I'm not sure how many watches I already have but starting about 10 years ago, I would buy 2 or 3 major pieces a year and a few minor ones in between the majors. I also buy for my wife, though not as many and not as often; and for my sons whom I hope will also collect watches when they are more mature, more responsible and maybe stable enough.
After taking a mental stock of what I have, I'd say 50% of my watches are divers ( I dive 5 days a week.....on my desk
), a quarter would be chronos, a few GMTs and the balance would be "times and dates" only. I only collect about 7 brands so that I ride and mature with the brand's development and this also forces me to research the brand and keep pace with its innovations and progress. The few exceptions I make outside these brands are for unique pieces to add new blood to my collection lest my own development stunts and sputters.While I collect some of the marquee brands, believe me Seiko is one of my all time favorites. I spend longer times oggling Seikos than other brands at the watch sore. You'll never go wrong with a well-selected Seiko.
