Which Daytona's hit the road...
Thinking about parting ways with 2 of the Daytona's to diversify the collection a bit and add a Patek.
As special as the 509 blue dial is, it's a bit redundant in the collection of blue dials, so I think that is likely one of them. As for trying to decide between the white dial and the oysteflex, that's a tough one... |

Fantastic collection. Good luck making the decision. I'd personally keep all of those Daytona's.

I'd keep every single Daytona and get rid of all the other "stuff".

I would sell the oyster flex , and the one (or two) you like the least out of the SD, DSSD and milgauss. Maybe the FXD as well.

Steel white dial and oyster flex would be the two I would get rid of.

Frankly, I d sell everything you have except for the three Daytonas and add the Patek. Those Daytonas are great. No way would I let the other John Mayer Daytona go...

Easy decision, keep the daytona’s and sky-dweller and toss the others to go toward the patek…

Like mentioned above, get rid of the Panda. Too much hype and there's a ton of replicas of it.

Sell the Milgaus and the DSSD. I have a rule. Don’t ever sell a Daytona. If you must the blue is the one to go.
I’m assuming you have the 116518 and if that’s the case that and the panda will be almost impossible to replace at retail the 2 I chose above are easy to get back if you miss them. I’d sell everything and keep the Daytonas and skyDs if that works. Read my name. This is the only way. The king has spoken. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you have to consolidate, I would keep the two PM Daytonas, and instead move the SS Daytona, Milgauss and Tudor towards your next watch.

I’d keep the Oysterflex variant. Very cool and adds some variety to it all.

Keep the SkyD and Oysterflex Daytona. Sell all the other stuff including the SS Daytona whilst it is still hot

I would keep the Daytona's and Deepsea. Next keep the skydweller. The rest can definitely go.

White is further from black and rose gold is from black, so maximising the dial-diversity suggests keeping the SS Daytona.
But ... getting rid of any of those Daytonas is a Crime Against Horology. Don't visit The Hague anytime soon ... |

I'd move the IWC, the Milguass, and the blue dial 509. If it takes more than that, I wouldn't do it.

Which Daytona sees the most wrist time? Don't let that one go as that's the one you'll miss and want it back.
IMHO and if I needed to make the decision, the blue dial Daytona would stay and the Milgauss, DSSD, IWC and Tudor would be sold as this would give the best versatility. The collection would have a white dial on the steel Daytona, a blue dial on a PM Daytona and a black dial on the Sky Dweller. Now I'd use the funds to get a rose or yellow gold Patek to cover all the bases!
