My collection is a mix of quartz, auto and some vintage manuals. In all, I currently have approximately 30 watches. Most of them are 40mm or larger, with the exception of the vintage pieces.

I don't know whether you would call it collecting or accumulating, but I have been a watch "fan" most of my life. For year I subsisted on 5 or so high end watches (Rolex, Brietlin, Cartier) and then about 6 or 7 years ago, I got into the fun of less expensive timepieces from Siko to DOXA. My current "collection" is in the 75 watch range.

I had worn watches for most of my life but really wasn't interested in them other than using them to tell time. It changed about a year ago when I became enamored with a Rado Ceramica. I bought that and then a Citizen calibre 2100 a few months later. This past May, I decided to get a mechanical watch, an Oris F1 Chronograph '08, and the flood gates opened as far as watch collecting goes. I have bought 10 more watches since the Oris and still have a Benarus Megalodon on order. And there are still plenty of watches that I'm interested in.

hearteyes.gifI've worn a watch daily for more than 39 years but I didn't start collecting them until last year! yahoo.gif Although, I've been very interested in watches for at least the last 25 years. My humble collection is made up of my older Marathon (hand cranker), Seiko chrono and Tag Heuer 2000 chrono both of which are quartzies. My newer watches are all automatics and they are comprised of Seiko, Tag Heuer, Debaufre and Doxa. woohoo.gif At present I have 8 watches in my collection and I would love to add a few more. My next watch will be a Pilot/Nav-B style watch which I hope to acquire before the end of the year. :):):) After the Nav-B, I would like to add a nice GMT style watch to my collection. I don't believe I'll ever have a large collection because I have to keep my wife happy. hearteyes.gifhearteyes.gifhearteyes.gif My new hobby of watch collecting has lead me to realize that there are some wonderful craftsmen out there who make some amazing watch straps!  Well, I have purchased two awesome examples from Jeanna at Stone Creek Straps one of which is currently being made. So, in addition to buying some new watches, I also like to change their look by replacing the stock strap/bracelet with a custom strap. I dig being a member of 3T for many reasons, one of which is I get to see watches I will never be able to own. Thanks for the fun post, cheers. smile8.gif Last edited on Thu Aug 13th, 2009 03:38 am by stormin13 |

I have been collecting for 2 years now. An Oceanaut Seven Seas is what got me started. After getting out all my watches on saturday and taking new pics, my count is up to 77.:shock:

First off I haven’t counted my pieces, ever since someone asked me and when I said maybe 3 dozen, my wife piped up and said 46. Seems she likes to count for me so why should I bother, I can just ask her…. I’ve been collecting for over twenty years now specializing in early 30’s to late 50’s American pieces. I also have a small collection of later pieces including a Tag, Rado, RGM and a Chinese Flying Turbo to name a few.

Ok, so after catching up here I noticed that I did not mention my information. So, I will say that I have loved watches for over 30 years but id not really start purchasing any real pieces until a couple of years ago. A Daniel Mink flip watch is what started it all for me back in the late 80's.:) Because I have way too man interests I only have 9 watches at his time. Three of which are divers. I would like to add a GMT, moonphase and a grail watch soon but the wife needs to be kept happy. So this will have to wait a bit.  Thanks to all who have participated this was good info to find out.
