+1. Besides, I am a one watch guy and even I have two watches - One daily wearer to wear everywhere doing everything and then one nice watch to wear to dinners, on weekends, special occassions, etc. The 6263 is in the second category and I would NOT have it as a daily wear watch, so you will always needs that second, every day piece.

I say go for it.
Just don't rush the sale of your other watches because you want to get as much as possible for them. Easier to quick sell them to a dealer but you will take a huge hit. Goodluck my friend. Look forward to the wristshots. |

Yes, but I would keep the snowflake as a daily beater.

I would definitely do it. What a watch! And I don't see that watch getting any cheaper!

I would keep the Snowflake and the SS DJ. Then save while you are selling the other five (which will take some time). You will wind up with a great collection of three, with litle or no duplication of purpose.

I think you should do it if the one you are going for is in really good shape. You can replace those you have now if you need to later.

The snowlfake and the daytona will be the hardest to part with.

I would do it. You could always replace the others. A 6263 doesn't come by very often.

I would keep the Tudor with faded insert, the rest you can buy again easily enough if you miss them.

Yeah .... Well- I'd keep one of them as your everyday so the 6263 was special.. The one you keep is the bigger question I think

I had a 6263 for a few years. In the beginning I would wear it like any other watch I wore. But then I dinged the bezel. I was very lucky to be able to replace it with a new old stock bezel but at steep cost. Then some dials came loose. Dinged it again and a crystal had to be replaced, etc. etc....
The the prices went through the roof and I grew more and more uncomfortable to wear it and was afraid to damage it again. It was not a tool watch anymore because it was soooo expensive now. People would also start to notice the watch and freak out. For me that was way too much attention. I sold it and wore my quite similar looking Tudor Prince Date Chrono instead (which by the way never broke and runs within COS specs.) The only watch I REALY regret ever selling was my Sub 5508. That was plain stupid. But everybody has their own grail.... |

I would do it! But I´m a HUGE fan of the 6263. Especially black on black.

I'd have a tough time with the Daytona, but the end result is a beauty!

So you would wear the 6263 everyday?
Parts are expensive and harder and harder to find...unless money is no object, doesn't seem like a good idea to be the only watch. |

Consolidate. While you still can.
It'll seem a great deal in a couple of years time. |

If I were you, I would let some of the pieces go. Keep one or two you enjoyed most from this collection, save more, shoot for a 6263. Now hunting a 6263 will be a bit of a challenge in today's market.
