What is the point of "too much of the same"?

    So I now own all of the below (in order, 2533.50 America's Cup LE, 2232.30 Omega 150th Anniversary LE, 2254.50 Planpro mod, and 2255.80).

    At what point do I have too many Peter Blake Seamasters? Probably two watches ago? Fwiw my fiancée wears the 2255.80 most of the time.

    At what point? When you have to tell your kids you can no longer afford to pay for college for them because their college funds are fully spent on your Seamaster collection.

    I'd wager that leaves you some wiggle room to pick up a few more...

    Never. There is always another one out there that you don't own.

    So sell one or two and buy a different variety of watch.








    No, that does NOT mean purchase a Speedmaster. Get something completely different, maybe even from another brand.

    I just realized the OP has been infected by WUS disease where you buy tool watch after tool watch after tool watch (usually divers, but there is a mutation causing repeated chronograph purchases). At this point, it's too late for WUS repellent.....

    I might have to get a few of the doctors here to help develop a WUS vaccine.

    EDIT - Oh no, I just saw the OP's second post:

    It's obviously too late for him to ever be cured. ::facepalm2:: :confused: Everyone else hold your breath, run away from this thread, and hope you don't catch it!!!!

    I have a cal 266 Jumbo on the way. I'm not "just" about tool watches.

    Also have an Aqua Terra.

    There is hope for you after all. Now go forth and multi-brand. Take 2 IWC's and call us in the morning.

    You can't have to many of the sword hand series. Great looking and easy to read. I have a couple myself and plan to ad more in the future. All in good time though. No good rushing.

    PM and let's talk if you're serious! It needs a service (not from Omega obviously), but I haven't worn it in months!

    Wasn't really planning on selling it, but it may offset the AC that I have coming in. [emoji23]

    They're not. All legit. What makes you think so? The mod that I noted in the OP? If so, I had that one modded on purpose. [emoji6]

    "What is the point of "too much of the same"?

    We are collectors. This phrase is meaningless to us.
