For me

Out would be the Grand Seiko on bracelet, GMT Master LN, Omega, and JLC.

Incoming would be the PP5711, + SS BLRO and/or 116500-white

I would sell everything in your watch box that I needed to, except the LVc, DaytonaC, SkyD in order to help me get the 4 of the wait list watches.

Sell the rest, get the four options you chose. Then flip the 5711 and get a blnr or sub ln and call it a day

I'd go with Patek. All the Rolexes you are on a list for you have different versions of already. But if you were to sell anything to acquire the Patek and another I'd get the TT GMT. All your pieces (I believe) are SS so having some metal variety would be nice. And until we get reports of the Pepsi bezel from people seeing it in person I'd hold off. If it's like the BLRO that's an easy pass for me. Not just because they aren't perfect red and blue, but I don't really care for the pastel looking colors.

I doubt they'll all be arriving at the same time, so you'll have to make each decision as they come. You can't go back if you decline one, and that puts you in a position where you don't even know if or when the next one on your list arrives.

Having said that: PP, Daytona, Pepsi (I like the root beer too but I'm trying not to do the go all-in thing)

Lol. A lot of scorched earth recommendations for the current collection. Not sure I am willing to go that far for these models.

I guess maybe fate will decide this one as a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. As some of you have said, it would be pretty foolish to turn down any of these on the assumption the others are on their way since that is not guaranteed.

I’ll keep you all posted on which of “the calls” I get first.

I would do whatever it took to get the 5711. Everything else is icing on the cake. Good luck

Rashid.bk · 30 March 2018, 07:00 AM

The Patek for sure. You need that in your collection. I wouldn't purchase based on the "new hotness", but on what you really like.
I'd then add the Daytona in white. I'd make a list in priority...which calls first and or which do you want more regardless of first calls. you may get the call for that Daytona and two weeks later get the call for the Patek. It would really suck to have to turn that down.

If it were me, the Patek would be first and no matter what I'd hold out for it, then Daytona then the GMTs. I'd also definitely do a fire sale on my collection to make room. While I like what I may have, I'll love what I will get. I'd start prepping my funds asap, the call for a 5711 or Daytona won't happen often, you need to be ready asap.

If I wake up in the morning in your situation I know what I would do.
Keep the Omega moon watch, the skx and all the Rolexes and sell everything else.
Buy everyone of those waitlist watches that come your way, firstly as that would make a great collection and secondly because if need be you would make money having them.
