I have to choose... And need your thoughts

    Hi everyone...

    After one year of complete shut down on watches due to personal reason, I was hungry to enjoy again the hunt and the find of great pieces.
    But it looks like I suffered from the compulsive 'buy and think later' fever...
    Now I need to take a breath and think about what should stay and what should leave ( because unfortunately I was a little optimistic to be able to keep them all...)

    The problem is that I managed to have difference type of watch, so the choice becomes quite hard as they are all different and very nice... So Here it is...

    And the 6th currently at the spa...

    So there is Chronos,(triple date reverse panda, 1940 black dial 2 register), diver (SM300,5513) and dress Watch (datejust, pink gold Connie)...

    So assuming that I would need to let one or maybe 2 to go, which one would you advice me to keep for sure...?
    ( I already made the exercise several time, but the conclusion is always the same... Keep them all... But I can't)...

    Thanks for your help...

    The SM300 has to stay - If the 5513 is an original dial then I would keep that also. Datejust would be my No.1 choice to go

    I would personally also let the Datejust go.

    Ok, That was my first choice as well. But that is a little bit complicated, because...lets say...This one is the only one 'share' with my girl...

    OK: imagine that you have sold them all (apart from that one then).
    Over which one will you lay 'eyes wide open' at night? Crying in silence maybe?:(:confused: Even angry you sold? :mad::mad:

    Try this for a month or so and you will have your shortlist. ::stirthepot::

    Good Luck!

    Keep the Seamaster and the Rolex then let you GF pick one. Anything else can go.

    Dibs on the Connie!!

    I know, that is bad, kicking a guy in the gutter :whipped:

    Edit: btw, you realise that if you keep the 2 R's and just one Omega, you all of a sudden are a R-collector.
    Think of that!!!

    If you must let one go, the Wakmann (sp?)
    If you must let two go, the Wakmann and the sub (you already have the best diver in the sm300).
    This was easy, wasn't it? :)

    Hmm, for me I'd keep the Sub, the Connie and the panda chrono Wakmann.

    That way you've have a diver (on bracelet), a dress watch, and a chrono. Almost all bases are covered.

    And I agree the DJ is the first to get voted off for me too!

    Your asking the worst crew of guys for advice on selling.

    Notice the connie was the first watch dibsed ( something in that :whistling: )

    Look around the house there is other stuff to sell ;)
