Collection dogmas
I completed a 5 piece collection with the following rules:
1. Steel case on steel bracelet
2. Dark grey or Black dial
Do you have any dogmas in your collection?

I like to have at least 1 Swedish and 1 British watch in my collection.
No Invictas or “U-blows” 🤣

I like that rule …
This post made me wonder what my dogma is🙄
I tried hard but I can't seem to find anything common other than they all tell time.
Even if I narrow them down to only analog watches I can't find anything common other than those most analog watches have - hands, indices, logo, prints, and crown.
So I am a collector with no dogma. I don't like the sound of it. But I'm fine....... Well, am I?

Nice collection! Definetely your approach is not as narrow as mine! You have a couple of my favorite pieces too 🙏🏽
Preety boring/classical general rules set some time ago:
diver ( have one )
GMT ( have one )
modern dress ( have one )
vintage ( have two )
everyday/GADA ( have one )
beater ( have one )
chrono ( buying this year )
As for other preferences ( dials, bracelets, where made ... ) nothing special, I buy what I like and what speaks to me. Definitely not buying blatant homage watches or fakes, fashion watches and Aliexpress watches. And definitely finished/beyond hoarding phase, if new one comes one has to go.

You have a dogma, it is called collecting class😀 No seriously, very nice and rounded collection💯
I operate a one in one out rule, unless I've received one as a gift.
No clomages, gotta look good on a NATO

I don’t think are boring at all. Also I like the new one comes one has to go rule, I think I have to start doing that … for me the goal is create collections of five. I believe I’ll go for orange dials next ¿?

Solid rule that I hope to apply one day 😅
