@Chris Duncan have you checked out the watches section in the hobby section? Also some cool watches listed in the ‘everything else’ section of the classifieds
I can absolutely relate to this! Other than family and work, all other free time I have is firearms related in some way shape or form. I shoot one, sometimes two local pistol matches a weekend if at all possible. All other free time is spent sitting at my reloading press, dry-fire practice, working on/cleaning guns or researching/studying about shooting. Wife also allows it but thinks is a problem/obsession, I think it’s a passionate hobby??It is for me. Although you have to include .mil history in that as well.
I just love guns.
Outside of work and my family, I would say 95% of my discretionary time is related to guns or military history.
I love to travel, but it has to have gun (or .mil) stuff related to it, at least a little bit. Whenever I travel I always hit museums related to .mil or gun history when I can. Went to Paris and London recently. Hit the Imperial War Museum, RAF Museum, Hotel Invalide and National Maritime Museum. Every trip, includes a museum hit, if I can. Going to Austin a couple of weeks. Will hit the Texas Forces Museum (for the 87th time)
If I'm watching TV by myself it is gun Youtube stuff. C&Rsenal, Forgotten Weapons, Bloke on the Range, Mark Felton, etc...
I go to the range at least once a week and usually two or three times. I mess around with brass constantly.
Gun shows (especially Tulsa) are my Nirvana.
I confess...I'm addicted and I don't care.
My wife is a saint. She allows it.
in total transparency, I'm 5 Mojitos in and get super chatty
Your next hobby will be sh*tposting in this forum…and arguing, lol
Possibly, depends on what you are looking for.
No, guns aren't my only hobby. I also enjoy photography, reading (especially political thrillers and sci-fi,) and watching anime.
Truth! Haha!
Grumpy has 2 hobbies -- guns and complaining
I have a few -- casual gun enthusiast. VERY casual. Put it in my hands, get out of my way. Shot USPSA for quite a while with Grumpy but then life got in the way. I can barely rack the slide on my 34 ... Oh well ... I do what I can when I can.
After that there are, in no particular order, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, quail, anything that can even remotely be classified as a pet. Then there is sewing.
What kind, you say?? All kinds -- tailoring, quilting, historical costumes, home dec (upholstery and curtain/drapes), knitting, crocheting, tatting, embroidery, uhmmm, flower arranging, houseplants, gardening, cooking, canning, fermenting, freeze-drying, dehydrating, any ol' way to put up what I grow ... Or forage. Oh yeah, and foraging.
And reloading -- but only under adult supervision. Grumpy sets everything up, shows me what to do and then I do what I am told. (DON'T -- JUST DON'T ... 👁👁👁)
I also paint -- acrylics, oils, watercolors, have tried my hand at woodworking (and want to do some more of that) ... Mostly contemporary stuff but sometimes I'll wind up doing a landscape or pet potrait ...
I like jewelry making, too, but my eyes ain't what they used to be.
My favorite hobby of all?? Spending Grumpy's pension.
You're a regular Jill of all trades.Truth! Haha!

I guess I also like reading, with watching a few favorite movies, but my big thing is playing guitar. I play at church and every once in a great while I like to attend jam sessions.
