[STOC] What’s your collection philosophy? (alien.top)

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’m a box checker, but I make the boxes myself. What I want the core of my collection to be:

-3 GADA on steel, black/white/blue faces
-1 work watch of minimalist/bauhaus design
-1 classic dress watch
-1 beater

Ideally those would be luxury pieces, but that’s not likely to happen for a very long time, if ever.
