Thinking about going down to these 4 pieces




I’m thinking that these 4 have me covered. I have other njce pieces from a variety of others. Maybe I’ll keep a speedy also as that would be an icon too (sub is an icon, president is an icon, speedy is, and so are g shock and the Apple). Thanks for the suggestions and comments.

Not my cup of tea and would be interested to know what else you have, but if those suit you and your lifestyle and preferences that’s all that really matters

Enjoy wearing the smaller collection instead of enjoying owning a larger collection.

The two Rolex watches for sure plus the G Shock,so for me you could make it a three watch collection but it would be interesting to know what else you are ruling out.

I really like your choices from Rolex. The G-Shock, it is ok I guess. The Apple watch is not for me and I can not see a situation that I would wear that over the others.

this. And you might consider a rolex that is a little more under the radar (SS sub, Exp, or....?)

Really, OP could go down to just the DD and be fine.

his DD is WG, it's as under the radar as any of the pieces you mention imo

if he's in danger of being robbed of his DD, he's in danger of being robbed of his SS sub, and that's where the ugliest watch ever made comes in (G Shock)

The Apple watch will need to be replaced anyway as the tech changes so it is continually in flux and should not be in the group.

Nice watches. I especially like the President.

I would not consider g shocks (or Apple) watches part of a collection with your pricier Rolexes.

Financially, the plastic watches are inconsequential in comparison.

I would add a GMT or Daytona if you like those pieces.

Trade the TT for an all SS sub or sub date.
Trade the G-Shock GW6900 for a GW5000.

If the G-shock counts, the Apple Watch should count. And what’s with all the Apple Watch hate? I have one, and would bet that a lot of us do.
OP, nice collection! I agree that you should keep a Speedy. I’d prefer a black Sub, but that’s me. Your TT is lovely.

G shock is not designed to be obsolete. I like an apple watch for work and fitness tracking. Its not that its bad, its the fact that its a disposable piece of tech.

I love my Apple Watch Ultra. Not sure why its getting hate.

I think that's a solid collection. Only thing I might add is a chrono.
