Multiples of same watch...
Hi all... Curious as to how many of us here have the SAME watch in multiple iterations of such. While logic dictates that it should be best to spread one's collection by having different watches, I am also assuming that emotions sometimes overwhelm logic and some end up with say, 6 Datographs or 45 Daytonas or 95 Panerais or 40 Royal Oaks. Care to chime in if you see multiple iterations/different vintages of a same watch when you look in your drawer/safe?
Feel free to reply as moved to do so. Maybe a yes or no and if inclined, which brand or model that you have that you have multiples of same watch. Thanks a bunch and looking forward to getting an idea on how it is!!
Do allow me to start... YES-Lange/VH/Journe. This message has been edited by Rob on 2010-01-13 03:52:11

Your question is a little unclear....
... same watch , or watches from the same brand - i.e., when you say you have multiple FPJ, VH and Lange, do you mean multiple copies of the same watch? In either case - does your wife have a sister? ;-) Cheers, pplater.
Sorry...
and in my case, its unfortunately multiple copies of same watch Curious to see how many others here are as poorly disciplined and demented as me.
Yes.
IWC ref. 803A (one plain dial, one "Turler"-signed dial) IWC ref. 810A (one silver dial, one anthracite dial)
Yes.
3 Omega Speedmasters and 3 Omega Seamaster 300's. i think 6 seamasters in total, but they have such a wide variety of models that i dont really count them as the same. interesting question. Graham
Thanks a lot Graham...
Have always admired your collection. Thanks again and apologize for not having been clearer in original post.
hey Rob, unlike pedantic ppppplater( ...
hey Rob, unlike pedantic ppppplater( :)) ) i knew exactly what you meant and it was a pleasure to join in. best Graham
I'm greedy so no...
I don't have multiple copies of the same watch. I assume you mean multiple watches of the same "model".. such as Lange 1, or Seamaster, or Resonance etc... Does having a Lange 1 and a Lange 1 moonphase count? In any case, my answer is NO. I admit I'm way ...
Thanks...
and apologize for not being clear. Admire your discipline!! Thanks again for chiming in.... Congrats again on your DB15!!
Yes, but very exotic
I have: 4 Seiko 6309-704x's (various states of (dis)repair 2 Seiko 6015-811x's 2 Stocker and Yale 490's 2 Citizen Bullhead 8110s 4 Aqualands. 2 Omega 40's SS 26.5s (This post just scared me, I didn't realise I had so many double-ups, and I'm not sure wher...
Oh, yeah
5 Royal Oak Chronographs, 5 Royal Oak Offshores, and a box to hold all 10. When you know what you like, why not specialize? Incidentally, having a box one likes can be a useful crutch for limiting the number of related watches. Park
Indeed...
and when you have really found what you like and specialize, I think that makes the collection even more special as it goes further along. Thanks for sharing!!
I'm beginning
to see a lot of new logics here on the forum...boxes as crutch limiters, backups for seasons I'm beginning to understand that wisdom is something that we never completely understand. Someday I might get it and start specializing too Richard
Apologize for not being clear...
in my original post. I had somehow worded the parameters purposely so, to hopefully encourage more people to participate, in an effort to get a more accurate picture on whether many of us here have multiples/variants of one watch ie Royal Oak Jumbo, Royal...
Not duplicates for me Rob
in that I won;t buy a Lange 1 in different case materials as an example. I may have different models from say Lange or UN. It's just me but I just want to try different things... but just for watches and not food .... wierd eh. Maybe its becuase I'm still...
Copy that...

Nothing on your scale, sadly ...
The same watches, but so very different…. A couple of these are the same watch – sort of…;-) Pick the odd one out… A small beginning…. Now, if we were to talk about brand allegiance – but maybe that’s another thread? Cheers, pplater....
My scale...
unfortunately is giving me VERY bad numbers at the moment. Sorry, bad joke. I am seriously loving your collection pplater! It shows depth and a sneak peek into your thought processes as well as how dear some are to you. Much appreciated. GREAT shots by th...
How about it, Rob?...
You kicked us off on an interesting excursion here. All that was missing was photos! How about it? Cheers, pplater.
