After the Dust Settles, the Watch Collection Should be at 12

If everything on eBay sells in the next week or so, my watch count should be down to 12. In two weeks, I should have my Tuna and my Sumo (yeah, I re-purchased it), so here's the collection in order of preference:

1. Seiko Tuna SBBN017

2. Seiko Sumo SBDC001

3. Orient M-Force, black dial

4. Orient M-Force, orange dial

5. Seiko Black Monster, Gen II

6. Deep Blue Depthmaster, orange dial

7. Molarity Diver

8. Seiko Black Monster, Gen I

9. Eco-Zilla on rubber strap

10, 11, 12: Invicta Force Master, black, silver, and blue dials

My goal is to enjoy the collection where it stands and not buy a watch for a year. One watch a year would suit me just fine.

Final Note: I'll need to contact my home owner's insurance as my current collection doesn't at all resemble the one from over a year ago.

The parallels between our collections are striking - we truly are "watch obsession brothers" (or is it, co-habitants of a watch crack house?).

Your Tuna equates with my OSD; then there's the Sumo; you have two different color Orient M-Forces, I have the Revolvers. You have the Depthmaster, I have the Abyss. We both have the 1st gen Black Monster. After that it starts breaking down a bit - I'm a bit more focused on micro-divers. You have one Citizen, as do I, but they are very different.

Yes, we have been on a similar watch journey and now I hope we enjoy a much needed hiatus from more watches as we can enjoy the ones we have.

I'm scared. This austerity movement (at least in quantity) is unsettling. I don't like change. What are you going to write about? We've been existing on watches and radios for years now. What's next? Cheesecake recipes? Scared. Very scared.

Ha ha, I know what you mean, Angelo. I'm hoping Jeff posts more "Herculodge Chronicles" posts so I have something to comment on.
