That is a stupid game because I know that I will regret whatever I choose... Just a question of timing...That sucks...

Last move will be to flip the coin...
BTW, The story doesn't tell me when exactly ...馃榿

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

I'd rather have random strangers on the internet pick one than my GF 馃槈馃槈馃榿

my "algorithm" would be:

sort watches in function of "how difficult would it be to resource the same watch in the same/better condition" ...

and then I'd start selling from the bottom ;-)

I would keep the Connie, it seems like a mine field to try to find one these days with all the over polished franken jobs out there. If you have a good one, hang onto it.

Though I know it is the minority opinion, I am not a lover of the "triple date" complication. It is impressive with its many functions and utility, but I cannot help but feel it clutters the dial with so many windows and extra hands.

Again, this is my personal feeling and I'm sure most will think I am losing my marbles to say such a thing.

Good luck to you as it will certainly not be an easy choice. My last piece of advice is to select what would make you happier than your current pieces, if it were added to your collection. Is there a chrono you would rather have than the Wakmann? If so maybe you can do a "swap."

Based on all the feedback, the wakmann should be the final decision... I have the other Chrono with is a stunner on.the wrist and I think I could probably find another reverse panda wakmann later... The only thing is that I was lucky enough to find it in stunning condition and the last one I saw for sale was not in very good shape... But anyway I have to choose...

And the Connie is outrageously gorgeous...

I think this is almost done... I Will think a little more but I don't see any other choice...

This is not really a for sale post so I will think about it later I guess. This is a Valjoux 730 at 21600 A/h.

I still stand firmly by my advice to you in my previous post. Hope you listen. 馃榾

That was my thought as well.

good point... 馃榾 To be fair I already tried to suggest her a possible change in the watches I have.. and she just aswered 'I don't care but you will not sell my Watch right? ...' ... no no ...馃槵

Give the girlfriend the boot and keep all of the watches. You'll actually have funds for another watch in a month or so 馃榾
