Very nice!

But you ain't retired. You'll be back in around... 10-15 years when those watches finally die (natural or unnatural causes) and it's time to balance the difference between repairing and replacing them. It's either that or something reasonably priced "whimsical" comes to your attention and you know you'll regret not pulling the trigger.

Plus looking for watches to upgrade your kids or your wife's watch ain't considered retired.


Take it from someone who said, "I think I'm good until I aim for a holy grail!" and then I kept finding some fun stuff for under $250... so some were suggestions to the wife when she had no idea what to get me for birthday and special occasions/milestone celebrations etc.

It was kinda fun to see your evolution over like 24 months or so when you tipped your toe in with a Seiko 5 to now owning an Omega. Congrats!
