I’m up to around 40 at this point. I just love watches whether it’s $20 or $20,000. I don’t have anything over $1000 but eventually right. I’ve learned all the basic maintenance from crystal replacement, batteries, bands, etc. Its an addicting hobby. I scour marketplace and online for rare finds and good deals. I’m looking for recommendations for a quality high capacity box. This $20 box is garbage.

    After about 3 years too, I went from 20ish in year 1 to 6 right now, including 1 inherited, 1 custom built, 1 modded gshock and 3 that I rotate. The more I get into this hobby, the more I think a small collection is better.

    I like your watches but I don’t understand why you have so many watches, if I were you I’d sell off a good amount and get a used Tudor BB or some other entry level luxury watch. But anyways, I love the collection it’s pretty diverse, usually in big collections there’s tons of copies but I think you did well.

    After 3 years collecting I have 12 in the box that get regular wrist time as well as 5 that are occasional wear pieces or are waiting to be repaired. I am like you and have watches that I paid between 100 and 500 for but I like them all and many have a special significance.

    I have 13 “nice” watches which include Rolex, Omega and a Cartier.

    I have a couple of Citizens, a G Shock and a Casio Databank as well.

    I got all of these in a 2 year span and am considering selling a few to get a gold Speedy. They are great to look at but just don’t get enough wrist time.

    I have a couple of Rolexes I haven’t even worn.

    Around 25 at the moment. They just don’t seem to get enough wrist time even though I absolutely love all of them.

    I am considering dropping down to 6 - 8 and buying the 36mm Explorer I 124270 I have been lusting after.

    I can’t see it in the comments, did you list these anywhere (I understand if not, it would be a long list). What is that Timex in the top left corner, and the Citizen 1 below and to the right of that Timex? Thanks! Neat collection.

    40+. Close to 50. I keep saying that I’ll clean out the collection at some point and sell off a few of the ones the aren’t getting much time on the wrist, but it feels wrong.

    7 in 6 years.

    Used to have 8 but my Seiko made in Malaysia started to add 3 minutes per day.
