I would hate to sell any of the three watches you mentioned. The new SD's are comparatively reasonable right now with the SS case bodies. They look great and costing less than half of the solid gold SD you can have your cake and eat it too. I"m not too impressed with a completely solid gold watch any more. Go for the movement not the glitter in my humble opinion. Good Luck!

What other watches do you have in your collection, maybe we can help more if we know!
getting rid of the Omega and Breitling is a great idea, but the BLNR and 116520 are too good to let go....
I'm not a big fan of the SkyD, but you are right you have to have Gold in your collection!

I don't think they look very similar and the size will be very different, but if you feel that way after trying on then the gold is the way to go.

Need some sensible Input

I prefer variation in brand and style and I like both the Omega and breitling you've got, but if you don't wear them then I'd move them on. Personally I'd love that Omega you've got!

Yeah there is always that.

I am also contemplating selling just my 116520 and Breitling Navitimer 01 and getting a 116515LN

This way Id have a 116710blnr/116613lb/116610lv/116660/16520 zenith and lastly a precious metal 116515ln

Seriously this thing is driving me crazy

From what you said, you should keep the GMT.
But then again, we wear watches for something other than function (unless you are a diver and are underwater and need data that your smartphone up in the boat cannot provide), so buy the watch that you love to wear

Good advice, but Probably made the decision already. (2017)

They’re just watches. Don’t overthink it. Follow your heart.
(Only to realize I just got sucked into a 4 year old thread.)
