I’ve been collecting for about 4 years now. Many pieces have come, and these are what’s left. There will be more but feeling pretty happy with what I have. However, I’d love for someone to roast my collection. I love watches but I also love the idea that they’re not serious. Let it rip and let me have it, roast the sh*t out of my collection.

Why the fuck anyone would spend this much on watches when they could spend the same on a boat, a helicopter or a small villa in the mountains is beyond me. It doesn't impress me at all. It seems absolutely batshot insane.

I get what you mean. But the most I could buy if I sold this collection is a very nice car, which will just depreciate with time.

Fair point. It's not the worst investment a person could make.

Have you considered (1) that they aren't trying to impress you; and (2) that maybe they can afford these watches AND a boat, helicopter, etc?
