Indeed I am.

Makes life a bit more simple.

And if I ever get another...I'll get rid of this one.

Yup. Almost talked myself into a second one once. Glad I didn't. Makes the one that much more special.

At any given time I usually have 5. I could not have just one. I could not have just one. I need one that is rose gold for when I wear rose gold earrings, and one that is yellow gold for yellow gold earrings and then one for whilte gold when I wear white gold earrings. Then toss in a few extras. It's an addiction for sure.

I stopped counting at four, however only one is insured, and on my wrist each day.

The others are in the vault for a future sale....

I thought I was going to be with a datjust 116200 but then I said to myself that the blue face does not go with everything so I got a sub c 116610 but then I thought I needed a chrono so got a Tudor chrono then I thought a needed a white face watch so I got a royal oak and now I am thinking I need a panda chrono so am saving up for a 26300 (prob will sell my other ap to get it being it cost $15k) and then after that I will need a watch on rubber bracelet so will need a aquanaut.. And so on...

Well, I'd need both arms at this point, so I guess my answer would be no.

One watch for me. Been there and done that (multiple watches). I prefer to keep things simple.

Even before The Rolex came to me I was a one watch person. The Rolex merely solidified it.

I tell you, I'd like to be, one day. But just like someone else mentioned, it's funny how we rationalize it in our head to justify having more than one.

So in my mind, this is how I think about it:

*1. Work watch (every day, SS, not too blingy). This is the 3573.50 Speedmaster
2. Going out watch (also every day, not to work, more blingy). This is my 116710 GMTIIc
3. Gym, Grass cutting, garage watch (I don't care about this one). This is my G-Shock Riseman
4. Vintage. This is my Dad's Tissot Visodate

So I'm currently hovering around 4. Not bad.

*N.B. - This watch I allow myself to designate as the 'flipper', to satisfy the itches once in a while.

No. I often think about it but I think a more realistic goal is one watch of each brand desired.
