Nice collection. Me? I have a lot of brands and a lot of watches that are at a lot of different price points. Sometimes I feel like I'd rather have less watches but I love them all yet don't want to
increase the tally. Multiple flips over the years have distilled the collection down to keepers that I'm very reluctant to trade or sell. I don't want more but certainly do still want "the next one". This is a crazy affliction!
Therapy session 🙌🏻
I think these watches can make my brain working well and prevent Alzheimer’s 😎😅 Winding them, setting the time, calendars, hearing the ticking … makes me so happy each week. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I am mostly tied to these 5 brands, enough...
Golly Geez...Just those five brands!
Enough; who said ;-) Wear in good health. BTW: What a stunning collection
Yup, no fancy indies or super exclusive new kid's club :)
Just focusing on main stream..actually 6 brands here, as pointed by a member below, lol, I can't count! Thanks a lot MikiJ.
There are 6 brands there though….
I wish I had your kind of collection and be able to mistake how many brands I have. That would be sweet, just started this year though, hoping to build slowly, already at four brands and will add another one ( hopefully 🤞🏼 ) in some months. All in all bea...
Oh dear....I cannot count up to 6, hahaha...
Begin with the end in mind...not easy and will probably get distracted with so many new brands and independent micro brands popping up left and right. Good luck and happy collecting.
Oh how sweet it is...
That is an awesome collection...wonderful pieces every one...congrats!
Just i do
set my watches on time. I listened to my favorite radioshow that is every Saturday at 13:12, winding and playing. Did a strap change. I am open for new brands, but my next purchase would be again the brand that have my 4 aces.
I wish I can do more strap changes…
Except in this case of PP, which has the pins that fingers can do the job, others need tools that I will not attempt again with my clumsy hands.
That’s why i have as much quick release pushpins on straps
When i order a strap, i take always the option quick release pushpins. ...
I tried to restrict myself but kept flip-flopping
and finally gave up. I have no idea how many watches and brands I have… 🤷♂️ Mike ...
It might be a good thing just to let loose…
Maybe it’s me that’s the problem…maybe I’m thinking brand loyalty but with most of them abandoning existing customers for newer ones, I might as well be the newer customer of another brand? Hmmm….🤔
I am also loyal to brands.
When i found the right door, i keep on walking through. But it is sometimes a shoe from glas. For example Longines. How long i must wait till Longines send my Conquest back for that easy service. Paid, and Longines say, mister would you pay your invoice? ...
Oh no…don’t they have receipts for the payment?
Sorry to hear that. Hope it can be resolved quickly.
Here is your inspecter
Pink Panter. Well, a good reason to take my detective skills up and bring my watch home. What in the world Longines have the right to make a mistake and do not return a watch to the customer? Where we talk about? A bargain for a conglomerate. So, it is ti...
A wonderful selection from your collection.
You will definitely have fun this week!
All the best,
Jon

I know, right? It will go through cycles…having more, felt overwhelmed, consolidated to bigger pieces….
Felt like you can’t wear the big pieces as daily, then start buying more daily’s …then number creeps up again. What’s wrong with us? Haha…I wish I can know a good magic number to a collection. Sometimes I will think maybe just 1 each, eg. 1 GMT, 1 Daytona...
Lol...so true, we are a small breed...not sure if it's still growing or diminishing.
I'll leave it to the next generation to worry about that. Cheers Z.
A wonderful collection, dear C_C!
Maybe these brands are “mainstream,” but these watches certainly are not. They are simply lovely! This Platinum Daytona, this Cartier, this Speedy, this Patek PC, this Zeitwerk… You have a wonderful collection. I also believe that these watches are suitab...
That is so kind of you and appreciate the nice comments, Thomas.
I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate these watches and how lucky I am to have them. Perhaps I will leave the consolidation to the next generation because I do have consolidation thoughts but also have regrets after doing so, although less often...
