Good advice. One thing I have also learned in marriage is ‘‘tis better to ask for forgiveness than permission.’

How many watches?
By: Watch_This : January 27th, 2019-10:04
out of curiosity, how many time pieces do you have? I have 6 what I would consider somewhere on the luxury spectrum. Most of which are in the $3k range. My recent Glashütte and Patek purchases have brought the overall average up a bit. I have the Rolex Mi...

but i realized it is hard to keep a limit to things you love...so i guess i'll end up liking & buying at least 1 watch/year, that would be close to reality ;-) Best, mahesh.,
I am trying

To buy with a purpose. Where is the hole in my inventory? Which brands do I want to own? I think I would be very happy at 8-10 pieces, Max. I am still new to luxury watches, but will have fun with it. At some point I imagine I will have too many, and then...
N + 1 :-)

I think that is for sure the right equation for the question: ‘what is the appropriate number of watches for me to have?’ Cheers Drew

A wise man once said "Know thyself." For some collectors, the pursuit is more pleasurable than the acquisition. For myself, the ideal number is 10. That number would be large enough for diversity (movements, precious metals, brands) and small enough for e...
I’ve given this a lot of thought
By: NickO : January 27th, 2019-13:07
And I have concluded that the perfect size for my collection is X watches. Unfortunately, my wife’s perfect size for my watch collection is approximately X/12. Now, my wife collects beautiful Chanel handbags. She has also given this a lot of thought and h...

Currently about 30

Only as I may have put the odd one somewhere safe and can't find it! The number will only likely go up as I've never sold one. Cheers JML
If everything is included the number is large.....

For example, do you count the 5 Sistem 51s? The 6 G-Shocks? The 5 other Swatch? That's 16 already and I haven't even opened the sock drawer let alone the safe! Then there's the vintage GS sub-collection, the vintage Seiko sub-collection and the Quartz Sei...

More seriously...

I now have 7 "real" watches (not counting the lesser crap hanging around in various drawers in the house...). I'm 43, so with luck, probably another 30 years or so of collecting, One new watch every 2-3 years would bring the death toll number to about 15-...
