How many watches do you have?

Lex Luthor

I'm relatively a new comer to the fascination of having a nice watch, but I was just wondering how many watches people have on here.

How often do you wear each one, etc

I have what I would call 3 watches that are worthy of mention and try to rotate them around as much as possible. I find myself having to wear the Steinhart OB1 during the week at work as its more durable than my other 2 and would take a knock easier.

But that just leaves the weekend to rotate the other 2. I know if I had myself another 3 or 4 I would not get the opportunity to wear them as often.

12. Would rotate 4 very regularly, the others regularly enough, once a month kinda thing

Bullseye1

I think around 10. I generally wear the same watch for about a week and then move onto the next.

Menas

I currently have seven. And two pocket watches which are not practical for wearing!
I seem to go thru phases of been really in to one watch and wear it all the time....then I move on and get fascinated by another in the collection.
But I would love to have a lot more cash and have a good watch to suit every mood....that day is far away!

I have 4. The dress watch only gets worn occasionally. The Seiko Tuna is for the gym/sports and the RSW Outland and Zenith Defy are worn roughly every second day.

Eoin

I've seven with another one on its way. I tend to change every 3 or 4 days.

Looking forward to seeing peasant's tally.

I'm in denial ...I'm not counting

The figure should be somewhere between 20 and 40


I wear them as the whim takes me ...from just a few hours to a whole week at a time.

4 decent watches and a couple of cheapie digitals. I rotate 2 during the week. I wear another sports watch (for sport) at the w/e.

I'd really like to add a Stowa (Ikarus or Marine, decisions, decisions!) and an SKX007 (or even a Seiko 5) to the collection, and might get to do so by YE - but there's always sth more important to spend the money on.

sparrowcar

6 watches, including 2 fashion watches (police, hilfiger) which I just still like the look of and won't offload them.

I wear a watch for a week or so and then change around again. Suunto gets used when in the mountains as it should be.

Tag is sitting boxed up as its going to be flipped soon.

Lex Luthor

I'd like to add a chronograph to my small collection at some time
This one if I can get the funds together would just compliment everything else I have

I have a bit of a eclectic collection of 6, from the reasonably decent to downright cheap and cheerful, like them all and looking forward to adding to the collection.

I have someone in the UK looking out for a good condition IWC Portuguese Chrono automatic #371446 for me, that I reckon would fall into the reasonably decent bracket:)

Eleven.

There's a dressy Bell&Ross that only gets worn on occasions, a Tag Heuer Monaco that's been left in its box (I didn't take to it) and an old Rado that I'm sentimental about so don't wear. Also have a Plojot that needs servicing, it's running very fast so that's parked for now (can't decide it it's worth the 220 or so euros to service).

The rest are rotated every day, sometimes twice a day.

Deep Thought

4

Omega PO XL,
IWC Aquatimer,
Suunto Core,
Steinhart Marine

Looking at maybe flipping the Steinhart and getting a white Chrono...if my rebate comes in , then IWC Portugeuse 3714 or Dornbluth or Zenith El Primerio

Lads,

I've gotta go to the States in May, is it worth buying a new one over there as they appear to be "reasonably" priced.

Anyone had any experience or advise.

Thanks.

TbL

Ps apologies Lex for diverting the thread.

Clearly infected NL, musta shook hands with Peasant at some point.

With my stuff being old I sometimes have to be careful as they're not as robust as modern stuff and they've been around a while, so an easy life is a good idea. Though sometimes that can go either way. A good few months back I was wearing one of my more modern design yokes and one of my earliest wristwatches(long story was making sure the old one was keeping time on the wrist. Yep I'm that sad :)). I got hit by a car, bruises and such but the newer watch stopped working and I'm saving up the beer tokens... The old 1916 yoke, on the wrist I actually fell on? The glass popped alright but it kept on ticking and is on my wrist as we speak.

Anyone have a watch smart enough to deal with DST?
I've got 5 watches, 4 Seiko's and a fossil blue titanium that I got from my wife as a 21st birthday present.
She got me another Seiko with a puerperal calendar that goes to 2100, but I've never seen an analog with DST

Will have to check my Casio Waveceptor, haven't worn it in ages, but I thought it had a setting for auto DST

Yeah, anything radio controlled should do it. My cheapo Lidl RC bedside alarm certainly did.

Marcusm

IWC Big Pilot & Portugese Auto Chrono
Panerai Luminor Daylight
omega SMP, Speedy AP, AT2500, Railmaster XXL, POXL, 61 gold case Seamaster, Vancouver SMP (to brother)

Not bought anything for a year; can't decide what next. Have never sold/traded.

Cyrus

Only 4 for me,which is the right number for my uses,

Rolex sub c, omega speedy coax, panerai 359 and iwc Portuguese chrono

Kintarō Hattori

Seiko 5 SNXS77K
Seiko SNN079P2 (Love this- just wish it were larger)
Seiko 5 SNK805K2
Getat 44mm
