hi! 係甘的,本人玩錶年資尚淺,
起初只係睇下同買下小品牌,同埋貪玩借d朋友名牌錶戴,
但當我買了第一隻勞力士后,便每曰沉迷上網睇錶了。

幾乎什麼品牌都睇,奴力氏、帝驼、阿米ga等每日看不停,
連一些不知名品牌亦看不停,什至不知不覺又買了幾隻金表。
已到了不能自拔的地步,已無心工作。

想問各方師兄有無方法幫我解脱,是否患上了瘋狂購物症??
你地玩錶甘耐,有無觉得自己玩緊錶 ? 定糸一直俾錶玩緊你 ?
Literally...
"Hi! It's like this, personally i'm still quite a noob when it comes to watch collecting hobby.
Initially started with looking on and playing with small brands, at the same time playful enough to borrow some of the friends' expensive pieces to wear and play.
But after i got my first Rolex, i've become more addicted to go online every single day to look at watches.

Almost any brand i will not miss, Rolex, Tudor, Omega, etc... everyday, no stop.
Even some of the unknown brands will not escape my eyes as well, i had even acquired some gold watches unexpectedly.
I have to a stage where i couldn't control myself, even no enthusiasm to commit myself to work.

I would like to seek fellow seniors here for advise, is there anyway to pull me out of this addiction, had i contracted the "shopaholics" sickness?
You all had been playing with watches for so long, ever felt that you yourself are playing with watches? Or the watches are playing with you reversely?"

我有時戴勞出街, 總有種不太自然不太好的感覺,
系咪即系我這人仲未到達配戴勞的境界/身份 ??
Literally...
"Sometime i when i wear my Rollie out, there's often this kind of unatural and doesn't feel good sense hitting my mind.
Is it someone like me have not come to a stage or social status where i don't fit to put a Rolex on my wrist?"

You had pointed out one of the thing in life when it comes to this hobby.

Back to what i had posted... it is relevant to the original post as there are lots of folks out there are as clueless as the HK fella can be.
How do we determine a value of the expensive piece? By the name? By the heart? Or just a personal vain?
Lots of fellow members here may not agree with me...
Very often we keep hearing or seeing Rolex keeps their value well. To be fair... i agree... when that particular piece may have been flipped to the 3rd hands. From there... the flipping price may not go too low anymore. However... to the first hand buyers, how much do they lost?
Flip after 1st year of possession? 2nd year? 3rd year?
Flip after 1st hand? after 2nd hand? after 3rd hand?

OT... (usually moi dun like to say...)
Wearing a rolex does not make someone atas.
Someone poor does not make him cannot afford one.
Buy what u like, not ppl like.
Buy what u can afford but not on credit.
Buy dun have the intention of making a profit or investment,
if that is the case, better off buying stocks or others ...
Investment if yr watch cost a HDB flat (unique pc)
but most of the bros here take it has a fun hobby (with personal urge control),
of cos it is an expensive hobby over time.
Family come first, do not buy for the sake of buying.
If you can afford, happy for u.
Just lao uncle 2cents view, IMHO.
