I mean once you've started, you gotta wear these things, look at them all day, make wristies and other compulsive acts, bear the envious looks of your peers.
And then, even more vicious, your drawers have to face emptiness and this in turn will force you to hoard even more stuff, just to fill the void.
These boxes are like stashes of crack. And Biggie already preached in his 10 crack commandments: "(Rule) Number 4, I know you heard this before, never get high on your own supply."

:P :P :P
True that but remember commandment # 8 Never keep no weight on you! So Package it up to your dealers! :crazy:

Definitely not. Your hobby is the collection of parts, and your pleasure is to contemplate its potential to become beatiful watches. If you execute that potential, your entire collection loses its value. And you will have to stock up again. A watch is not built because you have the pieces for it, it is built because you desire a certain watch. Building only because you have the pieces does not make sense.

Yes, building has been on my mind for a good while now, but life in general seems to get in the way.

The boxes comes from a museum, they used to have these airtight boxes for insects in their old exhibition and I was lucky to get them when they upgraded.
