Re: Discussion Topic: Current Objectives for Collectors?

Great topic, Jeff. This is me, a the moment:

Current objectives Expanding the collection of manual Carreras and Autavia. However, lately I have been contemplating about adding an Rlx 5512/5513/6263/6265/1665 to the family (yes, Father, I'm a sinner!)
Long-term plans: Haunting watches that keep putting a smile on my face;
Expanding/Consolidating: Expanding as mentioned above. Consolidating is always the plan, but often buying is much easier than selling. In my case, consolidating would give cash for more watches;
Missing sold watches: The few watches I sold are not missed and I know the reason...they were duplicates!...LOL
Exit strategy: Exit what?

In summary I just like watches, and especially Heuers! No specific agenda, no financial/investment goal, no horizontal-vertical-diagonal or any other geometric approach to the collection that I am aware of. Not particularly aggressive either. I finally learned that the watch-of-my-life for sale one day is replaced by another watch-of-my-life the following week.

My collection started in 2003 with a Viceroy for $350 (huge watch investment for me a that time). A fantastic journey and I trust the best is yet to come!

Cheers,
Francesco
