It’s been a tough week resisting the urge to buy a watch. Over six months have passed since my last purchase, and to be honest, I’m not sure how I’ve made it this far.
I have a few watch straps on the way and a few more under consideration. For now, that will have to do. I’ve kept things relatively modest because, in the end, indulging excessively in something else isn’t really self-control—just substitution.
Restraint is difficult, and I’ve tried to reflect that in my images—perhaps as a mirror of my state of mind, a kind of simplification and a hint of wabi-sabi. Whatever it is, it’s not easy, but for me, it feels worthwhile.
Photobook front cover? 😅
And finally, the most beautiful piece of music I’ve heard today.
Have a great day fellow watch addicts! 🙏

Superb photo Trevor. Hang on in there, you can do it 💪😁
Great shots of the Hammy Trevor!! I feel your pain. I have been trying pretty successfully to buy nothing that is not food, necessary clothing or fuel. I did break down and buy watch strap a few days ago that was part of my continued support of Ukraine but perfect is the enemy of good I guess. 😀

Thanks, Colin. I will try! 🥴

That’s impressive, Steve and I really respect that! 🙏

Thanks, James - I appreciate the confidence 😜Have a great day!
These are all terrific shots Trevor. And I was listening to Sonic…Youth this morning whilst working out, you almost had me. 😎 This one with vibes of Vangelis Nocturne, which I have been enjoying lately. Have a great day buddy. 🙏🏻😎
Love the crown shot of the Hamilton!
Awesome shots, Trevor! That first one is really great 😍
Futuristic piece 💯
Cheers, Ned!
Very artistic, Trevor.👌🏼
Beautiful shots!
Thank you, Sal!
These shots are masterpieces Trevor 😍💯
The first one is pure Zen, Hamilton should take notice.
Stay strong, buddy 💪
My first test is getting over this hump. I have a birthday coming up, and I think it’s been on my mind. 😜
Really appreciate your words—cheers, Mauro!
It’s tough Trevor! The state of mind and other things happening in life makes it even more difficult. On top of everything else, I missed a couple of watches that I was really hunting for years and that doesn’t sit well inside me but I fight it. I don’t know for how much longer but for the time being it works although patience is painful. Beautiful shots, a bit melancholic, but beautiful. I love the song too 💯
Sometimes it’s easy, and sometimes it’s tricky, but you’re right—other factors in life come into play. Maybe a little stress is creeping in, and for me, a birthday coming up as well.
Cheers, Kostas! 🍻🙏
Real nice pics, Trevor. Glad to see you are being restrained in your photography style as well as your purchases
I like your photo a lot Trevor. They are stunning as always. I miss see them more often 😅😅
It’s being easy for me. Having no money helps😂😂😂
Sometimes I just think, feck it—I’ll buy it all. 😅 Luckily for me, I like money more, and the idea of ‘winning’ this challenge feels pretty great too.
Thanks, Napilut! 🙏😊
Great shots, Trevor!
Many thanks, Jakub! 🍻
Very artistic, Trevor.👌🏼
Cheers, Marko! My contribution to the crunch for the week! 😜😅
Cheers, Marko! My contribution to the crunch for the week! 😜😅
And what a contribution it was! 👏🏼💪🏼🍻
Stunning shots Trevor and I admire your restraint. I must learn to apply some of that in the future when it comes to watches 😂
That looks better than most press shots for sure! You're teasing us only posting every now and then Trevor 😅 but it's worth that wait! Different wait than yours 🤣
An iconic Hamilton Trevor, great photo shot to boot, enjoy the day.
I’m feeling the pain/itch a little myself… a desire to consolidate and go for a larger piece I’ve been after and yet at the same time I feel content… wild!
Outstanding shots Trevor! The composition is perfect!
Beautiful shots! I think they help focus on the amazing watches you already have. Courage! I know how hard it is to fight the itch!
