I mean. Did I just tune into a black and white TV?

I’d only keep the explorer then add some colour with a Speedmaster Tokyo and Hulk

Help us out here:

How do you normally dress?

What size is the Explorer?

What is the difference in the Subs?

Do you have trouble remembering what day it is?

In that combo, I’d keep the Sub date, Explorer and Speedy.

The other Subs, though better IMO, are a bit of overlap. The Sub date gives your collection a date function.

Hahaha thanks Anthony! You know I've been agonizing over this for a long time. I'm really no closer to a decision. I could keep them all but I'd also like to reduce/streamline the collection a bit as we've discussed. I do know one thing. I will take my time in deciding!

Lol I have other channels with vibrant colors. Just seeking to reduce some overlap here as go to black/iconic pieces.

Thanks I normally dress terribly lol. Jeans, t-shirts/sweatshirts etc. Exp is 39mm. Sub diff is 14060m, 16610, 124060. Ask me which is my favorite and it will change by the hour. Figured I'd collect them and try all, then pick my fave and move the rest. That's advice people often give here. Didn't work for me. I have no idea which is my fave, despite trying really hard to. No probs remembering the day haha. But the date on the 5 digits means a bulkier wearing watch too, relative to the 14060m, which is nice.

16610, Speedy, Explorer. Then I'd add one non-black dial. Done.

A Submariner and a Speedy are all you’d ever need out of that group IMHO

Depends to me which you purchased new. The ones where I’ve been the exclusive owner would be the ones I’d be inclined to keep first.
