Advice on circulating watches in collection.

zinterz · Jan 16, 2026

Huge collection! I'm aware this is an old thread, but for me I'd like to try and wear all of my watches where I can. Some will be favoured more than others, but I don't personally see the point of owning a watch if I don't wear it... but that's just me.

Beautiful Omega collection 👌🏼

He's MIA for almost 2 years now, otherwise he could show it off some more.

Myself I am just a collector and don't give a toss whether I wear them or not however I enjoy everyone one of them.
Just about all my watches were serviced after I bought them and just put away in a cool dry stable environment and I know that they will not likely need servicing again in a very long time.
If I put them all in daily rotation I would be unlikely to wear each one more than once a year.

Hi everyone,

I am new to the forum but I have been collecting Omegas for about 20 years now.

However realised that in reality I wear my newest Speedmaster everyday and the rest just sit in a cupboard.

80% work, but I am worried that if I start wearing them, they might not work for long. I don't fancy getting them all serviced annually, so just wondered what people do to wear their watches without having to spend a fortune on constant servicing?

I would like them to get some use but is this just opening up a can of issues?

Many thanks

That's some collection, congrats on the Tintin. I'm struggling with this issue too although I don't have quite as many as you.
