·For these purposes, I'm going to define "serious" as worth over $1,000. I'm curious as to how many people have, and how many your wear on a regular basis.
How many "serious" watches do you have?

·I think someone can have 30 Casio and be more serious about watches than one with 5 Rolex.

·It is hard to know. Are rusty old chronographs serious watches? (edit: the sellers of used rusted parts online certantly think so.)
I find it hard to place a value on my collection. A consignment seller would lowball the values, then maximize them to whomever was willing.
Of course I could look at sold listings. Perhaps I could get that. More likely such things if listed by an inexperienced seller would net perhaps 1/10th of what ever it is.
Tastes also change. So what is over 1K now might have been 69.86 when I bought it at a Hollywood pawn shop in the early 1990s. How easy is it to shift a 2K probably 230 year old enamel painted watch?
I like simple A Schild three hander watches from 1940s and 1950s. I can not think of a more serious watch. And they are likely to last 500 years, and may in some future time sell for more than 1000 fiat semolian sesteri.

·From memory I have a dozen. 3 Omega, 3 Rolex, 5 Tudor, 1 JLC.
They get worn semi regularly though I do have favourites.

·If $1000 is a serious watch.
Well I have 10-15 more serious watches than I had in 2020 and I have only bought one watch since then…..😗

·All of mine are serious till the Scotch gets poured and then the knuckle-heads in the bunch start with the jokes and become rather boorish, then the songs start and all *ell breaks loose. The 2 Rolex’s get ganged up on fairly quickly, the Scotch is never good enough for them and they become rather snotty.
They do give as well as they get…

I've been Orient-ed all day on a Monday.
Edited to add that I became disoriented and posted today's WRUW choice in this thread.

·I just compared my watch collecting spreadsheets to my retirement planning spreadsheets, and the answer is: too many.
