Down to these 4 plus an sd4k and a jlc geophysic true second.



Now if only I could get a Daytona c in white...
Would you consider a silver snoopy as a viable alternative?

Hey lovely collection. I love seeing the evolution. You've been brave and bold and ended up doing very well.

I would agree that a Chrono would be a nice addition. Since you have a nice Rolex, I would say a Speedmaster will fit in well.

I wish I can take my collection down to 5. I plan to add a 5196 like the one you had but can't seem to decide what to get rid of!

Nice! Couldn't have done much better than this

I would keep the Aquanaut, Lange and BLNR, the others can go IMHO, but you can keep the other PP if you want to keep a pure dress watch, but I wouldn't...

Ok,I just saw this was an old thread, I really like the 4 you put on pics, really cool 4 pieces, and the SD4K is cool, For me this would make a very cool quintet, not a big fan of this particular JLC, but if you like it, why not, in any case what you have now is way better than what you had when you started this thread...

Wow - love the evolution and kind of reignites my love for a 5164

[osamu]

wow quite the flip going on here, but all great great watches. I would have had such a hard time letting go of some of the pieces you've owned, but what you ended up with is awesome, I would be happy with just the two on the right.

[Mikelikslurpee]

Lost the 5711 but added these two:





Very happy with the outcome!

A terrific collection. I find the Zenith too busy. My wrist is too small for big PAMs, but your mileage may vary. Tag must be kept, can't sell gifts. I love my Tudor BB. I love Patek. First world problems!

[AK797]

Great 4 you have now! Got a group pic?

[GB-man]

You have great taste! Well done.

except the Calatrava.

Beautiful collection

[andycoulson1.ac]

Firstly, that is a beautiful collection!

If pressed to trim the collection, I would consider losing the Nomos as I can't imaging a time I would fancy wearing that but wouldn't want to strap on the PP Calatrava more... I would probably feel the same about the Tudor and Rolex. And I see the Tag and Zenith into he same light, but sentiment is the most important thing here so maybe sell the Zenith? Last but not least, I've never seen the appeal of a PAM and can't imagine a situation where I would wear that over one of your other beautiful pieces...

Just my humble opinion ☺

Post. 71 is his current state of the collection

[lapince]

I really love the 4 in the box, an AP ROO would be a great addition, other than that perfect

[Mikelikslurpee]

Still very happy with this one.

What do you guys think of adding a lange1 in wg?
This is the new one with the updated movement in midnight quick change date.

Well if you love the Lange one go ahead but I am not a big fan, what you already have is amazing, when you started the post you had a very common collection, now you have an amazing one, you don't need to add anything really, but an AP would be a great add to an already stunning collection

Thanks for the input!
At first I wasn't a fan either; it grows on you after trying it on and off.

Well you seem to like more dress watches than I do, so why not, for me what you have is perfect no need to add anything except as I said some luxury sport watch like a RM or an AP ROO.

By the way do you still have the 5711 or did you let it go when you got the 5712? I love the 5712, it's my facorite but am also adding a 5711 at the end of the month, Nautilus is my favorite watch on bracelet design, so thought why not have both, at 45 my eye sight is dropping, even if it is still very good, but the date on the 5712 is not easy to read, so in a few years I think the 5711 will be better for that, even if you can always have the date on your telephone

[osamu]

I keep thinking your collection is perfect, then you go and change it, and then I think your new collection is perfect, then you go and change it, then well, it's perfect again.

Unfortunately the 5711 had to go to fund the 5712.
That is true; with those things in mind the 5711 would be a better bet. So hard to buy at retail these days though...
