I have seen what a watch horder looks like and I don't think even Oscar has it that bad! ( I haven't seen any Group shots showing the living room full from floor to ceiling anyway)
I think most of us don't really fall into any one category, I buy watches for lots of different reasons from "there was 30 seconds left on ebay and I was bored" (I surf the "ending today" list frequently just to scare people ;)) to "your collection isn't complete without one" (I discovered my collection is just fine without a Monster in it ;))
I am often torn between what I want and what is offered, I want day/date watches but Omega doesn't offer a Seamaster with day/date, it didn't stop me from buying a Seamaster and won't stop me from buying another but even the Seamaster gets put down for the new cool day/date watch when it comes in.
I hate selling watches though, so that makes me a bit of a hoarder but I only have a hundred or so watches so I don't qualify by volume.
I buy watches just to put them in my display cases so I am not much of an enthusiast.
I guess that makes me a collector but my tastes are usually not very sophisticatedrev_smile.gif
I still admire the high end hand made pieces from basel but they are like beach front property in Hawaii, I only pay attention to what is within my reach!
