Other hobbies/Obsessions?

2shea

So is it just watches people on here are obsessed with or have you other interests?

For me it's Motorbikes. Watches came first but I love my bike and everything to do with it.

Two costly hobbies but it keeps me occupied.

It used to be cars and I'd change annually. But a new watch is easier to hide, and less likely for the kids to ruin.

Haha so true. But my wife likes watches too so she'd spot a new one in a flash.

Cheaper then changing the car every year too I'd imagine

Knives, belstaff jackets, "escape tactical bags", torches. Well that's what we should be into if you go by TZUK!

It really is. But I notice alot of females don't really have any hobbies. Some men don't either but defiantly more so women.

They seem to enjoy doing certain things but not to the extent of nerds such as ourselves.

Every man needs a good watch and a good pair of shoes!
It's the one item of clothing is never skimp on. Shoes be it runners for training or dress/work shoes.

Oh yeah, I definitely love my tech gadgets but don't end up actually using many of them other than my phone and my laptop.

Cars would be a big one for me too, have my nice car for everyday and my jeep for off roading and hunting. I hunt too so have a few guns, loads of knives and i go to the gym every morning before work. Up until last year there were mountain bikes and dirt bikes in there too but i got sick of breaking myself up and decided to knock them on the head... sold the bike and bought a new watch! Haha

Wibbs

With the amount of hobbies, interests and collections I've fostered in my time, at this stage I see myself more as a curator rather than a collector. I may start charging people for tours of my gaff.

Ya wanna see the launch directors personal signed copy of the NASA Gemini 6/7 mission, the first rendezvous in space? I'm your boyo.

And that's only scratching the surface of my particular madness. :eek:

I collect whiskey, but not really collect as I don't keep it, I drink it.

I work with airplanes but am not an aerosexual like IrishPlayer.

Football is my main hobby, Bohs and Villa. I enjoy shouting abuse at strangers so that's probably why.

Basically I collect watches, whiskey, football scarfs and rubber ducks.

Keyzer

Music - listening to and playing. Collector of guitars and recently developed an obsession for piano.

Clothes.

Astronomy. Just to point out there will be a blood moon and full lunar eclipse visible in Ireland on Friday. The best time to see the eclipse will be from 9.32pm until 10.13pm :cool:

...And collecting Nike Runners. 90's, 95's, 97's, TN's and Cortez. I've about 25 pairs of Nike still in the box :eek: :eek: :eek:

I do wear some of them now and again

blue5000

Is the next meet up going to be at Wibbs' gaff?

I collect vintage swimwear:rolleyes:

No seriously, I do a bit of blacksmithing in my spare time.

This one is a part for a tractor hitch.

This is a poker with a wizard head handle for halloween.

Quite the eclectic bunch aren't we

RMDrive

I drum. A space and money hungry hobby

I have recently developed an obsession with finding original 1980s Japanese mechanics overalls.

I do struggle to explain why... Even to myself.

My wife asks that a lot and I don't have a good answer.
It started with a set of Grace Engineers overalls I got from Japan just cause they looked comfy. Started researching older stuff from the 80s, focusing on branded jdm stuff. Slippery slope.

Deep Thought

Golf...was good once, now a bad 7 handicap and as a kid collected coins.

I recently seen a work man in Japan with air fans built into his jacket. I heard the little fan noise looked down and there were two fans on the rear of the jacket blowing/pulling air into his jacket.

Mountain bikes, race (badly) in the gravity enduro races here in Ireland but mainly for fun/fitness. Could buy a Daytona if I sold all of them and associated gear.

Great outdoors (camping, hiking etc) could buy a sub if I sold all that gear. Don't get out as much anymore due family life and bikes taking priority.

Aviation, work in the airport and live in swords all my life so just is what it is.

Is owning a hyper black lab a hobby? Either way he gets more attention than anything above.

Ohhh Edit....

Pearl Jam... seen them live 7 times. Have a great little collection of memorabilia, some quiet valuable. Still haven't decided how to display it all.

Does Mrs Sparrowcar know the value of all these items

I could drop it into conversation next time I see her

(I know Mr and Mrs Sparrowcar by the way
