cheap, either, and I'm not about to pay a ton to get a bunch of Invictas appraised for being worth Invicta prices, ahaha. The appraisal would cost more than the watches, methinks. Funny that a bunch of affordable watches even adds up to a collection that even needs to be insured, lol.
I did find a good local resource, however, and he recommended just bringing in the ones I'd most want insured against loss or fire or flood or Wrath of Zeus or whatever. So, just my "nicer" brands, I suppose, and, if the place blows up, the lesser watches will just be fond memories, but maybe I can at least replace the ones that would be more costly to replace. Hope that's never the case!
But, good to be prepared, I guess, although I'll only be very semi-prepared, depending on which ones I decide to add to my policy.
