 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 14th, 2020-12:55
Hey fellow purist, not sure if this was already discussed in other threads but I am curious to know how many watches do we have in a typical collection. Dont know if there is a survey option available, so to make it a bit more anonymous please share which... 

I am firmly in A territory

 
 By: VinnieD : October 14th, 2020-13:05
I have 3 sentimental watches that are classics and keepers + another 2 which come and go, usually sold after 2 years and that are more usually more funky I become uncomfortable with more than 5 (not enough wrist time, fear of misplacing them etc.)

Just like my time in school...

Wow, great responses guys. I should have added a triple D category clearly! So far we have if I did not miss anyone...

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : October 14th, 2020-14:37
D=12 votes C=3 votes B=3 votes A=2 votes Giving equal weighting to the triple Ds as the normal D (lol) we have 60% in the D category. Very interesting!

A for me ....

Sometime when I have more watches i tend to put some of them in questions, then regret buying them, flip a few them thinking i will make better choices or can live with only 1-3 watches, then live with a couple of watches for a while, start craving having...

I count 6 watches that get regular wear, plus another 8 that are a combination of (a) relatively formal watches I just don't get a chance to wear and (b) backup watches in cases in which I have found it appropriate to have a duplicate or approximate dupli...

But a B if we are only counting โ€œniceโ€ watches, and by nice I mean Rolex/Omega.

That is indeed very drastic Nicolas! [nt]

Well into Double-D range.

Wait, that didnโ€™t come out as I expected... โ€”Rick

I am barely a B
