Shoes. I have a particular taste for Trickers. Thinned my collection out lately to only what I really need and I'm down to 6 which was no fun!

I have accumulated lots of cufflinks, signed books, single malt whisky, ink and devices for sharpening the nibs of old quill pens.

I collect actively pens and watches (by collect I mean I have a detailed knowledge of the history of each piece and have a plan for how I see each collection developing)

- Things that go bang and cannot be mentioned
- Wine (started a cellar in the home and we have about 100 bottles and growing)
- I am very big into attending sporting events - BCS/CFP Championship games, Master's, Player's, NFC Championship, Bowl Games, SEC Championship, PGA Championship, FedEx Cup, World Series, etc

I have collected a few other things in my short life, but now I am moving on to travel/memories, rounds of golf, and hours in my airplane!

I collect a couple of things that I use, single malt and cologne.
And a couple things I keep for me, 17th century art from a relative and from my grandfather. Ironically it's easier to get the 1600's stuff than the 1900's pieces. He sold gave it all away to friends and passed on very little to the family. I definitely didn't get the art gene, but my brother is extremely talented even though he's entirely self taught.
I also collect cash to afford some traveling with the family.

Scotty Cameron Putters...Every so often a putter needs to go to jail for a while.

I try to collect money, but it's not going that great due to my watch hobby.

How would you rate your passion of collecting watches on a scale of 10 vs other things that you collect?

I like Trickers, I have only the one pair though, they were the first pair of "good" shoes I bought. (Keswick).

Unintentionally I seem to have collected wallets and card holders. I also like to buy different Gins from around the world.

Pens, mainly Mont Blanc, but have another exciting one on the way.

Ammunition launchers I can't show pictures of.

Other than watches, what else do you collect?

I'm a child of the 80's and love my hair metal bands. Sadly living in central Canada, a lot of the bands didn't make their way up here.

Motley Crue being my holy grail I collect a lot of rare items and everything signed was in person by me.

I finished my collecting for my Cruseum last year and started collecting signed guitars. When I see a deal on a guitar I buy it and get it signed by whoever fits the style of guitar I have available. I just started my top row last weekend. I have space for 5 more.

Cameras and a small guitar collection and getting into some vinyl. I could see going down the vintage turntable rabbit hole. I have two now.

Besides watches, some pens, guns and bags like backpacks and what not.. I have developed an interest in whiskey and bourbon one or the other but I have no idea where to get started.

Re: Whisky --- Your local total wine or bevmo is a great place to 'expand' that hobby and offer insight on what to try.

You can start with the most popular ones and work your way from there i.e.

Macallan
Glenfiddich
Ardbeg
Glenmorangie
Johnie Walker
Chivas

I have recently also started enjoying Japanese Whisky and Habiki is one of my favs...

Just be careful it does get addictive (and semi expensive) as well...
