    So I was looking at my vintage Omega collection this morning and realized that I have a problem!?! I like them all and I don't want to sell any of them! I've spent a lot of time carefully collecting original examples with clean dials, nice hands, unpolished cases, etc. and now I find that I don’t want to sell one for each new one that I acquire. I want to keep them all! Just a few examples below. Who else painted themselves into a corner like this? :eek: Clearly I am not very bright and this is a BAD hobby. :)

    They look awesome. Twice a day rotation may help solve the problem;).

    It's normal, once you accept you can't possibly wear them all as much as you would like it gets easier and you can focus on accumulating many more without worrying about it :D

    One on each wrist might also help, if you're not already doing that... Also, dibs if you decide to part with any of them!

    I could be convinced to provide an extra wrist to help you rotate them. Beautiful sample!

    I wear every Omega I have, a few days here, a few days there. Don't wear much of the not-Omega though.

    Twice a day rotation and one on each wrist to properly give each one its due.

    My collection is no where near as good. But I only rotate 3 out of 6 watches. I guess that's why it's called collecting and not "actively using"

    Yes, that is the correct answer, pioneered by Nicholas Hayek in the 80s, so it should be approved by Omega.......

    I'm not sure what the problem is here...I see 7 watches, and 7 days in a week. When you get to 30 watches...easy...30 days in a month! You see where this is going, right?

    Wearing is for sissies, compulsive hoarding is for men.
