Re: New watch

. . . . . but that employment will continue to decline????!!!???

National and world political and economic commentary aside (that means you Jim), as we approach one year after the sinking realization that capital markets were, well, sinking, how was the last year different in your collecting life than the year before?

In order to make your comments more objective,

1) give a few tangible statistics or measurement on your collecting activity (like watches bought, post counts, time spent, dollars spent, times your spouse or SO yelled at you about watches):

a. October 2007-September 2008

versus

b. October 2008-September 2009

2) As well as how your attitude and enjoyment of collecting during the two periods have differed?

Say, for instance, has your collecting goal and "Grail" watches changed? Your expectations for your collecting? Do you spend more or less time being a WIS?

The world has changed in the last year, as it always does. What do you thing the next year holds for you as a WIS?
