Christmas and eBay watch shopping

This is a very unscientific observation based merely on informal information on eBay items: stuff is expensive on eBay now. I'm not seeing any cheap watches; I'm seeing lots of bidding. This is good as I've sold a couple watches (Nixon Primer which was way too small, for example). I think I'll have to wait until after Christmas to make any new purchases. Maybe we'll see some buy it now deals after Christmas? Or just less shopping?

New/old Arrival: Oakley D2 watch

Okay, early on I got the D2 in blue, before I really understood the significance of my early watch desires. I was young (you know, 34) and stupid (same guy) and I thought a blue watch would make sense. I was very wrong. Anyway, I have been looking for a black D2 and would then sell my blue one. I did both successfully, and actually made a few bucks. I like Oakley products, and often wear their clothes and always wear their sunglasses, and have three pairs of RX Oakley shades. I had another pair stolen about a decade ago.
In any event, good watch, a little small, funky but cool shape. Similar button layout to the D1. The rubber feels a little weird, but different weird from the D1. Maybe because it's been off the market for about a decade.
Here's the D2 below.

Minor Epiphany?

I think I may start thinning out my herd of watches and focusing on quality not quantity. There are watches that I never wear. I don't think I could sell them for much on eBay, but I might as well get something instead of nothing for them, and put the money towards something I will enjoy and wear time and again. So my number may go down, but as always I have my eyes open for some new buys. And Christmas is coming up, and I may do some bartering.... More to come.
