Do you buy and keep all of your watches? Do you have a one and done collection or maybe you’re like me and feel like three is the magic number. Would be fun to start a thread and see the reasoning behind everyone’s watch purchases 😁

Personally I feel like three is the perfect (and somewhat reasonable) watch collection size for me since it covers all aspects of my life:

Nomos Orion 35mm - This is my mon-fri office watch

Omega SMPc 300m - My weekend / going out watch.

Casio A168 - My work from home and traveling watch.

I have an 8 watch box. My main rule is simply: one in, one out.

Other than that, I've limited myself to around 3k max in one watch.

I try to get watches that feel different enough from each other, although it's sometimes hard because I have somewhat specific and boring taste (black, blue, cream, silver, dials)

The current collection is:

Tudor BB58

Nomos Orion

Sinn 104

Halios Seaforth

Formex Essence

Monchard pulsation Chronograph

GS SBGW231

So I have one spot left and a few ideas, but nothing definitive.

Love your taste lol. Problem is, the ~3k range cuts out some must-haves for me in the bb58 and seamaster
