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.

I know, I built a few once, gave away a couple of watches, used a lot of parts and accessories, but I seem to have more now than I had before.....what's going on?

The void is calling, man.
It's the collector in you :D

Honestly, I would not worry.
It is so much fun to hunt down parts and then just possess them.
