wow nice .. but do you really need more than two watches ? :s

I for one don't see any benefit from owning more than two (maximum). One would be a formal wear and the other for lite / outdoor use.

what do you think ?

There is nothing here that qualifies as need

It is just enjoyable.

Well I get where you are coming from .. especially that we are talking about a luxury watch ..
BUT .. even though .. wouldn't it be a hassle just to keep on adjusting your watch every time you switch between your collection?

Yet again it's a matter of preference .. me for instance would just stick to one or max. 2 .. cuz I can't be bothered.

No one actually needs even just one luxury watch. I'm not even sure why you have chosen two, but then again this is a personal decision. There are a number here who have chosen to own more than just two.

I like the contrast with TT's. I think yellow gold down the middle of a SS bracelet complements it very well. An all yellow gold watch doesn't appeal to me. However, the white gold sub 116619LB would be my grail.

Yea of course it is a personal preference and you wouldn't understand why I for instance chose 2 and not 3 (although I clearly said one for formal attire and the other for outdoor / daily use) ..

Probably you didn't get the point of my question .. let me rephrase .. Would you have a collection of watches like the ones in the picture .. PURELY for collection purposes .. and wear them as time goes by .. and as per circumstances .. or you would really schedule wearing each and every watch in your collection regularly ?

In other words .. would you just have them for display and for personal (hobby) collection .. or you wear them all equally? or have a preference for 2 or 3? I'm just trying to draw a trend here ..

Hope I made it clear (and didn't complicate things more) :p

I have had six watches at one time and I think seven would be my limit as I like to wear each one at least once a week, and I like missing my watches when I dont wear them so every day I have another one to look forward to and I get excited again when I strap her on. Come to think of it it sounds like Im some Sheikh with his harem!

is racist, inappropriate and uncalled for

Why is it that you stereotype about "Sheikhs" (+ Muslims and Arabs) Polygamy and you disregard any cases by many humans in several countries and cultures including the USA (among Christian believers) itself.

I, as a Muslim and Arab, feel really offended by your post and I doubt I'll be visiting this forum if they tolerate such thought. Plus I'm a human .. symbolizing or comparing "harem" = women to watches that are changed daily is just a shame! especially when it's the International Women's day (to help women rights around the world) just few days ago.
