Just bored and thinking out loud. Pictures seemed more fun.
So, what would you do....???

My State of the Collection
16610, 116610lv, 79220r, pam 232 - aka the keepers
116520, 214270, pam 111g - aka the sacrifices

Option 1.

Option 2.

Option 3.

Option 4.

Option 5.

Option 6.
I'm open to more options that involve the "sacrifices" and a up to 4k cash. YG is not considered as of now. Non-Rolex suggestions allowed also.

I would pick four you move two very nice watches for one super watch and don't bring any cash to the table.

jjnd08 · 20 March 2015, 11:37 AM

This must have taken a lot of time!

Option 4 for me. Don't trade the Daytona!

It looks like you want to get rid of the Exp!

Ruud Van Driver · 20 March 2015, 11:38 AM

Option 4. No way would I trade the Daytona.

Ruud Van Driver · 20 March 2015, 11:40 AM

What about option 1, but keep the Daytona and move the Tudor?

That would be nice if the Tudor was worth 10,000!

It was more fun this way.

The "sacrifices" are all nice, just don't get enough wrist time.

Also, for anyone thinking this, this post is not a shill to sell my watches. I plan on consigning my watches with a dealer. I'm not up for private sales.

If they aren't getting wrist time, let them go.

Frogman4me · 20 March 2015, 11:40 AM

Option 3 or 4 for me.

Get that Smurf.

SwissFan99 · 20 March 2015, 11:42 AM

Option 4

fania123 · 20 March 2015, 11:42 AM

Option 2, because I did it and still have no regrets

rangercadre · 20 March 2015, 11:43 AM

sell 116520, 214270, pam 111g and get an AP ROO. you need some diversity of brands.

Nice option 6. While the ROO is beautiful, don't think it fits my 6.5" wrist. The 232 is the limit for me. It works because of the wire lugs and thinness of the watch. I'm open to other options. I had been considering a 15300, but the bezel scratch magnet concerns me.

B.B.B. · 20 March 2015, 11:46 AM

Seems your about to let go the pam

I don't like to say never, but the 232 is not going anywhere. Probable my favorite watch.

sixfignig · 20 March 2015, 11:53 AM

I'd go with option 4

AF_Rob · 20 March 2015, 11:56 AM

To me option one would streamline the collection nicely with a top end piece keeping a nice diving theme.

watchwatcher · 20 March 2015, 12:04 PM

Mik,
I voted for option 1 b/c my thought is for you're going through all the trouble to make a move, you need to come out of it with something really special...however, to be honest you have a spectacular collection. If not doing anything and just enjoying your SOTC was an option, I would have voted for that.

I have actually thought about just logging off from the forums for a bit and be happy with what I have. To be honest, I can't believe at times I have amassed such a collection. If you would have told me 7 years ago, I'd have 7 stellar watches like this, I would have told you no way. That first $5,000 on the 16610 was hard to spend. But since then......well, it gets easier!

Letting the crack dealer to give you the first taste is hard, after that the rest is easy.

Option 4

Though - I think you should try a vintage character watch. If after 6 months you are not head over heels (you will be) then you'll most likely make most of your money back.

Yeah, I have a friend who is into high end vintage. They are amazing, but I'm a little OCD. I'd be so scared of flaking, dial damage, etc. If there would be a flaw in the dial or hands, I'd focus on it. If I'd get a vintage, I'd have to get a top top top condition one to make my OCD at ease. Then, it would probable be so nice, I'd be scared to wear it.

You have a great collection. Can't go wrong no matter what you pick. I like option 1 & 3. Best of luck to you!

Without me taking into account any indication of what gets wrist time or not, I think you have an amazing collection and "in paper" I wouldn't change a thing (except maybe add more and more and more)

Now, taking into account what gets wrist time and what doesn't, I would go with option 4

mfer · 20 March 2015, 12:18 PM

Just for what I'm into, other watches I've been pondering....(non-Rolex)

5711 is a game changer.

Yeah, take option 1, add the Tudor to the left side and swap the smurf for the 5711.

I recently passed on one. I didn't even want to try it on. Scared I'd love it.
