I see all these posts of collections of 20+ watches, which is beautiful, pricy and way out of my reach, I limit myself to 6 watches and even that is too much honestly.

116610LN
16610 E Serial (1990)
114060
Omega Proplof
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms
114300 White Dial

Just wondering if others limit their collections as well?

Great collection, but why both 6 digit LN Subs?

So funny story with those, my 5 digit was away for a service I sold a PM piece and wanted another date sub so I snagged one up, shortly after went into the local AD, and they had a 114060 sitting in the case and it went home. Sadly I perfer the 5 digit date but the 6 digit no date is an amazing piece.

You ever think about selling the 116610 and putting the funds towards a GMT or Sub LV? I think the GMT Master II LN would be a great fit in your collection!

Agree on the 114060, it's perfect IMO

Not a fan of the LVs they dont look right on me, I owned a GMT II BLNR quite a while ago. Had alot of movement issues and after getting it fixed with warranty it was sold.

I would love to find a 5 digit GMT, a nice 36mm Date Just, or a 40mm Polar Explorer II.

The 116610 will be sold/ traded eventually just doesnt get much wrist time.

Nice collection! After going through many phases of collecting, I’m good with a limit of 5 for now.

trfChris · 6 September 2019, 07:16 AM

6 watches, 5 divers, 3 subs. Impressive focus!

As a tech diver they are used for purposes. But yes my focus have always been divers, no need for Chronos etc...

I appreciate your collection and point of view.

stateman · 6 September 2019, 08:04 AM

6 for me as well. Over 30 years of spending far too much attention and $ on watches has demonstrated that I can’t wear more than that in any reasonable rotation where I don’t feel a bit odd for owning watches that are barely owned. But that’s just me. My brother has twice as many and has no such qualms.

Explorer
BLNR
Sinn 856
Moser Venturer Small Seconds
Seiko SKX
JLC Reverso Tribute Duoface

With multiple straps and bracelets for the BLNR, Sinn, Seiko and even JLC...I don’t lack for options.

That being said, I could probably get down to 3 without much difficulty (1 ss sport, 1 dress, 1 beater). Beyond that would require a rethink of why i wear watches at all and likely end up with just me and the Explorer.

123Blueface · 6 September 2019, 08:09 AM

Looking forward to 9th.

Mr.Rolex1 · 6 September 2019, 08:22 AM

Nice subs

AF_Rob · 6 September 2019, 10:24 AM

Wonderful collection. It’s obvious you know what you like.

I also keep the number low. Currently at 5. If I want another, my rule says, one has to go.

How do you like your Blancpain Fifty Fathoms? Does it wear similarly size wise to the Submariner?

The fifty is nice its a quiet attention graber if someone knows what they are looking at. It wear bigger than the sub its 45mm but on am Iso strap its nice, just a bit big for everyday. Beautiful watch though and one of the smoothest movements ive ever had.

I too admire all the massive collections some of our more wealthy forum members are able to field. I find it both impressive, and overwhelming... and therefore will stick to a limited collection.

I was planning on 5, but 6 sounds like a nice even number

AOW

thekman · 6 September 2019, 11:10 AM

Loving the Fiddy Fathoms. Would love to get one someday. Would flip at least of one those subs into a GMT, if not two of them. Maybe even a seadweller?

Nice
6 is a good number.
My box holds 8. I’ll never fill it.

mitc5502 · 6 September 2019, 11:21 AM

I let my collection balloon with some micro brands that were impulse buys. Currently trying to pare it back to 4 (ish), micros are fun, but it’s kinda hard to wear them when my ExpII is sitting there.

Cesium137 · 6 September 2019, 12:03 PM

Nice work with the Proplof, really separates you from the herd.

Yes the PloProf is an amazing piece. Actually went into an Omega AD and they asked "what watch are you currently wearing and would you conisder an Omega..." I laughed and explained what it was, they had no clue, asked to see it, 5 sales people all checking out.

Can’t say that surprises me

Scapegoat · 6 September 2019, 12:25 PM

Lovely set! Clearly see a diver theme there.

Would also do the same with the 6 digit Submariners and get both versions.

In-Cog-Neeto · 6 September 2019, 02:42 PM

6/7 is a nice number

I’m up at 13, all of which I wear, and it really is an effort to decide what to wear

I’ve taken to a steady rotation of one week per piece. At nights I’ll do a little swap for a couple hours when I get the urge

I find one week is just enough to remember why you love wearing that piece but not so long that you forget about the others
