[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.

It's fancy jewelry that my wife buys me (I buy her enough, she owes me) and stuff I get at thrift stores.

Honestly, the ideal number is zero (because phones) or two -- a nice one and a G-Shock. I have more because I hate money.

I love this way of putting it, I can definitely relate to your philosophy
