We see plenty of nice pictures of watch collections, but I was wondering how many of you keep a database of some sort of the watches that you own or have owned. If so, mind sharing what data you collect and how you organize it?

I keep simple things like as many measurements as possible, purchase price, date and seller, selling date and price. Maybe some other stuff for future reference like OEM strap part numbers and battery numbers.
I keep the data in a simple Excel spreadsheet that I recently moved over to google docs so that I can reference from anywhere, including my phone. You never know when you'll need to know the crystal diameter of a Seiko Monster. ;D
I started to keep the data to help me find reference for sizes of watches since most purchases are made from pictures on the internet. The information is also helpful in writing the reviews and sharing with others. I've also been able to use the data as a budget tool just to monitor my spending (and selling) over time.
