Just wondering what is the average number of watches one should own.
After my interest in watches was sparked 1 month ago, i found myself buying & buying watches.
in the last 3 weeks, i have bought 3 watches 1) SKX007j, 2)Skx009k 3) SRP307J.
Is this a bit too obsessive? or perhaps its the norm around here..

what are your thoughts?

You will soon find yourself looking more into the JDMs too...

oh yes.. i heard from a friend that watches should not be kept inside a box, rather they should be aired.
how true is this?
whats the best way of keeping these little guys?

All of the watches you own should be in your rotation, whether it's once a week or just for one BBQ evening etc

If a watch doesn't get worn and don't have sentimental value, I would say flip it, try something else.
If it's cheap and not worth your time to flip it, give it away. Get someone else hooked into watches. Heheh

The best answer for this, start slowly. You wouldn't want to rush to fill up your collection or that new 12 slotter watch box, ending up flipping or unworn, yet can't flip pieces.

There's no average number, conservatively, it will be usually, 1 sports/utility/beater, 1 office and 1 dress for formal or, 1 auto, 1 quartz. or 1 black dial, 1 white dial etc etc

You make up your own collection and theme

Soon you will have 3 of a kind, royal flush and 13 "ones'

The correct answer is N+1.

You always need 1 more in your collection ( N number of watches) , no matter how many you have !!!

TheChef · Post by **TheChef** » 14 Jan 2015 22:12

Yes, just one more watch forever.

watchlooker · Post by **watchlooker** » 14 Jan 2015 22:33

Some ppl hoot 2, 3 or more in one go leh.....

ivan · Post by **ivan** » 14 Jan 2015 22:57

Regardless what.
Is always nice feeling to buy.
Just know that you will lose a bit when u sell.

So dont rush.
