Let me start by saying I never meant to reach 12 watches. I brought the SRPD73K1 and the GA2100 to replace an older smart watch that I didn't like using any longer. Many have been through the collection and it could easily have been more watches sat in this picture.
It's definitely the first time I've looked at what I had an I've wondered why I have so many and I'm mainly wearing the SSK001 these days so I'm seriously considering selling all but that.
I think I'm mainly questioning myself at this point and whether I can truly justify keeping 12 or whether any of you fellow enthusiasts would suggest trimming it down a little bit.
Any input would be appreciated!
I love the Flightmaster, in fact I'm wearing one now, it was one of those watches I didn't expect to enjoy so much until I saw it in person and had it on my wrist - I would keep! +1 on the SSK and I've personally enjoyed the GM2100 (SS bezel version).
Regarding the number of watches, everyone collects for different reasons. I have a lot of watches, and it's impractical, many of them 'overlap' - but the only person you really need to justify it to is yourself. Some feel better with a pared down collection, but that's not necessarily better or the 'correct' way to do it.
Watch enthusiasm is being able to imbue these objects with a personal meaning that makes you feel something . Hold them, wear them, listen to them, look at them under a loupe, whatever it is - keep the ones that spark something and don't worry too much about having a 'perfect' collection.
