Desires extending past your means

[Bonesey]

Ugh, why can't I be happy I have far too many things I would like to buy that I just don't have funds for. Things are getting tighter and it's always a shame to let one thing go to fund another.

Currently needed;

318 caseback
111 handset
new SeaDweller
Sead's awesome Explorer II
Would love a Tudor panda dial chrono with gen dial
I've got two pam cases incomming for custom builds + dials + parts
I know there will be more awesome PAM reps coming as well this year

Anyone else ever feel like this?

I think many will follow... I have postponed a whole project over 4 months due to no founds...
I have put a limit to my rep/mod/franken budget and i will never get over it, so when i need to buy something i have to sell something else..
Currently i want around 10 watches, but my rule says no more than 5, and the founds also agree:lol:

Someone much wiser than me told me "May you always want to live,but never live to want"
Some times we need to stop, look around and give thanks. Not just keep looking beyond.
I hope I don't sound like Yoda, but maybe it's not a bad thing to slow down..
My 2cents

Forgot to say I also need a high beat movement for my 367 and a Kuvarsit platinum plated movement for my 112 icard:

Its call retail therapy...when I am stressed and fellin like I about to off the rails on the crazy train, I buy shit, lots of stuff because somehow I think that makes me feel better LOL.

Like I said in the chat box the other day Rob, how terrible the problems are for those of us living in the 1st world.

Good thread Bones.

I think we're all feeling the pinch! I have to sell three watches to get my grail.

I'm thinning out both my replica and affordable gen collection for a gen JLC Grande Reverso Duo... in case anyone is wondering why they keep seeing sales threads from me.

Yep Paul, I´m thinning out too, letting go the old 21J stuff and switching to higher end for all, that´s the way things happen with the rep hobby i suppose

And I´can feel for Bones too, have some stuff comming in and it´s getting more expensive from order to order...

In the same boat. Had a "conversation" with the wife about my obsession just after Christmas where we agreed that my spending was out of control and that I need to "rein it in" a (big) bit!

So just sold a new Tag and a Citizen to fund another watch, 2 out, 1 in. Doesn't feel right somehow!
