The Breitling Watch Source Forums

So, I had my Chrono Avenger M1 for 7 years, and never felt the need to purchase another watch. Then I got a great deal on a used Wolf, and then an Evolution caught my eye. Move forward 12 months and its becoming clear that I have an addiction.



Should I sell them all and purchase one high end watch, or is that the start of something even worse......

Everybody's different. If you want to reach for a higher brand, that's fine, I chose to do it, but I wouldn't suggest selling them all to get it. Once you have had variety, I think its difficult to go back to one watch.

I'm having trouble with two lead watches ( a few quartzes I wear as well) My present idea of a "sweet spot " is four-- a white dial, a black dial with strap, black on bracelet and blue on bracelet or strap. I'm hunting the black bracelet now, but on a super tight and shrunken budget.

Ahh yes... The "multiple for one" dilemma... I've done a 2 for 1 before but not a "all-in". It is a very tempting thought though.

I feel like I could get plenty of rotation with the 4 watch stable, but everyone is different. Looking at your collection, and contemplating what I would do if it were mine, I would probably keep one digital option from Professional line-up and one chronomat style case. Maybe adding a third Omega or, if you wanted to really move up the ladder you could also unload one of the omega's still leaving you with a 5 watch collection with some very nice options.

Keep them all and buy a high end watch also, you only live once.

My watchest have also started multiplying like rabbits over the last 12 months.
There is no way however that I would swap them for the one "decent" one.
I would not know which one to flip first.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Lots of food for thought, and I like the idea of a 4 watch collection as I have a triple winder.

I want to add a Navitimer 01 to the collection, so may move on the Evo and the Navitimer to fund that (or at least the Navi, after all who needs two )
Ive only recently added the Omega's and have to say they are really growing on me, so I may look to add another (possibly the new PO with the 9300 movement)

Im thinking about adding a Bremont MBII to the collection as I really like the aviation connection (I'm ex Air Force) and its a British company.

I expect it will take me 12 months to cycle them as Im mainly in Africa for the next 6 months.

Thats the plan, but these things have a habit of changing....

Clearly, you do not have enough watches. Feed your habit, buy more. Obsessions are good.
