[Question] Why is it so much fun building imaginary collections? (alien.top)

Like the title says basically. I could spend hours imagining whole collections which would be cool to own. I mean yes sure holding the real pieces in your hand feels great as well. But I think the anticipated enjoyment is equally as exciting if not more. I am currently starting out with collecting and will soon go for my 3rd watch. Maybe the most important watch of any collection. But let’s see. I hope I am not alone with this 😂

I spend hours trawling Aliexpress and putting stuff in my cart. I can then revisit my cart and drop stuff I don’t want. I have a pretty tight dozen or so watches which have remained in there for a while.
It’s nice and easy to just pick one I know I want when I have spare cash.

But there is lots of fun browsing and choosing.

You can also spend hours looking at straps and bracelets for them as well! :)
