I fluctuate between 40-55, but usually around 50.

And as others have said here: too many and never enough.

why have you started two threads basically the same on the same forum. One being how many watches do you own the other being how many omega's? Are you planning on robbing anybody specifically?

aka the "Why does anyone need need more then 7 watches?" phase 😀

Exactly what does NEED have to do with it, may I ask?

like @kingsrider said: Too much and still not enough.
The wanted list is longer than the task accomplished list.

about 30, half pocket watches, half wrist.... I alternate back and forth to keep myself confused.

Everything works and get used. More than this and you ca't wear them often enough.... or so I tell myself.... when I feel confused

Two rules:
wrist watches should be small and light, to tuck under your cuff nicely. (30mm omegas fit the bill nicely)
pocket watches should be big enough and heavy enough to use as a weapon. (18s railway watches are a good example)

There's is always room for just one more...

That is what I thought. I seriously ran out of real estate

About twenty. That I'm that vague should tell you I have the disease in a big way. 😀 I've had more in the past. 😬 Though to be fair I've been into collecting "old watches" since I was a teenager in the 80's. Chronic watchaholic. Though the watches I sold/gave away over the years... 🤦 The hoard, sorry collection these days is roughly divided into early wristlets, military issued/connected and the very early battery driven stuff, with a few divers thrown in. Always been the old stuff. The only new watch I ever bought was a late 90's Fossil digital, I bought on a plane on the way to Spain. In my defence I might have been slightly inebriated at the time...

I really do not own my watches, I merely look after them for the coming generations.
They will have their hands/wrists full.....
Publishing a list so that the better half can see it???
Yeah right!!!

When you hit 80, then start paring back. Like that list though!

Haha, I've only got two wrists! Appreciate it, the Longines bug has bit me hard recently.
