This is like going to the Rolex AD and asking if they have any SS watches and they say we have 30 and then walks away

I under-estimated. There are at least a few that aren't shown here, including a Rolex that is in for service.

I think once a person owns more than 6 or 8 it is unlikely they are all worn with any frequency and you probably have redundancy in covering most any need or occasion.

But you asked about a collector. They can never have too many.

I am not a collector.

Depends on the individual. However I found I had other interests and it made it easier to pursue those as well by setting some limits.

I have found that 2 is the perfect number for me. Any more than that I have found I still gravitate towards my "favorite" two. Currently, I have a white gold DD40 and a JLC Dualmatic.

i think 3 is perfect number, but have 10+

mk2jag · 8 November 2019, 04:52 AM

I have five nice watches and two 'every day' watches. im good with that..

I collect other things as well...

cashmere sweaters
leather jackets
Italian driving gloves

life is good!!

Excluding all those "fun" or "knick knack" watches like Swatch Sistem 51s/Timex Q as I call it, I'm perfectly fine with 3-4 in my rotation.

I don't tend to refer to my 3-4 watches as a collection either. If I'm going to collect watches, sky is the limit as I would probably want every reference in the best condition.

locutus49 · 8 November 2019, 05:48 AM

Over 300.

Watchflair · 8 November 2019, 06:05 AM

For me it's not the number that matters - the real question is does everything get proper wrist time? If yes then you are doing it right IMHO.

Ny325 · 8 November 2019, 05:59 PM

Two Rolex, and two Seikos. And the one that gets the most wrist time, and I love is a Casio G-Shock DW5600 BB. Simple, stealth look.
