Merry Christmas!Originally Posted by OHG1X
I've got about six. Two Rolexes that belong to my kids. A Panerai in the shop with Richmont to fix a little niggle (Inshallah). My SBDB005 SD Landmaster (for travel) and my recently acquired Big Pilot, which I love. My grandad's old Rotary Aquaplunge, I think it is. A couple of cheap beaters which the kids wear.
I don't collect, I wear. And I can only wear one at a time!
(Ooh, and a Damasko which has been on order for what feels like an age!)
Three: Two Speedmasters (arrived this week) and a quartz Grand Seiko (SBGX343). Plus a couple of G-Shocks and a Garmin Instinct Solar. But these don’t count.
Have only had one, for nearly a year now. CWC T20
I suspect that it will increase to two early in the new year with a CWC reissue fatboy.
Might have been tempted by a Smiths if they were available with plexi crystals, but those days have gone now.

16 I think. Everything ranging from a £7 HMT to a Rolex, I just love watches.

Managed to reduce to 5 this year excluding G-Shocks (which I have 5 of).
Covid definitely made me re-evaluate my collection. Lack of face to face meetings, not having to wear a suit made me move a few on.
I may move 1 more on but I now have 4 proper mainstays.
Ps. Merry Christmas.

I've just totted them up in my head, I think I'm at about 30.
I sold 30 this year after putting the collection together following a house move and shocking myself at how many I own and never wear
Reckon I've got another 10 to shead....
Then I can buy the mission timer and perhaps a bb58 blue and a....
Why? Because I enjoy buying and wearing different watches

Over 50. By some margin I fear....hmm...need to think as to if I really need all of them.

25, plus a couple of project watches to fix up and sell (eventually). Definitely ought to cull the collection next year and move a few on.
Honestly don't know, at a guess around 40.
Merry Christmas all
It’s about 60 wearable, plus projects.
It could be and has been worse.
Why? Because I can and I want to. I am a selfish sod.
Fifteen. That surprised me.
Then again, that does include two 'smart watches', a Casio with a broken lug, two of my dad's and four that were presents.
So, in terms of watches that I chose and wear, six. Probably seven in the new year, as there is a another CWC calling...
None of them are valuable, but I enjoy them.
I regret to say 60 odd.
Im a hoarder of time pieces and really need to have a clear out!! Wanna buy a …….. watch!!!
Merry Xmas everyone and I hope you all have a peaceful and relaxing festive time.

12 for me. I did try to get down to 6............I managed to get down to 8...that didnt last long though..Ideally I would rather get down to 6-8
I cant see that happening any time soon though!
Five for me. Happy with this and don’t need or want anymore at the moment.
Nine.
I’m not quite sure how that happened 😐
There are two or three i’m keen to acquire and I suspect I need to sell a few.
In an ideal world I would like to get down to three.
8 here.
Some have a story and are staying put. I keep wanting to slim things down but end up adding whenever I try. I’m already mulling over 2022 changes.
10 , which is now the maximum amount from now on one in one out
14. Going to be downsizing a little in the new year though.
9 but that includes three gifts. There’s definitely room to consolidate a bit more though. I see two leaving to make room for one next year.
7 for me which I think is my limit. Just curious why some people think some watches don't count in their collection amount?
Between 50 and 60. Because I get enjoyment out of them & I’d rather have the watch than the money.
I have got it down to four watches currently. Three automatics and one manual. I am not sure I will go much more than that, it is likely that I will max out at 5.
Merry Christmas all.
More than 60, I stopped counting.
Even when I look at the collection there's only about 5 I would sell if I ever got round to it.
I do have a lot of old Casio digital watches though, so in terms of proper watches it's probably <20.
Three.
Collection has been thinning over the years. Back in about 2011-ish, prior to Rolex becoming unobtainable and the general rise in price of luxury watches, I had a large collection with a not insignificant proportion of my savings tied up in it. Since then, I've been gradually reducing my collections total worth. Probably a dumb move considering how much I could have made on my sports Rolex but I honestly don't think they are worth the prices people pay these days and I subsequently lost interest. Still love watches, but I'm more into mid level brands like Longines/Tudor which give me more enjoyment.
No idea. Probably somewhere in the region of 150. I should really count them one day.
c15. I've told myself I'll stop when I get to double figures.
P.S. Relieved to see I'm a lightweight compared to many on this thread!
22 plus one on order for late 2022 delivery and one Rolex expression of interest.
Rationally, more than I should have, but I’m pretty happy and not looking to significantly add or subtract.

