SOTC: A Collection of Collections
Reflecting on the State of My Collecting as one does on the anniversary of one's trip around the sun (or is that just me?) and I thought it would be fun to see how many themed collections I could make with my watches.
After I hit 15, I thought "Well, I could go forever at this rate." so I figured I'd better define a collection and I settled on 3 watches being a collection. You can say 2 watches is a collection if you want (and I have in the past), but I'm now going with the minimum as being 3 watches.
I still ended up with 26 sub-collections.
Did I miss any? How many sub-collections can you make out of your main collection?
Edit: I missed a Timex collection (forgive me @TimexBadger) and a Citizen Collection (which probably isn't one, since the two red Dial Citizens are Mumbai Specials).
Long time watch appreciator, 2022 inductee into the obsession. Originator (or perpetrator depending on your point of view) of #WhimsicalWednesday, #MacroMay & #MacroMonday Omega Speedmaster simp. Like...

Yeah, that's probably my best 3 watches
If two is a collection? My in-house collection, my automatic collection, my sapphire collection, my coated/plated collection, my swiss collection, my gada collection, my everyday collection, and and so on 😅
Anyways, way to go 🥳

Now, now, don't get jealous of my seemingly infinite collections. 😉😂
Really dig the gradient dial on that Glycine Airman! All the best on your birthday 🍻

That's just the (poor) lighting. That top half is in shadow, but a neat pic anyway.
Hmm.
Digital - teen years - inherited - dive - vintage - dress - gifts - chrono - gimmick/novelty - broken - steel - resin - auto - gold/two tone - black dial - light dial - Casio - analogue Quartz — and I think that’s it. Can squeeze few more in with duos (Timex) and technically broken is a duo at this time. Also ladies/unwearable is a bit of a hand wiggle since they’re mine, but I can’t wear them (and fit in inherited anyway) so they really belong to my wife. That’s what… eighteen/nineteen sub collections in a box that contains space for eight working watches, with a couple squeezed in non-defined spaces. 😆
(And Happy Birthday dude.)
Nice! Thanks for playing (and the Birfday wish)!
Happy birthday. You are a legend!!
