Haha, I doubt it....if you're anything like me, they'll just keep coming in. I'm up to two boxes by now....and not small boxes mind you. I feel like it will settle down and I'll grow out of it at some point, but its been a year, and still not happening.

Looks good so far!! I didn't start trimming things down until I got to 100+. And even after starting to trim down and sticking with a one in one out strategy, it's so much faster and easier to buy than it is to sell that the ins seem to stay 5 or 6 ahead of the outs :)

 

Good luck with your own trimming down attemp. But in the meantime, I'd buy a bigger box :lol:

If you insist :) I love to show my box :giggle:

 

Actually it's 2 boxes. One which I built partitions and cushions for, and one "loose" box that I just haven't gotten off my ass to build the partitions and cushions.

 

 

wherealien, here's what you have in store for you!!! :lol: . As I said, good luck trimming down!!!

Well said :)

 

As far as a favorite (or two), I dont really have one. I wear them all through a rotation, wearing a different one every day. I generate a random number list and use it each day to determine which one is up to wear that day. Haha, you can stop laughing now!! I'm not pulling your leg. Example below.

When I was starting I got up to about 25 reps then realised what I liked and trimmed it down over time to what I have now, so I now have about 7-8 reps and a few gens and I keep them all in a glass fronted solid oak display cabinet , most with their presentation boxes for show :-)

 

Not a great pic but you get the idea......

Off to a good start!

 

For a little variety you might want one with NO complications and a clean dial... Just the time. And if the IWC isn't on gen alligator, think about it, there's no comparison.

 

@cogwach ... You're a maniac. Wow.

That is the most beautiful and at the same time scary thing i have seen. The beauty part is obvious. The scary is i thought i could control this watch "problem" i have. Now i see im doomed!

150! Can we see your box please?

 

I think I have around 40 watches and was starting to think it was getting rather silly. Now that I can see I'm not the only nutcase I realise that it will be perfectly fine for me to continue building my collection as there are still so many watches that I NEED to own! Another watch box is on its way as we speak.

Thank you for making me feel normal!

 

Matt.

A big no no! Please don't start talking about costs.....you will only upset everyone. I don't want to think about how much I have and will spend!
