The leather part makes me think Sigmund.

If you like them all, which is a happy situation;

don't sell just now and save up for the 5711.

[Vaxe]

I would keep in this order:
1815
BLNR
1969 El Primero
Radiomir
Black Bay

and sell the rest for the 5711 you want.

[Peterandwatches]

I built my small collection around a Chrono, Diver, GMT and the a couple dress watches, and one high end piece. If you want to shrink it down, figure out the collection parameters first.

Great taste by the way. We have similar pieces, but I flipped my Zenith 1969 for a Speedmaster.

[toneafficianado]

BLNR and the Lange would do it all for me.

[osamu]

wow tough one, great collection. I can't imagine getting rid of either of the Pateks, but those might be repetitive in your collection, especially if adding the 5711.

I would keep one each of the following:
ALS, Caltrava, or Nomos = ALS
Tudor BB or BLNR = I can't choose, seemed like you wanted to keep the BB.
5167 or Pam = 5167
Tag or Zenith = You said the Tag had to stay, so Tag.

Although if you add the 5711, I can't fault you for losing the 5167, and maybe keep the Zenith or BLNR instead.

Just updating the thread.
Made some sacrifices and some tough decisions; some i regret but here we are.

Thanks trf!

[lapince]

Tag, Nomos, Tudor, Panerai and Zenith, keep the rest and add the 5711, and an AP diver…

oh just saw your pic before my post, I would've done a few things differently like I just wrote but the important you have a 15202, the Lange and the 5167, don't really care about the rest, so congrats

[CWIN]

Sell everything. Buy a 15202, 5712, and an 1815 Chrono…

You're welcome.



EDIT: Just saw the update photo. Kudos to adding the Jumbo. I'm itching for one. My advice above still stands though =P

[subtona]

Congrats on the jumbo.

What usually ends up in the case is the pam and the zenith.

My ultimate rotation would be a diver, a dress watch, dress with complication, a chronograph, and 2 beater sports watches.
Its really hard to be objective and trim down; since i really like all of them.

Sounds like you have your bases covered from your current collection:

Dress - 5196
Dress with complication - 1815 up/down (btw if you bung it on a brown strap it dresses down very nicely)
Chrono - Zenith
Diver/beater - Tudor BB
GMT/beater - BLNR
Sentimental - Tag

I guess the Nomos and Pam can go - and maybe create a new category for the 5711? :)

Edit - just saw the Jumbo addition - congrats!

I would keep the lange and sell the rest. Perfect duo with 5711

[andyuan7]

1815 chrono might be a good choice but 5711 would also give different style to the collection
great collection btw buddy, all timeless pieces, keep that up/down lol

[RUK]

Sell the 5167 and Panerai for a 5711. DOnt see why you will want a 5167 and a 5711. The Tudor on the cloth strap can do the same job as a aquanaut.

Would also consider selling the Zenith and Nomos if you dont wear them, then you'll have a manageable number.

[AK797]

Congrats, nice collection! I'd still try to add a Nautilus.

[Mikelikslurpee]

updating the thread; lost the zenith, calatrava and pam got a 15202, stowa flieger watch time and a seiko.
back where i began

The collection is starting to take shape there :)

[Bgator]

Keep the Nomos, ALS and the BLNR.

I would have kept the PAM too.

The first row is awesome. I'd consolidate the watches in the back row for a piece in ROSE gold , IMHO 😄

Maybe a RG Daytona?

[osamu]

the bottom 3.... perfect set.

[kiev2]

To fund the 5711, the quickest option is to sell the Calatrava.

[Cru Jones]

i would stay with the 6 you have now and forget the 5711 (or keep the 6 and add the 7th).

oh, and i'd get back that PAM, too. fits your collection well.

[Mikelikslurpee]

Happy new year and much love trf!

Updating this thread.
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?

I definitely like the changes youve made! I think the sd4k and white ceramic Daytona would work well. As for the jlc geophysic true second, I'd skip that and get a reverso instead

Thank you my friend!
I actually plan to dispose the jlc for a Daytona c or a perpetual steel in black still on the fence. Need a complication in my life.
Congratulation on the date graph hope to own one myself at some point.
