So far I have tried organising my collection by brand, style, movement, country of original, chronology of purchase, manufacture date and case material. So far nothing has felt quite right. What do you do?

That's an interesting question as I've been trying to do the same.
What has worked best for me so far is by style, grouping the dress, and divers, then split by dial colour.
That being said I am still thinking it doesn't look right......

I have a 6 slot box for diver's, a 6 slot box for big PAMs, and the rest nestle in my bookcase.

Im not so organised.

They are pretty robust, I got them from Acetimer a while ago, postage looks a bit harsh now, I don’t remember paying that! He does smaller ones for just watch heads too.

I think you are over thinking things OP. I take one out of the watch box and put the one on my wrist back in its place. The next day I do the same again.
It never crossed my mind that there should be any sort of order. I wish I hadn't opened this thread now.
For me it’s by order of which I bought them. First on top left and last on bottom right.
interesting , mine is a 12 wall mount box , I go from top left with all autos and my most expensive followed by two of the same make then 3 white dials then 2 in order of favouritism then my cheapest auto, then 3 quartz . completely mad organisation with no logic other than I think they look better displayed this way.
By style / function - dress (top left), then daily, then beater (bottom right).
I put the Rolex watches in a Rolex watch box, the Omegas in a few watch boxes, the Tudors in another watch box, and 5 selected watches in a current rotation watch box. There is no specific order to which watch goes where.
It's just a matter of time...
Mine are mainly in sets, although there are all sorts of overlaps so I sometimes have to decide which of two or three containers a watch should sit in. Usually this is sorted out by the capacity of the boxes.
The currents sets are roughly something like:
Flight Qualified by NASA
Cosmonaut Watches
ESA + Other Space Related
Speedmasters and flightmasters
70's Omegas
Sinn + Eberhard
Modded Vostoks
Vintage Smiths/Bensons
Timefactors
Early Calculator Watches + Hummers
Random Vintage + duplicates
Random Modern + duplicates

I have the regular rotation box next to my bed that stores 3. The forth regular rotation will be in the leather box on the bedside table as that being worn. Also on the bedside table will be the metal G-SHOCK.
Another box downstairs is sentimental watches. A small cheap case has my CWC quartz’s. and watch box has the others in..

I store mine alphabetically, and I do the same with my socks.
Anything else would be weird.
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

Well, for any that are of a certain quality and therefore value. The rest just get tossed into a draw

Mine is exactly the same! 10 slot box, 5 top row will be in there always as they were mainly gifts, had a couple over 20 years and my skx007 first auto. 5 bottom in order they were bought.Sent from my SM-G965F using TZ-UK mobile app
By brand, then cheapest to most expensive. G shocks loose and dotted around the house.
Obviously seeing this I don’t have as many as some of you.
However the way I do it is a big watch next to a smaller one so they don’t rub or ding each other.
The solar watches are left out near a window.
Now officially known as the OCD thread 😊
I arrange by colour and then by size.
+1. I was lost after the 'organise' in the title!
It’s maker for me. I also have a sub set for grey nato straps but Seiko next to Seiko, Omega next to Omega, Roamer next to Romer and so on...
WOW!
Some of you have too much time (see what I did there?) on your hands.
Organise?
M
Each one is thrown over my shoulder into a large toy container when I have had my fussy with them.
Really? What is the butler for then?
Peeping through the keyhole.
Weekly.
after reading this thread I reorganised my watches by lug size.
Next week by serial number perhaps?

Subset by crown size I assume
