Do you lust after a particular watch simply because it's out of reach? Because you know no matter how much you save, you'll never be able to afford it - or if you could afford it, you'd never find it because it is so rare?Or are you like me and scan Japanese web sites for exotic pieces that are only available in the Far East, but are actually quite common? I used to get a thrill every time I slipped on my mass produced Japan-only Seiko Sumo because you couldn't get it here. It was therefore "rare." Is chasing the unobtainable the essence of collecting? Is that why many of us move from watch to watch seeking contentment?Maybe not.The flip side of rarity is Invicta, which is readily available but generates incredible passion among it's fans. There is no such thing as an unobtainable Invicta, but people love to collect 'em.How much does rarity play a part in your horological dreams?
