The ONE Watch
Having too many watches is kind of driving me crazy, trying to give every watch some wrist time is resulting in me wearing one watch to work, swapping to another watch when i get home and then swapping to another when i go downstairs for any reason during the evening/night. I am also obsessing with the accuracy of all my non quartz watches so i spend some time everyday when i get home to check their accuracy against online clocks and noting down their daily variances...the wife thinks i am loony and i am starting to agree; but i doubt i can stop myself from doing that, even for my cheapest mechanical with 7S26 movement....
So i am thinking, maybe i should SELL EVERYTHING and use the funds to pick up just ONE watch that is versatile enough to be worn to work and on weekends, that is interesting enough to hold my interest etc...
Anyone here think this will work to cure my OCD behaviour? Anyone else ever done this?
Any suggestion for that ONE watch, not too expensive of course...

Iwc portugese perpetual calendar. This would be my 1 watch if i were to sell everything. But i would keep at least 3 imo. Wouldn't want to do any rugged activities with this. Lol

Giving your collection a balance wrist time is not easy, and not hard as well... it all depends on how you organize your collections.balzebub71 wrote:...trying to give every watch some wrist time is resulting in me wearing one watch to work, swapping to another watch when i get home and then swapping to another when i go downstairs for any reason during the evening/night.

One day change few watches... is too tough for me. So what i did to my growning collection... organize and identify by grouping the watches according to range, and theme to change every single work week, weekends or special occasions. For example, there will be...
- Seiko Solar Chronos week
- Seiko Monsters week
- BAMBINO week(depending on whether the particular work week is physically demanding or not...)
- Swatch week
- Sandoz week
- Dress weekends, Quartz weekends, and so on...
So... different folks, different strokes. How they give a balance love to their collection also differs.
Then if you want to sell off your big percentage of your collection for 1 or 2 as daily beaters... and especially to go along with your "accuracy fetish", either you settle for a higher-end quartz, higher-end radio controlled, or COSC/Highly recognised mechanical movement piece to do so. However... @ what price?
And can you beat the poison bug whenever you walk by a showcase filled with "attractive" designed watches?
yan sang yew guo dak fai lok, zao yew dui yan hor see zou luo jik xing geh fan sik yu goon cha, ng hai zou yoo chun mong mok dek pan duun... yoo guo yi liong din doh mou geh wa, yat gor yan geh yat sang zao guo dak gey pok gai loh...
Re: The ONE Watch
There can only be one watch.......
Then again, you need a sporty watch, you need a dressy watch, you need a dive watch, then you need GMT, chronograph.....
Forget it, you still need a few watches to go along

Re: The ONE Watch
If i have to choose a one watch, definitely my rolex sub.
Casual, formal, great value retention, enough versatility for most ocassions/situations, evergreen design...
Any way I don't think the problem lies with the watches, but with your ocd, if it can be classified as a problem.

Re: The ONE Watch
think not very possible for 1 watch.
i would probably wan to have the following:
1) g-shock... for swimming, cycling, etc
2) rolex datejust... for occasions that calls for a dress watch... also to have as a couple watch
3) rolex gmt master 2... for those casual moments...

Re: The ONE Watch
Agree with both. Try to get a grip of yourself. DO NOT sell everything Bro. You might regret it at the end.lunarin79 wrote:there is no ONE watch imo and it will not happen to us.roo7 wrote:.......Then again, you need a sporty watch, you need a dressy watch, you need a dive watch, then you need GMT, chronograph.....

Just my 2 cents.
Enjoy the rest of the evening tinkering with your watch collection.

Re: The ONE Watch
I have my way of rotating the watches... By the date the watch last stopped at. Cuz I don't want to unscrew the crown or use the date's quick set unnecessarily, so I'll pick up the watch on the right date and right time, shake it a bit to wind it, and slap it on my wrist.
So in that sense, I would only wear each watch once a month for 5-6 days... If one happens to stop before the nearest date of another watch, my Rolex sub (non-date) kicks in as a sub.
I think getting that ONE which will stop the OCD makes great sense, but it may work for some and not on others. For me, since the SBGH065 found me, I stopped looking.
