Still currently own about 2/3. Tastes are always changing. Usually it’s one in one out
Ok. That's a actually... Awesome! I am not there yet but I feel I can with the right amount of pushing from stuff on this forum.

I've always had proclivity for collecting things. Over the years it has focused on many areas; books, cds, jiu jitsu GIs, guitars, - pretty much anything I start to take an interest in!

Since last year, my focus switched to watches. I've always loved them and up till then had only bought fashion watches for max £150.

So in my first year collecting in 2018 I picked up :

Tag heuer monaco
Omega suveran
Omega 30T2 bumper
Omega seamaster de ville
Omega Cosmic
Seiko pogue
Speedmaster Broad arrow 3594
Rolex explorer 2
Tudor black bay GMT
Tudor black bay
Vintage Jaquet-girard

Around half way down the list I also had to stop telling my wife regarding new incomings!!

I had only planned to buy one 'nice' watch at the start of all this so it's quite sobering to read down this list. That's what I get for joining a forum full of enablers 😉

Haha - best laid plans.....

I've retained all my purchases so far, but starting to hit the critical mass of having a bit to many to give proper wrist time to.

Maybe one or two more (explorer 1 hopefully incoming soon!) and then will try your suggestion of one in and one out.
