does owning different colour of the same model count? :mrgreen:
I often read comments such as "I've got 2 of those", with the 2 sometimes being 3 or even 4.
A simple question really: why would you buy and own more than 1 of the same watch?
to be sure, to be sure? :lol: :lol: :lol:

I had two Speedy Pro's for a brief period, a 2004 and a 1979. Sold the 2004 to my dad so I could cover the 1979 purchase...i might buy the 2004 back off him in a few months, I like the modern bracelet :D
I suppose it depends on how you define 'the same watch', although they look pretty much the same, certainly to the untrained eye, you wouldn't class the 14060M and 5513 as the same, subtly different perhaps :D
Easy, it's so your straps match your handbags
"A man of little significance"
It is simple; the PRS-20 Italian is dang nice and you can mod one of them :lol:
I had 2 x Smiths Mil
One original and one of Eddies :-)

I have 2 Glycine KMU 48s although they are different colours - An all black PVD and the full lume '06 LE.
They are the perfect size for me and there aren't many in that bracket. If I could afford the very limited white dialed, white gold Railmaster XXL then I'd have 2 of them too.
2 identical watches may be a little weird though.
I have two Casio G-2000s. It's a classic but virtually unobtainable model, and it's a watch I hope not to be without for the rest of my days. The one I wear will break at some point and be replaced by the one in the cupboard.
Three 62mas's covering every phase of development. Small crown model, dolphin caseback big crown model, and the Daini Seikosha horseshoe caseback beige lume model:
I had 2 Glycine Lagunare COSC LCC 1000s up until recently, one in orange and one in black. Brilliant watches for the money and practically indestructible. Still got the black, it's a keeper!
Because I can buy another watch and my wife doesn't notice :D
I have two Casio G-9600s; a standard black one and (well, it's in the post) a much rarer yellow one. Colour aside, those are the only two 'identical' watches I have.
Of course, I - like many others - have any number of similar-looking dive watches and pilot watches powered by variations of the same movement. So to some extent I bet most of us would consider that we have more than one of a particular watch.

Awaits the 'I have a bucket load of Rolex model number'.
Makes me SO jealous :lol:
I have two Rolex Sub-Dates. Mike Wood has 2000.
Seiko diver SKX007, infact i have four sitting in front of me right now.
Standard,
Planet Monster,
two personnel effects
:mrgreen:
Various forms, but all the same on the inside :mrgreen:
I have three Seiko Darth Vaders, one for me, and two for my sons. They will get them when they are 16. (7 and 5 now)
Got a few pairs of similar watches, this pair being one:
I have 4 sea Dwellers
Just because it's one of the best discontinued models in my opinion
Does a Sub C and an Sub LV count :roll:
I have two X33's, 3 LCD Speedmasters, 3 analog Speedmasters :? I guess I need another X33 to balance the collection :P
No , definitely not Barry. But with a collection like yours, why would you need 2 of the same :lol:
I ve got 2 SeaDwellers, but different in subtle ways which allows me to justify it :wink:
I had three 2up-2down 14060m Sub No dates once. No particular reason other than I liked them and they seemed cheap. :lol:
according to my wife all my watches look the same so i guess i have about 30+ of the same watch :mrgreen:
Hmmmm :roll: I guess it's cause I can.......
Have had a few exact duplicates (JLC MCM and Casio GW5600), and quite a few that are the same but different colour (Rolex Sub-C - Green and Black, Rolex Milgauss - Green, Black & White, Rolex DJ - Black & White, Rolex ExpII Black & White, Zenith Class Chrono - Black & White - I think that might be it).
In reality I suspect the motivation is the 'need' to buy another watch, and I buy what I know/like. I tend to find if I go for something very different that it rarely stays long.
Used to have two 6105s and four 6309s at the same time. Shouldn't have let them go. Only have one 6309 now.

Never had more than one of exactly the same watch, but I've had about 6 Seiko SKX's at one point.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
I've got 2 SD's 16600 and 16660, 2 Subs 16800 and 16610LV and 2 Tudor Jumbo 70800 (date) and 70170 (day+date) and I'm quite happy with my little collection ;)
I have 2 Zenith Rainbow Elites 1 black 1 white and 2 Zenith El Primero HW, 1 Blue and 1 White :shock:
Had twa Daytonas, one TT and one SS but both are sadly gone...

I had two of these, this one and a cream dial model with black batons & hands.
That's the best answer so far
I have two of the same watch because I bought one and then stumbled across the same model in new-old-stock shape at a derisory price from an absolutely clueless seller that it would have been criminal to pass up. I haven't been able to bring myself to sell the first yet, because it's a Zenith A 386.
RT Pilot.....

I have two Datejusts, a 16013 bicolour from 1986 in mint condition (hardly worn from new), and a 16234 in steel from 2003. Both jubilee bracelets and fluted bezel. Virtually the same watch but they wear very different.
Also have 2 vintage Omega Dynamics from the late 60s, a steel one and a gold-capped model bought as NOS. My missus hates them both because they're a funny shape :roll: .
My weakness is 2-tone bicolour watches, but I also like steel. That's how I end up getting both.

Where is mike wood?

When I have two of the exact same watch is because they're in different condition. E.g., one serviced and restored, the other in untouched condition.
Fortunate enough to have 2 Sub LV's which I bought with the intention of passing to my each of my sons when they are 18
I have done that several times in the past, but not any more. I have done it with watches I really liked, so I took two of them, one to wear and another to keep safe in new condition in the drawer. All of them are now sold.
Thats WIS-dom for you :lol:
Never get exactly the same - that would be completely bonkers waste of money. However, if you can get subtly different, you can get the benefit of sneaking past the missus AND have a slight variety ready to wear...
I suppose you could also make a really difficult spot the difference photo game from them.
I have two Rolex GMTIIs.....one is on an oyster bracelet whilst the other is on the jubilee option :)
I have two Pulsar PJN 299's , one civilian and the other a military version.
Owning more than one of the same watch is a definitive symptom of the watch sickness, especially if you buy additional examples of a watch that you already own that are in worse condition than what you already have. I have many Certina DS-2 and DS-3 divers, but Snogge has even more than I do. There are pictures I've seen of 20-30 of his Certinas. :shock: That said, my collection of Caribbeans and Squales is of the same order of magnitude. :wink:
I have the PRS 20 in black and white faced options and have been asked at work how easy it is to change to the face. No, I explain they are two different watches. Silence.
Happens a lot with me, see a post I made last year

Amazing stuff!
Early Certina DS, Seiko 7a28, 7A38, Smiths Astral, Smiths Deluxe. I just can't get enough of them
