How Many Watches In Your Collection Rec. Wrist Time?

I now have 16 reps and two cheap Gens (Seiko and Poljot, both autos) and wear most of them.

I have a few I'm considering getting rid of, including the VC fantasy (far right) and blue Omega in the middle, but they're not accurate reps so I doubt I'd get much for them. I'll probably give the Omega to my younger brother and flip the VC on one of the forums in an interesting and original way. The two Rollies top left get no wrist time at all, but I like having them around. The Omega SMP-GMT doesn't get anywhere as near as much wrist time as it deserves and I'll have to consider finding a home for it so it gets the respect it deserves.

The MoonWatch, Navi, PortoChrono, GST and 196 seem to hog wrist time as I think I like Chronos, and the 111h is taking a back seat now I have the 183, but that'll probably stabilise. The Rolex Sub and GMT get worn regularly too, and I don't think I'd be happy if they weren't there.

The Breguet is an excellent watch but it gets near zero wrist time. I think I need to keep it around as one day I know I'll need a fancy dress watch but if I had a Viagra Jones, I could flip it.

Naturally the RWG C1 gets a lot of wrist time with me... :lol: and only 3-4 out of my 25++ watches get much wrist time...some get less wrist time beacuse they are lacking a screw and some because I just do not beleive much in them myself

These get most wrist time; The RWG C1, VC Chronographe, IWC Jones, JLC retrograde date and now and then the OMEGAs.....when the winter comes along and the suits come out I will start to use my AP JAs :wub: again

Happy timekeeping

I am down to about 14 or 15 reps.

At one point I had 24. Finally started selling the ones I NEVER wore.

I wear mostly my Omega SMP and 007.

But recently I have been enjoying my new 'Perfect Sub' as well.

Bought a new TAG Link Chrono. Nice watch. The Pam's mostly sit in the case.

Long and short of it. I wear 7 or 8 of the 14 regularly.

The dress watches sit in the box. But I would not sell them.

tend to wear my genuine rolex gmt almost every day.

if not that, then my mbw 1680 (but i sold it last week :( or my genuine breitling headwind.

i have a new seawolf and a few Panerai reps on the way, so it'll be nice to have some variation.

i have another 10 reps and 6 other gens that i wear less frequently.

I wear my Omegas quite a lot altough the SMP doesn't get much wrist time after the PO's arrival

The PAMs get a lot of wrist time, except for the 196 which I'm debating selling as there is a 111 on the way (with Finepics for a lume and plume)

Of the last 3 the JleC is a rare wearer but I'll not get rid of it, the two IWCs get hardly any wrist time and may go too.

I think 6 would be about ideal for me.

I own 4 reps and 2 gens. My 3 favorite watches are the 183, the AT, and the Porto Chrono. I never wear the Sub because I dont like the perception wearing a rolex causes. It is a nice watch but needs a new bezel insert and the crown guards need to be filed down. I will probably sell this one. I like the 192, but I dont wear it much, I may sell this one as well. I recently purchased the 183 and love it. I am going to send it to The Zigmeister for reluming, servicing, and canon pinion.

i'm thinking of printing this topic to show my friends as proof that my watch additction is not totally abnormal.

i currently have 10 reps, and i try to keep the wrist time fairly equal. on weekends i tend to sport my bigger watches (187, 217, chrono avenger), while during the week i wear more reasonable sized watches (111h, 112h, sub, po, navitimer). my dressier watches (183, santos 100) generally get less wrist time.

Since these were taken a couple of months ago, I have a few more MBWs.

Of course, those are just the Rolexes.

I also have a drawer full as my patient little wife isn't going to let me have anymore space for boxes.

I wonder what this collection would sell for all together.

You're not even infected yet, let alone addicted.

bill - your a sick sick man. And - i wish you for you they never develop a cure.

- I have approx 14 or so including Gens I wear 1 a day, change basically every day. Try to match my outfit/ mood for the day.

sometimes the outfit is chosen for the watch :)

I think I am somewhere around $25K in reps.

Oh well, a man should have a hobby.

Bill, do you have multiples of the exact same watch? If you do, it's okay. :D thats what I do, for the fear one may break if I love it enough.

Hrmm... I think I'm sitting around 20 reps, 8 gens (ranging from 95usd fossil quartz to much much nicer autos)... one more rep on the way... one more to order the Wednesday after this (my wife limits me to 1 new rep per month after I had a bit of a spree... 10 reps delivered in under 2 weeks....)

Of the close to 30 watches I have... 3 get actual wrist time... my Tag Link Chrono rep and the IWC Ingy rep are getting most of the time... but the Omega PO is getting some *consolation* wrist time now...

There is a decent *mass market* jewelry store opening about a mile from my house here shortly... "Jareds"... I'm guessing I'll end up on a first name basis with them... the advertise pretty heavily that they carry most of the more known swiss brands... thinking that my gen collection will expand rapidly here shortly... have plans in about three weeks to purchase a nice black Gen sub (gawd bless Comp time payouts...)... that or a nice Tag and Omega Gen purchase.. haven't quite decided yet.
