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...
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 mean silicon air spring for example
Size of collection
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!

Since I have always been an A student.
I am an A: PP I am an A: JLC I am an A: IWC I am an A: Rolex So at the end I might be an D student.... need Fabr to do the equation on this one.
Thank you for your comprehension!
Hopefully the F category 50 and above isn’t reached anytime soon😉
A
First started to go for beauty and heritage only. The direction go to more technical choices, more into depth. This direction would go to only movements. Let’s say, in my A, a skelleton and moon phase can bring me to B. A is enough, but what would i say n...
