I'm done with watches, only have one grail left. Its a kind of a hybrid with the incredible Spring Drive movement
Now I'm into folding knives, but more custom stuff like Scott Cook Lochsa, Marfione Anax, Haslauer SBH and so on

Oh boy, please tell me your secret!!! I would love to be done with watches, got over 200 and the collection is still growing.





ps. Seiko Springdrive is indeed also a nice one. Still want to pick up a GS, but prefer an pure mechanical one. Like the SBGW05

The secret for me was the SBGA109
Was blown away by the accuracy of Spring Drive. So I could spend the money for knives and other stuff

As of lately, I was hit with the spinner bug. Up to ~20 with a good 8+ more in transit or on order.

you mean hand spinner? If so, which do you advise?

Yeah, hand spinners. Well I've bought about 30 of them, and I've given away about 14. I have 8 more on the way.

My EDC - Kong It's tiny, still packs a little bit of the Gyroscopic Precession but definitely not as much as a weighted one. I put a nice quiet bearing in it and it's inconspicuous, so fine to mess with at work without annoying people. ~$20 USD

My longest spinner - By a long shot the Triton V2 from vc-edc It's super smooth and has a nice weight. ~$60 USD

My favorite to stare at - Maelstrom from flyawaytoys. They've released a bunch of new models, I have the Original, the mini, and the Titanium. It has an interesting build style, where the parts are friction fit by freezing one part and allowing it to warm up and expand to secure it inside the other. The part I like about it, and I think it might get lost in say their bead-blasted or otherwise non-standard models. I imagine this is where they got the name, but the machining marks on the non-sanded/blasted versions create a cool reflective swirl. It's not super elaborate but it was a pretty cool thing to see. ~ $120-150 depending on metal

The most puzzling one - Pepyakka S from Custom Knife Factory. This is not released yet, but it blended a couple of my (currently) favorite things, mechanical puzzles (in a rudimentary definition of the term) and Spinners. It's something that's parts go together to hold itself together to hold it's parts together, blah blah, etc. No screws glue or stuff like that. $425 USD

The one I lusted for - One Drop TrilliumI got it, It's mine, so I'll tell ya now. It's an amazingly well manufactured spinner with available (and included, at least another set) weight options. They have their own brand of bearing in them that I have in most all of my most-used spinners, the 10-ball. I just really enjoy the feel, weight, and appearance of this one. $180 USD

What I'd honestly recommend for the budget - Spinetic Spinners Y It's not exorbitantly priced, it's speedy, fidgetable, and not super loud (though able to be improved with a sealed bearing) Might have a few severe edges for those with sensitive hands, but I never had problems. The Y's are the ones I've given away the most of. When I give one away, I buy another to replace it.

All this being said, I'm not a fan of clones, I prefer to give my business to the people who came up with the designs when possible, though I haven't always done a thorough background check on impulse purchase. So certainly you might find some of the examples I provided for sale at a cheaper price at fasttech or the like. They might be good enough too.

Hope that helps.

Updated as I acquired the one I kept secret so I'll tell it now.

I collect copper repousse art (vases, bowls, picture, or wall art) from all over the world. They're not very expensive but I really like well made hand made items.

Lego, mainly Architecture (have nearly everything before 2017, somehow my budget got tanked by my discovery of Revomazes) and Technic (Power Functions).

Just started collecting patches and Hate project pigs!

Along with Revomaze puzzles, Popplocks, Hanayama puzzles, puzzle boxes, safes, chainsaws, handguns, magnets, lasers, robots, game boy advance collectable video games and others, way too many things !!!
