You aren't alone
I keep the nice bags, but I save most of the watch catalogs I get. The watch industry seems to be one of the few that has continued to print beautiful promotional material. I like that many of the manufacturers have embraced technology and have great iPad apps but that they still complement them with beautiful printed books.
I think I shop too much ...
But unfortunately I rarely leave with watches! Do any of you collect watch-related paraphernalia, of any type? Andrew...
I collect paper bags from watch brands
since I can no longer afford the watches :)- best, Horo
LOL! I thought it was only me...
Hey, horo... The coolest bag is one the Blancpain bags with actual luminous on the hands of the pictured watch on the outside. BTW - you inspired a pic over on the auto forum...

I certainly have a lot of these bags...
I'm very wealthy in bags from watch companies. Oh, and I'm not throwing these bags out anymore. In San Francisco, we have a shopping bag tax. Every time you go to the store and buy something, you have to pay sales tax on the item, and a shopping bag tax p...
In most Central Europe, you have to py for the bags in the shop since ...
... more than a decade, uh, maybe even two. This makes you carrying a stock of sturdy plastic bags in the car all the time. However, I fear our plastic litter has not become less since. Regards, Marcus
Good to know!
I never noticed that during my travels! In California, I think it is making a small difference. The majority of people are bringing their own bags to the market now (in my local area) in an effort to conserve and reduce waste.
Perhaps I should take them grocery shopping ...
... and inject a little sparkle into the mundane supermarket visit?! A ...
Doesn't fit the big milk containers.
Here in the USA. I buy milk in USA gallons (3.78 liters). The bags wouldn't fit the shape of the milk gallon. Funny thing. Milk is almost less expensive than gasoline.
I used to keep these things ...
... including the catalogues. However, after getting rid of a ton or so of unused material during my last moving, I made it a custom to throw away the bags, catalogues, CD-ROMs and so on, after I used them. Otherwise my new house would be stuffed already....
I used to collect things...
But now I just bin most of them. It used to be a thing of how many things you were given at SIHH or Baselworld but now it is a challenge to leave with very little. I only keep books and odd things from watches I have or are shopping for... artly as my off...
LooL :-)
Very Cool Pic :-), I have a pile of stuff I've collected over the years, the books and catalogues I shelve but the bags are either in a pile in the corner or used for Laundry or Gift giving service LoooL :-) S
interesting..
... i think many of us do the same thing, i believe you are alone out there. at least i still keep many of these bags and catalogs etc in the house, am just worried i need to throw most of them when i am going to move house 2 years later :-( in any case, ...
Oh heavens yes...
Hi Andrew, not bags, although I do keep much of this stuff in a nice red Omega bag but swag in general such as dealer display mats, a sign, pens, travel cases etc. I also have a nice pile of the Omega Lifetime magazines. and books on watches, they are gr...
Great Omega paraphernalia
I would have been excited to find that Omega sign as well, Zac. Nicely done. Andrew
LOL! I had a ton of these bags, and still have quite a lt.
Are you opening a Watch shop? :) Best, Nicolas
Yes, and I'd give you a bunch if Australia was closer!
I tried selling the books and catalogs for $1 a pound and offloaded about 500 lbs worth so now my stash is manageable! Cazalea
