Incoming - 118238 - Collection Consolidation

I’ve been doing some consolidation in my collection lately. Too many watches and some just weren’t getting worn, which I don’t like. With my Rolex watches, I’ve decided to consolidate down to my BLRO and two Day-Dates (one WG and one YG). I also have a few Omegas in the rotation (PO, Speedy, and a couple Seamasters).

My 118238 arrived today to complete my consolidation. Good complement to my 18239. My BLRO remains my one sport model Rolex, but I have those covered pretty well by my Omegas from my perspective.

A handsome collection. Between your Omegas and your Rolexes, you've certainly covered the bases. Which references/models did you purge?

I sold off a Hulk, 114060, and Coke bezel GMT to go down to one sport Rolex (my remaining Pepsi GMT). Also, sold a 126331. What I have remaining will get plenty of wrist time now.

I'd have sold those very references if that were my collection and I were trimming it back. Great choices on your "keepers" -- gorgeous.
