Randomly found this image. I’m somewhere between 4 and 5. Do you agree with the phases? What phase are you in?

Chewbacca · 1 August 2020, 05:26 AM

Some a-hole saw my Zoom background image!!!!

Seiko isn’t a start it’s a necessity. A Swatch or Casio is a Start!!!!!!

FTX I · 1 August 2020, 06:56 AM

TBH I don't remember going through any of those phases.

330ci · 1 August 2020, 07:05 AM

been through it all apparently. even flatlined once and have been brought back. First thing I did when I got out of the hospital was bought another rolex lmfao

and considering I was dead for a bit, I just restarted the cycle with a Rolex. So always fall up my friends

sgwatchguy · 1 August 2020, 08:42 AM

There’s more people that go straight from 1 to 11, not progress to any other “stage”. Based on that fact, I’d say this chart is BS

Old Expat Beast · 1 August 2020, 08:43 AM

Number 10 should be "Back to Seiko".

Pw92676 · 1 August 2020, 09:03 AM

I went from 2 (other swiss) to 4 (Rolex only) to 1 (just get seikos) then back to 4 (Rolex mainly) and now at 8 (watch industry is bs). LOL

Its a fun ride, I'm at about 4.5 now. You could find the right "one" early enough and not even hop on. Would that be any fun though?

GSDLover · 1 August 2020, 09:15 AM

Funny. Thanks for the effort putting that together.

Psmith · 1 August 2020, 01:54 PM

I'm back at 1.

gnuyork · 1 August 2020, 02:31 PM

I saw a similar chart to this but it started and ended with Seiko (if I recall).

Dr. Robert · 1 August 2020, 04:17 PM

#8 for me.

This actually made me LMAO because I am there right now.

Boothroyd · 2 August 2020, 12:42 AM

There is some truth in that chart! Guess I am approaching an 8.

Blansky · 2 August 2020, 01:11 AM

Pretty funny. I didn't go the vintage route but am hovering between #8 and #9.

Probably go from there directly to #11.

Had Seiko early, IWC, Omega, Rolex, PP, satisfied, retired, lost interest in paying 4 or 5 figures for a watch, Seiko.

CKizzy · 2 August 2020, 02:21 AM

I am at #4 currently, skipping #5 and sliding hard into #6!

haha it's pretty cool. doesn't apply to me whatsoever but i like the idea of charting my madness.
i started at 3, then kind of bundled 1,2 and 4 together, with a little hint of 8.
don't see a 12 on there but that's how many watches i have now so that's where i'm at.

Dyim · 4 August 2020, 01:28 AM

I went straight from 4 to 9.

Brenngun · 4 August 2020, 06:55 AM

9 heading rapidly toward 10 but may have to circle around a few more times before landing at 10.

#3 straight to #8 and delaying #11 as long as possible for me.

beshannon · 4 August 2020, 10:01 PM

I am between 9 & 10

AK797 · 5 August 2020, 05:23 AM

That's fairly accurate, only now we need the Rolex makes money phase in there too.
