·I chuckle every time I see this thread's title.
You at least need to have a dress watch and a casual watch, right?
And maybe a sport watch?
And a watch that you wear to the local pub when there is a chance you might fall down on the way home?
And a cool old chronograph?
And a diver?
And a military?
And then you have the whole black band, brown band, steel band thing. I mean you can't get caught wearing a black band with brown shoes, right? And for that matter, black is always black, but brown is never brown. And who wants to swap out the band every morning?
And we haven't even mentioned a world timer or GMT yet.
And you gotta have at least one tonneau case, right?
And? And? Aaaaahhhhrghh!
I get what you are saying, but I truly wish I could do it. If it weren't for a few that I have attached sentimental value, I'd love to have one watch -something like the Explorer, or OP39 (not a fan of the latest), or even a DateJust. But then I just got the Speedmaster and that could work too...maybe.
More realistically, a 3 watch collection for me would be the Speedmaster, an Explorer (or Sub - 5 digit), and Reverso.... but I could never get rid of my Grandpa's Deville, or my Planet Ocean that has attached memories, and I might as well keep my two Seiko divers for yard work, because one isn't enough...A GMT would be nice to have as well...a ha ha, you're absolutely right.
