Can't seem to flip anymore...

At first this might sound good but I haven't been able to stop the incomings. I used to be able to try some watches and move on but now I'm having a hard time letting go of some even if I don't really wear them. Any advice on how to overcome this and figure out what in your collection should move on?

Would a limit of 35 watches be too much?

You’re going to need a bigger watch roll.

The one in one out strategy is a good one and you might want to limit yourself to a budget of the price you sold the one out.

This strategy failed for me and I have a 17 watch collection which was supposed to stop at 16 but have a few on sale!
