Within the next few days my grail watch will arrive, which I will gladly introduce here.

Lately, I've noticed that collecting and hoarding watches is no longer my thing. In the last two years, I have developed into a one watch guy. So it seemed to me the right time to completely dissolve my modest collection. My last two watches leave the house tomorrow. I am a bit wistful, but also relieved. Simplify is my motto.

If everything works out, I'll get my one and only next week! It will be a valuable watch that I can wear every day and on every occasion. For me it embodies emotion, perfection, and understatement. No, it's not a Patek...

If we are guessing, I guess BLNR

If it's a BLNR, what did u sell a couple of Tags and a few G SHOCKS and a Seiko. I'm thinking it bigger and a PM.......

Lol was not sure of his previous collection. I just know BLNR is my grail so that's why I said it :P

Exactly. BLNR hardly worthy of selling a whole Rolex collection for. Unless their 34mm OP’s

DenaliHD · 27 July 2017, 03:17 PM

Smurf or DD40.

BeirutrulesMrBarnes · 27 July 2017, 03:17 PM

Congrats on the purchase! I look forward to seeing some pics. I wear 1 watch everyday and I do not miss the other watches. I still have them but was thinking of liquidating....

NeoAnderson · 27 July 2017, 03:19 PM

Platona

116500LN · 27 July 2017, 03:20 PM

I had too broad of a variety, many cheap ones, a few good ones, my last two were a Sinn Flieger chronograph and a Rolex 15210. No comparison to the one to come...

bdex75 · 27 July 2017, 03:34 PM

I hope to one day have the fortitude to do something like this. I really want to be a one watch guy but my heart doesn't agree right now.

Birky101 · 27 July 2017, 03:56 PM

I was the same as you with a collection of watches then realized that I only used to wear two of them so I scaled down to my two favorite watches

Congrats OP

Must be good to finally go for that target.

This is an interesting topic. I like many watches, but somehow dislike the idea of having several. Besides the obvious financial aspect (of having multiple that are not gaining value) I'm not sure why I dislike it. Maybe it's some form of OCD

I have two I'm kinda happy with. They both have a few unique traits that justify it for me.
But I'm thinking of adding a 3rd and staying at that. Probably a Sub Date.

Amex4711 · 27 July 2017, 05:39 PM

oh, I'm nervous

, what could it be ?

VicLeChic · 27 July 2017, 06:25 PM

I applaud your decision, a very brave step.

I wanted to reduce to three pieces myself but I just can't, too many memories. There's a the little story behind each watch and significant events associated with some of them, like the birth of my children for instance. I love the idea of simplicity but It'd be too painful to let them go.

osamu · 27 July 2017, 06:39 PM

understated so WG, maybe the new WG Daytona on Oysterflex.

At least that would near the top of my list for an only watch.

sager · 27 July 2017, 06:54 PM

Smurf? I could never be a one-watch-guy but if I had to, it would be the smurf.

Sometimes I am thinking in this direction, sell all and go for the PM SkyD, but not yet ready to do so ...

emersm · 27 July 2017, 07:55 PM

I'm going to guess BLRO.

MrInternational · 27 July 2017, 08:47 PM

Congrats - look forward to seeing it! I'll guess it's one of the PM Daytona's. Whatever it is I'm sure it's going to be amazing. Can't wait!

dr35mm · 27 July 2017, 09:02 PM

Fantastic thinking. I've been on the same page as you for a long time, gave away the cheaps, sold the decents and ended up with my Yacht Master. Now I'm waiting for a Daytona C and the YM will be handed to my wife.

Less is more!
