What is the average number of watches one should own?
Just wondering what is the average number of watches one should own.

After my interest in watches was sparked 1 month ago, i found myself buying & buying watches.

in the last 3 weeks, i have bought 3 watches 1) SKX007j, 2)Skx009k 3) SRP307J.

Is this a bit too obsessive? or perhaps its the norm around here..



what are your thoughts?

oh yes.. i heard from a friend that watches should not be kept inside a box, rather they should be aired.

how true is this?

whats the best way of keeping these little guys?

All of the watches you own should be in your rotation, whether it's once a week or just for one BBQ evening etc



If a watch doesn't get worn and don't have sentimental value, I would say flip it, try something else.

If it's cheap and not worth your time to flip it, give it away. Get someone else hooked into watches. Heheh

The best answer for this, start slowly. You wouldn't want to rush to fill up your collection or that new 12 slotter watch box, ending up flipping or unworn, yet can't flip pieces.



There's no average number, conservatively, it will be usually, 1 sports/utility/beater, 1 office and 1 dress for formal or, 1 auto, 1 quartz. or 1 black dial, 1 white dial etc etc



You make up your own collection and theme ;)



Soon you will have 3 of a kind, royal flush and 13 "ones' :lol:

Re: What is the average number of watches one should own?
The correct answer is N+1.



You always need 1 more in your collection ( N number of watches) , no matter how many you have !!! :lol:

I have the same syndrome. Started two weeks ago and bought 2 already. One JDM and another Swiss. Spent most of my online time reading watch forum and googling for the best deal. Is this normal? Seriously addicted. Lol.

I think this is normal.

The one you surf watch forum, the one you will want to buy.

I'm guilty too...

Re: What is the average number of watches one should own?
I think 3 is more than enough and should cover all the necessary occassions..one dress, one sports and one multi occasion. Sadly this watch thing is a sickness and I can't help myself..
