Advice on my collection please!

I have more watches than I wear (or want to wear), and most are spending their lives in my bank's vault. I am thinking of paring down to consolidate and clean house. I already flipped my Deepsea for an SD4K for daily use, so that was one step at least.

Onto the collection: I want a mix of a few usable daily watches but also the truly collectible watches that speak to me and which I'd have trouble finding again. I wouldn't mind dropping some of these for a day date (1803, 118139, 118135, or 118239), or an early Daytona, or something big like a Patek 5960.

Here's my stuff broken into categories of my love for them:

Would sell:
Sinn Ezm4 Achilles
Sinn 140A (full set)
Rolex 16800 transitional matte dial
Breitling Navitimer A23322 (full set)
Breitling Chronomat Frecce tricolori (full set)

Should keep but could sell:
Rolex 116600 sea dweller 4000 (full set)
Rolex 1500 date (recent rolex service dial/hands)

Must keep, won't sell:
Rolex 1655 freccione
Rolex 1665 great white
Breitling Navitimer 7806 (box, no papers)
Omega 3570.50 (full set)
Patek 5196g (might sell for another Patek)

Which would you sell? Just the top stuff? Also, new or old?

Agree with Neil. I would sell whatever you need from the "would" and "should" categories with the exception of the SD. I think I would go with newer so you could get the double quick date movement.
