Just a question
What would you consider a perfect number of watches to own without being considered a 'collector'
As a newcomer and after reading a few threads..I really don't want to go down the road of having several dozen or more that will rarely see the light of day
Currently I have 6 watches
Three of these are currently keepers
One is a maybe
Two will be moved on
I have an idea in my head for a little variety
One Diver
One Pilot
One Dress
One Beater
Which is what I have done so far..the other two were bought in my earliest stage out of naivety more than anything else
To this I want to add maybe a couple of vintage pieces, maybe an Omega Bumper and my birth year watch
Then at a later date my two modest Grail watches (Longines Legend and Breitling Superocean Heritage 46mm)
I have to think this would be the time I say stop
So just to go back to my initial question, is their method in this madness or are large collections generally bought on a whim?
Ten years down the line in not sure I want to be staring at a draw full of timepieces..or a whole cabinet in some cases
Scary prospect if I'm honest
