What other luxury items do you buy outside the normal Timepieces, Cars, Jewlery, Diamonds, Houses, Travel?

I'm starting to take a like to expensive handcrafted pens and office items created from stone.

What about you guys?

I've high value military medals. Cost too much to insure so donated them to a museum.

I'm now on a mission to centralise all my family medals.

You got that right. I could have had a Platona and a TT CHNR for what I spent on college for my youngest. Now that she has graduated, HOPE she can get a job related to the degree. But, no student loan debt, I guess we got that going for us. :)

I love a nice fountain pen. My most expensive hobby is Astrophotography. The hardware is crazy expensive. I’m also big into Cuban cigars and pipes and pipe tobacco. I have pipes worth around 4K. Having fine taste generally speaking is very expensive.

And I know you said no cars, but I bought my fantasy car last week and gotta brag

Nothing 'luxury' per se, but I do enjoy buying quality products. High end single origin coffees, aged Scotch, fine pens, hand made shoes, audio equipment, etc.

I just don't like low or mediocre quality of anything.

Chloe&Harley · 15 July 2019, 07:10 AM

Nothing outrageous but ...a few coins and art

Besides the kids I also enjoy nice acoustic guitars and beach vacations.

Randomgary · 15 July 2019, 07:19 AM

Forgot to mention, whisky aswell. I have a yearly trip to Islay.

Love my peated malt

enjoythemusic · 15 July 2019, 07:25 AM

Audio gear, percussion/drums, cameras/lenses... and wife.

The last one is the most costly ;-)

GB-man · 15 July 2019, 08:08 AM

Watches are fun but I mostly collect old masters Durer, Caravaggio and Vermeer.

just watches but I do tend to research and buy quality across the board when possible.

I have several >$12k bicycles, which I don’t consider to be luxury items....but my son’s bikes have to be custom made for his size, which seem like luxury purchases.

FTX I · 15 July 2019, 09:31 AM

None. Other than books and music cds I spend my money travelling.

Fat_ninja · 15 July 2019, 09:45 AM

My undergarments are always way too soft from the fabric softener...so now I buy undergarments every other week. So that’s a luxury item for me

;)

yoniman · 15 July 2019, 09:57 AM

Health.
In 50's and no maintenance drugs/ medication whatsoever.
( T'is a lie, I self-medicate with beer, wine and whiskey. But that's about it)

Cheers

superdog · 15 July 2019, 10:19 AM

Cars.

timepieceluvr · 15 July 2019, 10:31 AM

The wife costs me plenty....

Jewelry, purses, shoes, clothes. She is worth every penny to put up with me
