    I think the vast majority of watch nuts are guys, but there are definitely a few women who have been bitten by the bug as well. Now if I could just fine one of them in my area who is single.............

    If you find the sister of the gal, you can recommend her to me too.

    If you can find a girl who doesn't mind your hobby and the mailman dropping off boxes from time to time . Mine has the collector gene just as bad as I do, hers being the need to take up a closet in the house with about 70 pairs of shoes . So my watch hobby isn't as quite as bad, nor does it take up quite as much space :-D . But the comics, that's where we are both pretty bad, which how we met . And she did get me Citizen Eco-Drive Perpetual Calender watch for Valentines Day, so I guess I should consider myself one of the lucky ones:gold .

    Yep, mostly men, me thinks. My wife is slowly getting the watch bug. There are certain watches that she really likes wearing and has put them off-limits in terms of selling/trading.

    However, she wants three watches specifically, and they are all a rather expensive (a Bulgari Aluminium, a Rolex Lady's Perpetual and a Cartier Pasha). We'll get them eventually, one at a time, but it's nice that she likes them, as it always provides me the opening when I want to acquire a new one!

    Having said all of that, my wife also really likes diamonds, pearls and white gold, so I guess her main personal collecting hobby is also rather expensive. It evens out in the end (I hope).
