Two of the same watch? Am I crazy?

Anyone own two of the same watch. I love my B-1 so much I am contemplating adding another one in another dial color. I could switch it up a little bit and add an Airwolf. What are your thoughts?

With a big budget and many watches... sure. Budget being an issue and only owning a few watches... no way.

But if you love it enough to want two there's no rules to this game.

At one point I owned 2 SA's and 2 Navi Worlds at the same time. They were all great, but eventually I found I was wearing one colour way more than the other, so I sold one of the the SA's and one of the Navi Worlds. But as Time Bandit said, there are no rules, so if you like a certain model enough, then two of them is entirely fine.

I own 3 Breitlings and 2 of those are Headwinds. Absolutely love them!

I have a black dialled one in SS case and bracelet as well as a gold dialled one in SS case with gold riders and crown. The gold dialled one looks amazing on brown calf or brown croc but also have SS bracelet too.

It is amazing how different what is effectively the same watch can be made to look.

I say "go for it". After having my eye on a Breitling for years, I finally was able to take advantage of a LE Airwolf offer. Already I am contemplating a similar SQ with blue dial. After stumbling onto this forum over a year ago, I can attest to the fact of the repeated claim that Breitlings are indeed addictive!

I've thought about another Super Avenger but I know I wouldn't wear it as much as the one I have.

i seem to crave variety. i want watches that will "fit" different situations. So i can't imagine owning two of he same watch until i had an awful lot of watches. Even then I'd probably branch out to other brands b4 having two of the same Breitling.

If you totally love the watch go for it....but I would make sure they are different enough to justify it.

Or keep one for good times and one to get beaten up daily.

Personally I have 2 super Avengers but both very different....one Blacksteel and one stainless with diamonds.

Do it!

Two Navitimers only ? But there are so many movement, generations, dial colors. Is it an addiction ?
