I may get my WC card taken away. But, I think both can exist in a collection. I have too many mechanical watches and I have an Applewatch. I use them both. I love my mechanicals and one quartz Boluva Lunar Pilot. I use the applewatch for working out, for gps on the golf course, or sometimes just hanging out at the house. When it becomes obsolete I’ll probably get another one, but it won’t break my heart. I guess in many ways it’s the ultimate “tool” watch for me. I use it for for very specific tasks.
As others have said, I rotate my watches so frequently that it really isn’t that big of deal for me. I appreciate how accurate my Omega, but in reality I never really notice.
I struggle with this too. Not because I think there is some magical number. But mostly just because I really like the watches I have and want to wear them. And when I get too many in my collection it feels like I don’t wear any of them enough. Right now I have 4 core watches (5 if you count a vintage citizen that only really wear for special occasions). Then I have 3 mods/builds I’ve made that I really like and then 2-3 that I’m working on at any given time. I’ve kinda settled on wearing at least one of my core watches every week and one of mods every week. I try to wear them each for a couple days at a time so they get some love.
Having served in the Navy, I would not buy it if had any specific unit info on it at all. But if I didn’t have any, I would jump on that one if I had the chance. I think it’s an awesome looking watch.
