All of them
Because I'm well past 13 already.
I went with 10-12. That leaves enough room for sentimental pieces from family, but then additional space for a few really special pieces that I love. I'm afraid that with a collection greater than 12 I just won't get to enjoy them all.
Funny that as of now 0-3 has no votes since every YouTuber, Blog or Forum always has an “ultimate 3 watch collection” run down.
10 is my absolute maximum because I have a 10 slot watch box. I personally think that 6 is a sweet spot. Plenty of variety without being overkill.
I have 43 so far lol
Cheers!
I have 4 watches in my core collection. All of them get about equal wrist time. So they each get worn only about 90 days a year. That’s not a lot. If I get a 5th watch, then we’re only talking about wearing each watch about 73 days a year. I think that’s the limit right there. I want to wear my watches.

How many do you have in your non-core collection?
6-12 allows you to have a watch for all occasions as well as varied brands, colors, and complications. I have 11, but only wear 7. I will probably end up with 12-18.

Two. My Apple Watch and G-Shock. Apple Watch is my work out and travel watch. G-Shock is my beater watch for days when I’m cleaning out the garage for example.

While I have core collection and non-core collection, I count them all together. I would think 3-6 is appropriate for a core, then there are the sentimental, occasional, and why haven’t I sold these yet watches.
I voted 4-9 but right now I've got 15 and trying to reduce. Do you count gshocks and casios?
I chose 13+ and here's why:
Eventually, I want to have a multi-genre collection. I want to have a bunch of 6-watch boxes; 1 box for family-gifted watches, 1 for Casio Digital, 1 for Casio Analog, 1 for Tissot, 1 for Seiko, 1 for Citizen, etc.
And when I have amassed a massive collection of fine watches, I will have a little "treasure trove" to pass down to my kids one day.
And in the meantime, I could wear a different watch for every day of a given month. 😎
Nine for my core collection. Those are bought, set, and completed. That said, I have budget watches which I don’t consider ‘core’. That’s where I let myself play a bit and try different things. Seiko, Pagani Design, and a Ball quartz now up to nine separate watches. I figure if it’s under $500 it’s cheap enough to try new things.
