I have been collecting for about 4 years, and i only have 6 watches, and only 3 of them are more "expensive" than the others (casios/gshock)
I firmly believe that personally in my collection journey, its a marathon, not a race. I enjoy wearing what i have currently, while at the same time research and learn more about my tastes as time goes by. I was extremely close to pulling the trigger multiple times on impulse, with cheaper watches like a Presage/Vostok/Seiko 5/hamilton khaki/tissot le loc. But when i look back at the listings i saved, i realised that my tastes have changed over the years and i probably would not wear/enjoy that watch now. This is why i try to limit myself to 1 watch a year (excluding casios/gshocks), to really force myself to research and consider other watches, and not make any impulse purchases that may give me buyers remorse in the end.l
