oakland Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I was searching through some threads today and noticed some pictures of watch boxes with tons of watches. It lead me to start asking how far some of us go. I myself am a noob, but my collection is steadily growing every month. I don't know if this has been discussed, if it has been, this can be considered an update. How many reps do you have? And can you have too many? If so, how many is too many? I have three. a PO, a horrible Yachmaster, and the titanium AMG Ingy. I see myself never going above say twelve in the coming years, but as with any hobby (addiction) i bet it'll be hard to stop myself. The floor is open, I know probably everyone here can beat 3, but who's got the most??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I've got 8 plus a gen omega and i know i'm not even close to the amount that some others on the forum have. I would bet that someone has over 50. I can't wait to see where this tops out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabber Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yeah, just broke down and got the Chrono Evo so that makes 28 I think. Need to check the spreadsheet. PT sent me a white Superocean by mistake, which if you haven't gotten the idea from all the pics, is an AMAZING watch. There are people with 50+ easily. I am hesitant to ever sell any, so am thinking that I could be around 50 in a couple years. Matter of fact, watches are the only thing I really spend any money on.

By-Tor Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I recall Richard Lawton had 250+ watches. Robertk also has quite a few: http://www.rwg.cc/members/My-collection-has-grown-t2811.html Tanfoglio's Rolexes: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=427&hl= PAMS: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=74&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'm currently at about 25 finished watches.. plus another 5-6 in various stages of modification or repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seank1 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I've got nine with the the Breitling Superfish and Chrono EVO on the way. Where has Tanfo been anyway? His collection is very impressive. Sean K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erd04056 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I have had as many as 12 at one time. I have recently culled the herd down to 4 favorites. A vintage sea dweller MBW, 1680, 5634, 212 PAM. The rest were not being worn and were sold. Quality instead of quantity was the final decision in what was gathering dust and what was actually worn.

shultzie Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 23... and 5 in transit... i might gotten carried away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy boy Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I don't have the most, but I bet I have one that ranks up there as one of the worst. My first rep is a 50th anniversary sub that I purchased from ireplicastore. I bought from them because they took paypal. This watch wouldn't fool Stevie Wonder if Stevie knows anything about Rolex Subs. It's not too bad except for the pearl which is about the size of a green giant green pea-uncooked. The watch is so bad, I don't think I'd wear it around the house. My total watch collection is somewhere in the 30s, five (soon to be six) of which are reps. I sold about 7 or 8 watches last fall to upgrade one of my bicycles to 10 spd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 23 and counting. Between buying and selling over the years I have owned over 150 between rep and gen I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Once up to 12 now down to 5 plus gen Omega. Quality over quantity for me. I've modded the reps I'm keeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willster Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 27 Reps....6 Gens ......2 Reps on the way and 5 reps to be ordered in about 2 weeks I can stop anytime I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalcranium Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Down to two reps from over 25. FA Jones and SS Sub. I love replicas and will always be a fan and part of the discussion. They were my introduction to fine time pieces but I find genuine collecting much easier to live with. I've also acquired a taste for early 20th century pocket watches. I have a couple of Hamilton 992 railroad watches that are amazingly accurate and close to 100 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanerich Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 18 reps at the moment, but I've sold or given away probably about the same number (my standard gift to friends and family these days, I have yet to meet anyone who wasn't thrilled) and wore out a few more. I've also got four gens and about a half-dozen cheaper watches -- G-shocks, Seiko Monsters and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I've got less than 30. Hopefully, I've got less than 25 now as that's 24 in the boxes and one on the wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWATCH Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 23. Three from Canal St. and 20 from our dealers. My first rep was actually bought off the street about 20 years ago from a guy who said, "Hey mister, wanna buy a watch?". It's a TT Sub, quartz, and is still ticking. Spent $75 for the three of 'em, but not at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I've had as many as 35 at once but am now down to 4 gens and 6 sweet reps. I'm much happier @ 8-10 watches at a time...I hated having to choose from 30 watches all of which I love, plus It was getting boring telling people I had 30 $5k+ watches because 27 of them were fake. Making myself to get rid of a watch for every new one I buy has improved my collection considerably by forcing me to be more selective (if it aint moddable to damn near perfect, I don't buy it) let's me justify spending big mig money on mods I never would have done before, has stopped frazzling my little brain so much in the morning, and increased the liklihood that the people I work with think my watches are real. BTW, kruzer00 has 3 times as many watches, most of which are top notch reps, as anyone else I've ever met or heard about. If watches were shoes his user name would be Imelda00.
