I agree about the "insane" part. Ha ha!

First of all, i am a fan of IWC among other brands. I love your Big Pilot "collector's collection".
As an enthusiast, I had to choose THE one and ONLY Big Pilot that I wanted to add to my collection, because I didn't have a pilot watch.
I knew mine had to be IWC. (I chose the one in the middle of the bottom row. That railroad track PR tickled my fancy.)
I didn't know that there were 2 categories of us watch people, i.e., enthusiasts and collectors. Based on the definitions, I am an definitely an insane enthusiast, rationalizing my next purchases based on what I DON'T have in the collection. And furthermore to my madness, when I like a brand, I "have to have" (yes,I must have) 2 of their watches in distinctively different styles.
So, Rolex (DD, Daytona), PP (Nautilus Calatrava), VC Overseas, HIstoriques), `Panerai (Luminor, Radiomir), Bulgari (Octo Finissimo, Bvlgari Bvlgari) , and IWC (Big Pilot and Portugieser Yacht Club).
I don't know where to go from here, but I don't plan to add Omega, Breguet, AP, JLC, Piaget, and Cartier to the "2 watch category", settling for 1 each.
Crazy, Crazy. Too many! But at least I know what I am categorized now as a watch person, besides being "insane" too.
