A curiosity 😊

I'm just ahead of you with 11

Just ahead of that with 12 - but no. 13 on its way 🤩

If the controversy relates to excessiveness, all I can say is I am probably one of the most controversial on here 🤣

36. Mostly G's, a handfull of budget casios and 5 automatics/ handwinders.

According to wifey too much. But what does she knows?!

🤣 Well, I've met a guy a month or 2 ago, who had @90 GS and KS 🙃😂 (in the meantime he dropped his collection to 60 because of wifey 😑)

Exactly 😂

😂 I don't know if I should own up to more than that? I mean I might have, I might not......🤪

Incidentally, my wifey reads this. 🧐

Was around 33-34.

Now just 6. 😔

Somewhere north of 40. Maybe over 50 if one counts "projects" and pocket watches...

We know our place don't we! 🥴

What happened?

My son started collecting watches 🥺

5 - 8, depending whether you count pocket watches, those needing service and those that aren't viable to be repaired.

18 total, 12 in my core collection and 6 shall we say, "strays" ... all budget pieces (and by budget, I mean INEXPENSIVE), except a Tissot LeLocle "Diamond" that was a 10 year service gift from my employer ... and even that one isn't EXPENSIVE like a Rolex or Omega! LOL!

My ad assured me that he would eventually receive a 75th anniversary summer blue series Planet Ocean for me to buy, in the interim, I could examine the model being reserved for one of his very special customers who visits his family’s other boutique in a few months time for his annual shopping day. Apparently he is a gent that I know socially who typically purchases as many as 40-50 watches at one time. The watches are for his massive private collection of modern timepieces. I am not that controversial or perhaps insane, presently own north of 40 watches, am finally reflecting on an exit from the hobby.

I also have 9 right now after selling 2 of mine and buying a new one.

But, i don't wear 4 of them for the last 2,5 years.

The one's I don't wear:

• A Fossil automatic ( 😛 ), it is huge and heavy...

• An automatic Citizen Titanium (looks and wears very nicely tbh, but its water resistance is not sufficient for my daily use and rotor sound is annoyingly loud 😄 )

• A very thin black dial Skagen (which my wife bought for our wedding 10yrs ago), couldn't find time to change the battery

• An extremely super slim titanium skagen, couldn't find time to change the battery

The ones i wear (a lot):

• Longines Spirit 40mm White Dial

• Longines Conquest Automatic 41mm Black dial

• Casio G-Shock GM-S2100-3AER (Metal case Green dial and strap)

• ClaudeBernard Slimline Automatic Gold PVD with cream sunray dial

• Most probably gonna be the most worn one for me ever together with the Spirit: A new Nomos (god finally!!!!) watch that i'm waiting to be delivered within this week.

I have 18, but I think that's me done for a few months, or at least I'll be swapping out rather than increasing the collection.

for me when it is about collection, it is not about a number, it is about to have each category collection like: automatic, quartz, panda, digital, analog, sport, clasic, field, pilot, diver, complication

18 in my core collection with another 6 on the side

N - 1

Where N is the perfect number of watches

I have 5

I am an old head...30+....😅

27. I only wear 16 of them. No controversy.

I’m at 22 including my earliest Fossil and Timex. Plus maybe a dozen vintage. My wife is at 25. There’s some we can share back and forth with a strap or bracelet change.

I have around 30ish. I’m not sure it’s all that controversial though. It’s a hobby.

I have 15 watches. 12 in my watch box(weekend and holidays watch), 1 Casio (everyday beater), and finally my grandfather watch and the Pulsar my parents gave me for my communion

Current count stands at 28 with 3 pre-paid on their way.

I owned as many as 34, then reduced to 6. Now i stay between 8 and 10.

I have 10.
