Buyers only require cash, Collectors need brains and knowledge of watches.

I personally dont think the number of watches or Patek you own reflect your status as a true collector but the knowledge and history you know about watches.
A billionaire buyer could own hundreds of Pateks without having a clue of how his watches work or how they were made,
while a True Collector knows how watches run without owning many watches or perhaps not even one single Patek.
I know an elderly collector who has never owned a Patek yet he can dissect a watch or clock like the back of his hand.
He also knows alot of history behind the watch industry, to me, he is A TRUE COLLECTOR and Tutor in watches/Patek.
