Good question Hamilton...  I've been collecting for a little over 3 years now or so.  

Sometimes I think it's more for the thrill of the hunt and the acquisition; the anticipation of knowing something's incoming - like birthdays and Christmas anytime you want it. 

There's also a certain satisfaction of having something that only a small number of people in the world have - limited editions really get the ticker pumping. 

And then there's the appreciation of the complexitiy of a mechanical movement and what went in to building it by hand - some movements are really works of art.

And, oh yeah, they can really be chick magnets...
