I've been collecting since ~1.5 years and I'm currently at 6 watches. I feel like the watch box is getting full quite fast.

I've been thinking the same thing as stated collecting about 2 years ago and have 4 watches. I think there's no right or wrong like everyone else mentions and it's down to your own feelings on it. I've bought 2 of mine and have been lucky enough to have 2 gifted. If it was my choice I would have kept my collection to 2 or 3 for the time being as I typically go through phases of wearing a certain watch for a couple weeks solid then switch to another. Having 4 I don't feel they get as much wrist time as I would like. I don't think I need to expand my collection any further for the foreseeable anyway

I’ve been “into” watches since 2010 or so and only have 3, one of which was passed down to me by my father-in-law. By my standards, your Steve McQueen

I could never see myself having more than one, however don't let that stop you from having your collection. I have more LEGO, music equipment, and computer tech than any individual probably should have. If I can have and use these, you can have and use your watches :)

I buy 1 max 2 watches each year otherwise I don't appreached them because the new toy is already waiting.

I also tend to wear the same 2 or 3 watches all the time anyway even though around 40 other watches are waiting in my safe deposit box.

I’m a little longer in but at a similar pace and have often thought that myself.. But as long as your affairs are in order financially, and it’s still bringing us the emotion we’re after then why not
