![[Question] How many watches do you own?](https://alien.top/pictrs/image/04aaa222-5b94-4974-b5e0-b928763a5ba8.webp){kind=link}
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.
6 and plan to keep it there. Anymore seems excessive
1… a one and done kinda guy.
Though i like lurking here and watches just to see other watches.
I think I’m at around 60-65.
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.
Just bought #21 tonight.
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.
Quality over quantity my friend
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.
I have 4 sub $500 watches. I think 5 is the best number for me, but that would include starting over with the exception of my Seiko SRPE55 which is my daily. 3 black dials, 1 white and 1 blue.
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.
Yeah I feel that lol
7 in 6 years.
Used to have 8 but my Seiko made in Malaysia started to add 3 minutes per day.
