3.

My Sub, a Bulova Marine Star (not allowed to wear the Rollie to work), and a 60's vintage pocket watch given to me by my father.

I work the line at a maximum security prison. We're not allowed to wear any "bling" - there are any number of reasons why wearing valuable or tempting accoutrements is not advisable.

I voted 5, but I have 2 others that I need to get fixed (a vintage 30s-40s Longines and a cheap manual wind Gervais-Penard, which I've never heard of before). The 5 are: a Rolex GMT 1675, a vintage 60's Omega Constellation, a Fossil blue AM-3059, a run of the mill digital Timex and the newest to my "collection", a Citizen Eco-drive 2100, courtesy of my sweetie for Valentine's Day.

I wear the Rollie every day, but for some reason right now, I am wearing the Fossil. Just nostalgia, I guess, since it was my one and only watch for almost 10 years.

Sorry - that was me, maybe I misunderstood the question because if it is high-end(ish) watches only then my number is much less .
