How many watches do you have in your collections?
Hey fellow purist, not sure if this was already discussed in other threads but I am curious to know how many watches do we have in a typical collection. Dont know if there is a survey option available, so to make it a bit more anonymous please share which of the 4 category would your collection fall into:
A- 1 to 5 watches
B- 6 to 10 watches
C- 11 to 20 watches
D- more then 20 watches
Personally in the past 5 years my collection has been overing between A and B, what is your letter?
Thanks in advance for sharing.

I am firmly in A territory
I have 3 sentimental watches that are classics and keepers + another 2 which come and go, usually sold after 2 years and that are more usually more funky I become uncomfortable with more than 5 (not enough wrist time, fear of misplacing them etc.)
My collection is an...
A, I now own three watches. It use to be six, now I have a three watch rotation which suits me well. My Rolex watches are all keepers.
But i would guess you have a little bit of “silicon” in the collection :-) [nt]

I am sorry to say that I am at level D twice, like the song "Twice Beaten, Twice Shy". Rafael
Wow, great responses guys. I should have added a triple D category clearly! So far we have if I did not miss anyone...
D=12 votes C=3 votes B=3 votes A=2 votes Giving equal weighting to the triple Ds as the normal D (lol) we have 60% in the D category. Very interesting!
Interesting as i flip flop myself between A and B then A and now definitively moving into strong B (not yet C) territory but...
Sometime when I have more watches i tend to put some of them in questions, then regret buying them, flip a few them thinking i will make better choices or can live with only 1-3 watches, then live with a couple of watches for a while, start craving having...
C, although the "active" ones are barely B.
I count 6 watches that get regular wear, plus another 8 that are a combination of (a) relatively formal watches I just don't get a chance to wear and (b) backup watches in cases in which I have found it appropriate to have a duplicate or approximate dupli...
Hi.. Watch Anonymous....
... my name is W72.... I have a problem... I am seriously into D category watch collecting.... I can’t seem to stop... I’ve tried so hard but I am so happy... now that I have said it... can you help? If not... can I go ....
C for me.
But a B if we are only counting “nice” watches, and by nice I mean Rolex/Omega.
Here is the updated count: 55% are D (26), 19% are C (9), 17% are B (8) and 8% are A (4)
But 100% are crazy passionate about watches! 😎😎😎
C
But until very recently a D. My goal is 5 - 7 total. I don’t think I could get it to under 5.
I am barely a B
and I am grateful and happy with my small collection. However, I hope to add few more in the future!
