C'mon. Can the mods please shut down this thread?

What a ridiculous question.

The answer of course only comes when you draw your last breath.

When you are forced to sell a watch so you can buy beans and weenies for dinner, you may have too many watches. 😁

When you recoil in shock to see the insured value of your watches in your statement. When your wife says "I'll bet there's a Floridian condo in your safe Deposit Box. "

And the worst part is she's probably right!

"But honey, my watches would RUST in Florida!" Thus ending the conversation.

I constantly ask myself this question. I’m trying to go with fewer but better. It’s not really working. The better part is working. It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you put your mind and wallet towards it. But no luck on fewer. At some point you have to establish a limit right?

I only want to be owned by no more than a dozen. I recently went from six to five, then right back to six. There are only about three that are seriously on my want-list. But I spend a lot of time just admiring them by the hundreds. I used to want scores of whatever I happened to be collecting at various times in my life. But as I get older I find more joy in truly enjoying a few things rather than being burdened by many.

But watches are small - had to take your approach when I was still collecting pinballs...

Once upon a time I built a 6,000 sq.’ garage. It was sometime around that era when I realized I had a car problem. Luckily all my watches fit in one box.

That would mean you need more gold and less stainless 😀
