Hi forum,

I have been pretty stable with my small collection that you can see in my signature. Over the years I have ebbed and flowed with buying, selling, trading, etc. and have owned a number of watches more than once over time. I have also dabbled into being a "one watch" person that worked a few times for me, once with the 16600 SD and another time for a record 6-7 years with the 114060 Sub.

I've generally liked to keep one vintage piece and then dabble with others. Currently I still love my 1680 and think it will stay for the long term. I am also very enamored with my modern 126610 Sub Date. Those two are really great watches.

I find myself wearing my Polar 216570 very sparingly. It is a beautiful watch, though it wears large and I wear it so rarely that I don't ever quite bond with it. My Milgauss Z-Blue is similar...there was a time when I forced myself to wear it for two months and I fell very much back in love with it...but here we are and I'm not wearing it that often. Each of these watches do have some back stories that make them somewhat special, though at the end of the day, they are just watches.

I've always wanted a BLNR and maybe now on jubilee bracelet. I've debated about making a deal to trade off either the Polar or Z-Blue towards a BLNR...or maybe both and see if I can end up on the positive end of $$ if both are jettisoned for one watch. Hmm.

The other major stretch idea is going for the current WG Sub, which would require getting rid of the new Sub Date, the Polar, and Z-Blue...probably still needing some money added...and keeping the 1680. I am still debating on the quantity of watches I want to have in order to feel happy. The current four is the most I've kept for a longer time period...having been more of a 1-2 watch person.

I guess the bottom line comes down to these two options...perhaps I'll make this a poll...trade one or both lesser worn watches towards a BLNR to go alongside my two Subs...or trade three watches to get a WG Sub.
