What have you never collected but always wanted to?

I've always liked the idea of collecting watches. As a kid, the thought of owning a Rolex—or even knowing someone who had one—felt surreal, like superhero status.

As I got older, that excitement faded a bit, but even though I'm not too fussed about material things anymore, watches still make me stop and stare whenever I pass a shop window. A couple of years ago, I finally bought one for £300—nothing crazy, but it had always been a life goal to own a watch I genuinely liked.

What about you? Is there something you've always wanted to collect?

Nice mate i never been into bling but i do watch a lot videos on Facebook i cant remember his name, he an American and always going mazzal and does a lot coin flips and do find it fascinating

The comics keeps me on my toes but always fancied a collection of old horror and sci fi movie posters, think the main reason i not gone down that route is not being able to display them and obviously cost as originals do cost a bit.

Yeah I've always wanted a nice watch...not a show off watch but something I really liked.

I remember a few years ago I finally bought one and spent £300 ish which is the most I could bring myself to spend haha. Spend a tonne on collectibles but anything else I come out in a sweat

One question...(I already know the answer) when you were younger did you cut out watches from magazines and Sellotape them round your wrist? I did and I'm sure others did in my class. So I presumed this was the done thing

Since then I've asked people and all look at me like I'm odd 🤣

How long has your brother been collecting for?

Mate I wouldn't drop the money he does. Absolutely not. Well, I couldn't if I wanted to!

And no. That is not something I've ever heard of. Consider yourself looked at like you're odd again!

It's time to bring that style back

Pun intended

I have always wanted a Patek Philippe but could never justify spending that kind of money.
So for now I'll have to cut one out of a magazine and put it around my wrist haha.
