Without having what the values are on the watches in your collection it is all just speculation. Get on the phone with the Big Trusted Sellers and see what they will give you for each piece. Once you have that information it should be easier to make a determination of what needs to go in order to make the deal work. I would be inclined to get rid of watches that are easily replaceable. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Great advice. Thank you!

Surprised so many advocating to move the VC. Such a cool and rarer watch.

I'd actually keep the steel pepsi as its a different look to the WG metiorite IMO.

I'd sell the WG YM42 for sure as well as the Explorer 2 and if you have to the Explorer 1.

Based on the state of secondary market it may be difficult to move some pieces in a timely manner and at a price that makes sense. Depending on how much of and how quickly you want to make up the cost of your new meteor watch.

All great watches that are all worth keeping so your decision what goes won’t be easy.
I would start with the VC, BLRO, Omega. More than likely the YM will be going also. All except the BLRO fairly easy to reacquire in the future.

Many have said to keep the BLRO which is hard to argue against but since you need to raise cash for the new acquisition I view the BLRO as a frivolous redundancy.

Your current GMT with jubilee looks so much nicer than the new one.

Pass on the Meteorite.

Tough one. I'm generally not in favor of trades involving multiples for one, so I'm already at a loss.

But get it...sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Just try not to cut yourself too deep and don't do anything you can't recover from. Good luck,

I’d struggle with this as well. I’ve been tracking down different overseas rubber straps that has been fun. Love the strap system.

Sell the GMT, YM and Omega.
This. Good luck, OP!
