so...i dont collect anything. haven't since I was a kid with comic books.
I help the wife collect, fix, and sell vintage sewing machines, but that's about it.
I inherited some watches a while ago, (nothing special or anything) and stuck them in a drawer where they have sat, never worn. (except one)
a recent thread about watches, where I posted pics of the ones I inherited, got me wondering if maybe I wouldn't enjoy collecting watches. thus, I stuck my Samsung smart watch in the drawer and started wearing the Seiko Chronograph watch.
Its heavy and feels very substantial. I have not had a "good" watch since my Citizen Eco-Drive was lost over a decade ago. (unless you count my fossil blue watch) I realize the Seiko is not exactly something one would really look for as a collector piece, but it actually felt good to have a somewhat decent watch on again.
my question is this...supposing I did decide to start collecting watches....
where would be a good place to start gathering information? a good/active watch forum?
how does one decide which watches to collect?
