Three short but intense years into affordable watches, no industry badge, just my own money and a bank account that's mildly concerned. I keep my collection at eight or nine pieces via a one-in, one-out rule I honor about 80% of the time. Blessed (cursed?) with a 6.5-inch wrist, so I have opinions about what really "wears small."
