This idea has been on my mind for quite a while now, I have over the years made myself a nice collection of watches.
However I have yet to tread into the realm of precious metals. To tell you the truth the day date 40 platinum diagonal motif has been on my mind for a while.

As I have promised my self not to spend any more money on any more watches I my only alternative is to part with a few of my prized possessions

Has any one done this ? Is it better to have a single “super watch” rather than a few nice ones ? Is it practical? Did anyone of you guys do this and subsequently regret it ?

envuks · 4 December 2018, 08:00 AM

Having a PM piece, I find it important to have at least one SS piece to rotate to.

The pt day date is a fantastic piece though

I’ve consolidated for PM, but never where it was down to a one and only. I would have to at least have one SS Rolex....JMO. It is a beautiful watch, but I’d want to keep one of the others as well, the LV would be my choice out of your collection.

I do have my black ceramic Daytona that I am not planning to sell

If you’re good with two.....that’s an excellent duo!

Good to go then in my opinion. They would make a nice duo.

Jason71 · 4 December 2018, 08:40 AM

Personally, I would do it. The only one I would be hesitant to sell/trade is the 16710 BLRO. That is the only one that would be a little harder to replace, but still not impossible. All the rest would be good to go. Platinum is like nothing else......it’s AWESOME..........Coming from someone with a Platinum Daytona.

peterpl · 4 December 2018, 08:45 AM

Yes I would do that for sure. You get to a point where it becomes quality outweighs quantity.

Not much can beat a Plat DD40 - one of the heaviest hitters in the watch game.

WatchLurv · 4 December 2018, 08:45 AM

You know that Platinum DD is one heavy beast? Comparatively to all your other watches I dont think it'd be super comfortable in the long run as a daily. You need something to offload your wrist from when wearing heavy pieces. Personally I dont wear anything almost Mon-Fri and then get on a heavy piece for the weekend.

hodie9 · 4 December 2018, 08:49 AM

That’s my favorite DD of all. I would do that for sure.

wisguy · 4 December 2018, 08:50 AM

I would!

In that case then yes, in a heart bear.

That would be ideal. Then maybe add another SS for good measure later on. In a few months maybe.

zjd168 · 4 December 2018, 08:59 AM

Keep the HULK and Pepsi if I were you.

utc66 · 4 December 2018, 09:04 AM

I would rather have 2 super nice watches than six. But won't those Panerai really take a beating on resale?

Boaters · 4 December 2018, 09:06 AM

Why not just remember PT is heavy.

jeffnnj · 4 December 2018, 09:09 AM

Nope. No regrets at all.

My vote is go for it. If you are not opposed to pre-owned, that would be the best route. It may be easier to replace any one of the six at a later date or you miss it.

Michigan_State · 4 December 2018, 09:15 AM

Hmm, 5 or 6 down to 1 is tough, but the DD is very nice, no doubt. I‘ve consolidated and expanded and consolidated and... that‘s the hobby, go for it!

vman · 4 December 2018, 09:18 AM

Do it. No point in having too many watches.

Malibuboy · 4 December 2018, 09:24 AM

Do it!

The 228206 amazes me. What a choice!

GO FOR IT!

Dompropat · 4 December 2018, 09:25 AM

Yes yes yes! Would be perfect with the Daytona.

liu_watch · 4 December 2018, 09:25 AM

A platinum on bracelet will be quite a heavy watch to wear as a daily. Have you tried it on? Otherwise a Daytona and a DD will make a good two-watch Rolex collection.

Rolex.c6 · 4 December 2018, 09:32 AM

The pt DD with a Daytona C sounds perfect!

Largoshark · 4 December 2018, 09:40 AM

I say do it!

Side note - has anyone else noticed a pattern of these "consolidating entire collection to one piece" threads over the past few days? Coincidence?

sensui · 4 December 2018, 09:43 AM

This doesn't sound like a bad idea to be honest.

watchwatcher · 4 December 2018, 09:54 AM

Hmm...tough one. I say go for it, but I wouldn't let the Pepsi go, my two cents.

If you're scraping that hard, then don't do it.

I’d keep the Pepsi as well.

crazycarlitos · 4 December 2018, 10:01 AM

No way in hell. Lol

Keep the ones u like. Sell the ones u don’t
But don’t get rid of all ur watches for one watch, pm or not.

Jonnyj · 4 December 2018, 10:01 AM
