I could easily live with 3 but I have watches I am not willing to part with as I enjoy them still. As long as they are worn and get time then why not.

I think 3 would be a good number to keep in rotation.

I attempt to live a minimalist lifestyle of just the essentials, so subscribe to a small watch collection.
I currently own an Oris BC Pro Pilot along with an Apple Watch Series 2. The Series 2 is for every day and tracking runs, the Oris is weekends or when I want mechanical only. My dream watch collection would be a Rolex Submariner Date as my every day watch (T Minus 2 months if I'm lucky with my AD order!) and then one other watch for smarter occasions or just to switch it up. Current dreams are a Rolex Daytona, Grand Seiko Snowflake or a Patek Aquanaut. A man can dream, right?! But aside from my fantasies, the hear and now affords me a nice 2 watch set up and I honestly can fathom needing more than that. 1 for everyday use, 1 for refined situations or just to smarten up, 2 feels just right. |

If you ever felt generous and fancied helping a fellow Englishman with their dream watch collection, I'll trade you my Oris Pro Pilot for your white dialled Daytona. ;)

A TT Champagne Roman DJ 36mm
A SS Oysterdate refurbished by Rolex A TAG Caliber 5 diver 41mm Fits all my needs. Bought and sold 10 watches to get to this order. Three is a good number for me! |

I wish I had a brother that was into watches because I'd happily share some of these watches. I don't own a Rolex yet so maybe my opinion will change.
But I'd love to be able to borrow a watch for a week or two then switch around. Rotating 3-4 watches between two people would be great! |

Currently have 3 but could see myself going down to 2 in the future. Maybe 1 SS and 1 PM.

Hell No, 3 is a trio and who wouldn’t want that?

2 has been perfect for me but I could see 5 finding their way into collection.

You need a diver, a chrono, a GMT, a rubber strapped, a leather strapped dress watch, something in every precious metal, some crazy complication like a Sky-Dweller or YM2, then you need haute horology and you're totally screwed.

Well, instead of going to an AD to look at empty cases or staring at pics online, I go to my safe and figure out what I want to wear, or I go to my bank box and grab 3-4 for the month. In a way it’s like shopping or getting a few new pieces but it’s my watches and not new expenses.
I get the point OP and I do sometimes think about how many I have put away (fortunately), but they do get their moment to shine and I always feel like I’m wearing new pieces. The newness doesn’t wear off. I haven’t gone off the wall wearing two at once (yet), but to those saying you can only wear one, you do have two arms. Now that would be a tell tale sign you are in the presence of a WIS. ⌚️⌚️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This is a much better way to explain and ask what I asked in my previous post “how do you rotate your watches?” Thank you for this! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
