Do you love watches? Is there a moment where you feel nude when you don't wear a watch? I would consider you a watch fanatic. In fact, I would venture to think that you have more than five watches? If the answer is yes, I consider you a watch collector as well. Being a watch collector does not mean that you have to buy the most expensive watch neither top recognized brands. If you care about any watch that you have in your collection and keep the watch protected in a jewelry box, you are a collector.

Like I said, owning a series of watches and becoming a collector does not mean you have to go in debt trying. In fact, most of my watches in my collections are gifts from those who know that I collect watches. Watches are one of the easiest gifts anyone can get me. I appreciate all watches, name brands and priced watches. If there is a particular brand that you love and always look to buy, try finding the best price for it. I recommend also buying watches when the season is over for that model. You will find it cheaper six months after when it was released.

How to Wear Your Watch

Do you have watches to fit most of your outfits? I personally like to mix and match my watch depending on what I am wearing. Here is my recommended watch wear preferences:

  • Dinner - Casual watch, gold or silver depending on colors
  • Sports - Plastic durable watch, preferable sports watch such as (Nike, Adidas, Heart Rate Monitored)
  • Everyday - Leather band watch

 

No matter what type of watch that you own, never throw it out. If the battery has stopped, it is safer to remove the battery to prevent corrosion of the battery. If the battery becomes corrupted it has no value at all and will be unusable.  In the future, all watches have a value and as a collector it is best to keep your watch in great shape and form. Buying a watch case or box is highly recommended and if that is too expensive, try purchasing a plastic storage container with compartments. When the time has come, you have to think of your watch as an entity and use the value and worth to sell it to another owner. Reap the benefits while you can or pass it down in your family.

 

I am an avid collector of watches since a pre-teen and I have never looked back. I have created a watch blog about watch collecting and hope to share my experience, watch collection and free watch appraisal at the club.
