24 now.

Got a SS DJ for my 21st Birthday.
I've since added a 114060, 116520 white daytona, and a BLNR.

Flipped a 14060 and a 40mm white explorer in-between.

Dang!
And I thought I had "a lot..."
Anyway, the first an 80's two tone DJ, at 31 y/o.
14 in total owned (basically all SS and SG, except for Explorer and Cosmograph)
Now at 50, I own two (DJ2, Sub C Hulk) which I intend to keep and probably every other piece I will acquire in the future, which means very well thought steps (the ND Sub is going to happen for sure....).

Cheers

First at 34 - a Seadweller
Have had more than a dozen, flipping in and out.

My collection is shrinking at this point, and I may end up with as few as 3. I have some watches just sitting unworn. There's a beautiful GMT IIc sitting in my box, wore it one time. There's something to say for finding a few you really love.

First was earlier this year, my 25th birthday present to myself: 114060. It will be my only one for a while, though I would like an Exp II Polar, and DJ or DJII, and one day, a DD or DDII.
