How many watches is the right number for you?

5 or 6 for me would be perfect, and a couple for Clare.  So why do I have about 50 and Clare, 18?

Are you sure she is a woman? Because women have only one watch... And 50 pairs of shoes.

Hmmm.  That makes me wonder.  And she's attended GTGs in London, (x2), Halifax (x3), Berlin and Prague.  And drinks pints.

For me it's 11. Watch box holds 10, and 1 on my wrist.

I guess the answer , as for many here, is one more than I currently own!

In truth I have far too many, but I struggle to let them go! Latest count is something like 16 gens and 18 reps, but those numbers are dynamic.

What's really silly is that I have a G-Shock metal analogue - digital that I tend to wear most days, because I'm comfortable knowing it's virtually indestructible, and wears really well.

The rest have to vie for my attention, with the result that there are some I haven't worn in well over a year, but still I struggle to consider selling them!

Same story here kept old watches bought for me as a teenager and so on then bought a couple of cheap ones myself as going through college as all i could afford. Late father in law sparked my interest again with his gen longines (which is now mine) bought a few Seikos then found this place. first rep was a noob pam111 bought the father in law one as well. Now i dip in and out when something takes my interest i have a 10 slot box which is full but might buy another small 5 slot as have one due in and have been liking rhr look of SOH heritage, rep prices too dear now though i think from TD's. But i have been looking lately at modded seiko world also which is very interesting. Shit best make that another 10 slotter.
I tend to wear 1 or 2 watches throughout the week so for me 12 or so is the right number but i have some now not worn in a while as you have your daily goto pieces.

Were all in trouble arent we ha ha

At this point it’s safer if you don’t.

SEVEN.

In heavy rotation now:

5 Reps

1 Gen (+1 incoming)

My box is littered with other watches but I feel pretty happy with these 7.

I look daily for new Reps but the last rep I bought was 7 months ago (thanks Mary :))
