Have great acquisitions ruined other watches for you?
The predicament I'm in with my current two watch collection, a Moritz Grossmann Tefnut and a Parmigiani Kalpa...As much as I'd like to add a third, I'm having a difficult time imagining that I would get enough enjoyment out of any others to justify the expense. Are any of you in a similar situation?

Indeed, for quite a long time, I like all the watches I have...
And haven't worn some of them for years, so if I add a new one, I'll wear it for a while and then it eventually goes to the unused pile. What's the point?
Even these two I don't wear as often as I should.
But I very much enjoy owning them nonetheless, and wearing them infrequently adds to the sense of occasion when I do.
Interestingly
In my case it is the enjoyment I get out of cheaper and more affordable models that has prevented me from splurging on the more expensive models as most often they don't cut it in the real world.
Absolutely.
I consolidated from 25ish down to 11. I found I was not wearing watches and the consolidation made a few bigger purchases more feasible. My new criteria are much more strict so I don’t anticipate adding many more in the near future.
I wish I had your predicament of not knowing what to buy for my third watch!
I wish I could decrease the number to 30, but that would be a dramatic cut!
I was holding around 12 for a few years….
But have purchased six in the last year. I try to wear all of them.
