I'd say even just two counts as a collection
 But the more the merrier, so don't stop buying! |

3 watches qualifies as a collection.
2 watches qualifies as a collection. 1 watch with the "intent" to collect more also qualifies as a collection.

'Collection' is plural so I would say more than one is a collection

You bet a collection as by definition is a group of things so two watches would be a collection ... Three is a big collection

My modest collection includes 3 Rolex. Date, Datejust and GMT ii
Looking for a Daytona to round her out. A Sub well into the future perhaps to round her out. |

Yes! A lot of people think a rotation of 3 is the perfect number with each getting good wrist time. Enjoy!

If you have more than the one on your wrist right now you have a "collection".

One is for function. (And many today would question even that.) Anything more makes for a collection. The real question is, at what number do you go from collection to illness.

Well, regardless of what the "proper" definition of a collection is, THIS IS MY COLLECTION!
