Too redundant?

Ok, so here’s my dilemma: my collection is diver heavy. I have a vintage (but fully restored) Seamaster that was passed down from my Dad, and I will never sell. It’s pressure tested and frankly does everything I need the Sub for. I find myself wearing the Seamaster the most. On the flip side, there’s nothing quite like a 5 digit Sub…it’s a classic. But, is it redundant to have two similar watches in the collection? Selling the Sub would free up funds for another purchase (thinking hard about a white dial Speedy)

Accept that you are a diver man, otherwise you would not have all them. Do you really want a chrono?
Also, you only have one no date!

How dare you call two divers redundant. Personally, I think it's ok to have at least eight Subs plus seven 62mas's plus nine challenge divers ... plus dozens of other divers. 🙄

Tough decision, but I would rather slowly save for the white dial Speedy. I think in the long run you would regret selling your Rolex even though it's redundant dive watch.

You’re asking people on the Omega Forums about a matter of excess when it comes to watch collecting?

Ha! So true. Should have remembered my audience 😀

Please adjust the bezel on that Seamaster! 😀 I think you have two great divers there and wouldn't part with the Sub.

Like a lot of the members here, I’m the wrong guy to ask. I’m mostly a chronograph guy, but I have multiple divers and don’t necessarily see them as redundant. If I were you, I’d keep the no-date Sub … it’s a classic.

Everyone else in the world: “it looks like you have two of the same watch.”

People here: “have you thought about adding a Fifty Fathoms?”

Do not seek the counsel of restraint here. It has forsaken these lands.

It's only redundant if you think it is.
If you don't think it is, then it isn't.

Keep the Sub, it's the definitive watch in the diver genre. No duplication that I can see, they both stand on their own.

I thought I was going to scroll down and see 25 dive watches. Two isn’t redundancy, it’s far too few!

Here are the others! (With the exception of that HODINKEE special on the end 😀)

Please, for the love of all things holy, keep both of those and add the white Speedy when you are ready (and I’m wearing a white Speedy now).

Great thread title, BTW. "Too redundant" is itself redundant, brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department. Similar to "very unique".

(Sorry, but I'm a teacher, which means I can be a pedantic jerk. But I repeat myself.)

Oh, and I agree that you need way more divers.

You said out loud what many of us were thinking. 👍