Went upto to 50+ but now down to around 23. Ideally want to get below 20 as I feel that’s far more manageable for me.

I have 10 watches, which are all worn in rotation plus a Protrek, which I wear when out hiking.
It's a constant battle to avoid increasing the collection and I have a strict one in one out policy now.

12 main watches, 2 are beaters being a G-Shock and F-91W the other 10 are watches I really wanted at some point in time and have kept my appreciation for them, would like to add more but 2021 has been a very quiet watch buying year for me, my only purchase being the Casio F-91W all for £5!!
18 for me; as high as about 30 in the past. Tried to get down to 5 but I just love the variety I guess.

Three. Been through 20 over 15 years of participating here.
Just acquired my best yet - a Tudor BB36, which I think is going to enable me to offload two, an Everest 36mm and a Hamilton Khaki Field. I calculated that I’d lost £2000 on buying and selling over the years, so I now spent the same on something superior, to become a 1 watch person! I hope.
Happy Christmas!
11 - including an apple watch and a beater .
In 15 years of being interested in watches I’ve only sold 4 watches .
I went through a few years of not buying any then this year bought 3 and find myself looking at more .

20 odd
I stopped in 2017 then cracked in 2019 and added another Sinn and then 2 from Eddie..........2 more from Eddie next year then that's definitely it
3 premium (to me) Sub, SMP and Aquatimer
7 Sinn
5 TFs
And some odds and sods from Glycine, Seiko and Steinhart.
PS I've never sold a watch
Four but one of those is going to a new home next week.
Easily 60+ for me.
. . . and that’s after a recent cull of anything broken or badly out of favour.
Reckon I’ve bought more than 20 since lockdown 1.
My 2 ‘main’ watches of a Tudor S&G Chrono on bracelet and a Breitling Navitimer Chrono GMT on blue Croc seem to suit most occasions and I have endless G Shocks and tool watches for anything rough.
Anyway, the number of watches is one thing, it’s the straps I’m most embarrassed about!
Cheers,

It’s at about 7 at the moment, which includes a Garmin. Which is ok, no purchases planned in 2022.
The watch box is now full again (8 slots) so nine in total.
I was trying to get down to three but I’m thinking of another in the sales if it is in a sale somewhere and I’m waiting for an Airking so (at least) two will have to go.
A manageable 5 - Rolex, Omega, Fortis, Seiko and Grand Seiko - plus a couple of digital cheapies and training watches/Fitbit things at the mo.
Trying to keep it there, too much choice stresses me out!
Probably flipped 20 in and out across lockdown

This thread is making me so happy!
I *only* have 16. I now know that I can carry on building to 2-3 times this number, safe in the knowledge that around 50 watches is an entirely acceptable number.
Merry Xmas. Have the sales started yet?
2, thinking about consolidating to 1. Can one be a WIS and a minimalist? 🙂
I will go for way more than I actually need but also way less than I really wantthat is my compromise. (13 but that will be 14 soon hopefully)
Merry Christmas everyone

Six decent watches (Omega, Hamilton etc) plus my grandads 1940’s gold Accurist and my childhood Sekonda, might add one more next year but should really spend the funds on servicing!

Up to x 8.
Omega PO Chronos x 2 ; Omega Seamaster Bond ; Omega Speedmaster Racing ; IWC Aquatimer JC ; Rolex Deepsea ; PAM90 ; Tudor chrono reverse panda.
Watch box has space for x 10 so that will be my limit.
On “the list” for a Rolex OP in candy pink for my wife and won’t be purchasing another for myself until and if I ever manage to get this one.

I have 5 including an Apple Watch.
For the last 2 years the Apple Watch is the main watch I use. I would like to buy more (and am looking) but am struggling to justify a purchase for an item I mostly wont wear.
Including the smart watch and G-Shocks 11 but really seven.
Relatively modest here:-
Rolex, Tudor, Sinn x 4, Christopher Ward and Casio x 2
Next on the wish list is a Sinn 903.
