I have Consolidated my Collection down to 3

As of right now I have sold off all of the watches that I dont wear all that often in order to consolidate down to the 3 that I love the most for now.



First is a 2003 F-Serial thin lug with holes, 14060M which has been upgraded with a glidelock clasp for comfort.





Second, is a 1997 Transitional 861 movement Speedmaster Professional manual wind, with Tritium dial and the uncommon 1499 bracelet. Beautiful creamy patina.





And last is a 2016 Nomos World Timer in blue. Such a fun and elegant piece but utilitarian at the same time.

Great choices! I went down to 3 also. If you want to wear them all regularly 3 is a perfect number!!

Beautiful collection. I also have the same Sub, never thought about upgrading to the Glidelock, great idea. All the watches look awesome but the Speedy is to die for!

Congrats on what was probably a difficult task. How many watches did you end up selling ?

I consolidated from 6 down to 4 a couple of years ago. Best move of my WIS career.

I like the Nomos, and the simplicity of a 3-watch collection, well done there

I sold 6 others. I think my next venture will be a Royal Oak or Aquanaut. Not sure yet. I need to try them on to see if I like them.

Nicely done. I'm trying to find that magic number myself.

Not having a whole lot of luck, though.
