Should start to go for quality (sophistication) instead of quantity.

'fashionist'  = 'lookist'  i guess this is the category we fall under  C.Julian.. at least for now..

'sophisticationist' = 'movementnist'  perhaps in time.....

I doubt I'll ever have dozens of watches. Wouldn't know when to wear which one. Given my small collection, I've been thinking to downsize to just 2. One for the day and one for night time.

Very unlikely as I was thinking the same thing... but with 2... the biggest question is always "which 2"
Terrenceterrence "seriously, i think buying a watch for it's secondhand value is like getting married and thinking about divorce at the back of your mind."

As a beginner to watches, just wanted to know more. What I learned now is not quantity but quality. Then will be easier. I will get myself a Patek this weekend and share with the forum soon. Thanks for the informative and helpful comments

Friend, i really admire ur enthusiasm. If u have just started with this watch fever and yet know how to ask such question to urself, then good for u.

As for me, a much simple minded guy, i just get the watch that i like without thinking too much (exclude budget issue of course!). Yes I have some watches but i don't know, or think that i am a collector, coz i sometime bought some and choose to wear them to match my outfit, also i don't really concern about their movements and functions which made me sophisticated as some pointed out... so i guess for me it's still a long way to learn and improvise.

Well , collectors or not is entirely judged by people in this forum, you should be the one who know most .There is nothing wrong with casios, citizens and ect. As long as you wear them happily and you keep them happily , I believe that's a collector in my definition .:)  Collector or not , be proud on what you like and not what to impress forum member !

For me... I have always thought that I will need 3 watches. Tops.

1. Tough daily work watch
2. Nice dress watch
3. Sporty weekend watch

And if from the KLCC boutique, please ask if they have the Calatrava 5119 model in stock? Would love to look at it.

Do check out Hour Glass at Pavilion also, no harm comparing the price a bit.

Why would anyone want to be an obsessive collector?
