I am a hoarder,

Every day i browse ebay and other sites , my heart beats faster when I find and buy a rare plexi glass, a NOS vintage handset or a good looking dial

I am a hoarder,

Its not the kill, but its the thrill of the chase (copyrights deep purple) finding that bezel for a 100 , seeing that 22mm tropic and clicking "buy now" before Fred sees it as well (sorry Fred) or a perfect SO2005 case

I am a hoarder,

This vintage collecting never seems to take a back seat when you know that the part you may not need right now will be invaluable in 18 months, its here when you dont need it , you cant find them for any price when you do.

I am a hoarder

Luckily being a spare parts hoarder can be an affordable hobby, but when you start looking at watches thinking "its a frankenwatch , but i need the hands and the bezel, how much can i sell the case for ?" You realize you should never have sold the parts you used to have

I am a hoarder.... And treasure every piece i still have

:wink:

That is hilarious though.

Rene it would be nice to see your collection, "watches and whiskeys" could be a new thread. PS try Glenkinchie that's my favorite.
