State Of The Collection 2/24... Out Of Hand?

This is collection as of Monday 2/26. I have 1, too many watches. Approximately, 23... and 1 Seiko Lord Matic I bought off Ebay that is on the way.

... I can't wait for this thing.

24 watches (IMO) is way too many watches. But, I do have 4 of them sitting on Ebay. The San Martin "Ice Blue" GMT, Seiko SQ, Citizen Tsuyosa and Timex "Midtown" are the ones I'm hopefully getting rid of in hopes of adding a Tissot PRX.

Here is the breakdown of my collect...

  • Tissot Couturier Powermatic 80

  • Seiko SQ Fluted Day/Date

  • Nodus Sector Sport Two-Tone

  • Orient Mako 2(modded)

  • Citizen Tsuyosa (White)

  • AddiesDive AD2030(Cheap Keeper)

  • Seiko SRPE(Modded)(My new favorite)

  • Seiko Spirit Chronograph (Quartz)

  • San Martin Bronze D12 Homage

  • Seiko SNK809(Modded)

  • Seiko SNK381K(Sandblasted)

  • Ratio Skysurfer Pilot

  • Seiko SQ(Vintage)

  • San Martin GMT (BB Pro Homage)

  • Seagull 1963

  • San Martin GMT(Ice Blue)

  • Seiko NH35 Field Mod

  • Timex Marlin(California Dial)

  • Baltany Oyster 1929

  • Timex "Midtown"

Ok, now that that's out of the way.

Wait, I forgot my...

  • Seiko SKX(Modded)

... that's 25 total... geesh!

Well, that is my collection as of Monday 2/24. I really want to get it down to 12 by the end of the year. But until then...

Any comments or suggestions?

Is 25 watches too many?

Seeing my taste, what watch should I look to get next?

Thanks as always for chiming in. My psychosis is open to your commentary lol.

Until next time...✌️

Total forgot about these 3 ol' gems...

You have a great collection!

Yeah depends, I can only speak from my own experience but I did have up to 24 at one point. I found it was stressful not being able to wear great watches that frequently.

I love your collection v similar tastes and budget to what I have. Funnily I was looking at my full 12 watch box this morning and was thinking should I go for a 2nd box. Perhaps I should keep it to one box. I recommend you downscale, it will be interesting for you, analysing where you have cross-over and which are keepers.

I get it……I had 27 watches….but sold off 12 of them….but that’s the cool thing about this hobby, buy/sell and start all over.

Yeah. It gets clearer the more my taste evolves.

About 2 years in. It's true, I'm just starting my decent into insanity.

Love the collection Kevin! In my opinion you don’t have enough watches yet 🤣 I think 31 is the perfect watch number honestly. That’s one watch a day for the longest period month before going back into rotation but that’s just me
