All,

I currently have 3 watches in my collection and I'm considering going down to 2. They are a 14060M Sub no date, Breitling Superocean Steelfish, and a Breitling Superocean Abyss. I'm considering selling off both Breitlings to fund a second hand ExII polar, since they don't seem to get much wrist time. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

kcmo · 17 January 2013, 11:53 AM

Oh yes!

mmmk604 · 17 January 2013, 11:54 AM

I'd do it. You can have 2 Rolex watches that share wrist time

kilyung · 17 January 2013, 11:54 AM

If you're not wearing them, yes.

psv · 17 January 2013, 11:55 AM

Yes, without hesitation.

Let's see......hmmmmmmm.

The OP asks a question on a Rolex forum if he should sell 2 Breitlings for one Rolex. I think he needs some enabling guys and gals.

YES!

thomaspp · 17 January 2013, 12:00 PM

yup

GRabens · 17 January 2013, 12:02 PM

No brainer...especially if your Breitlings are not getting any wrist time.

Cesium133 · 17 January 2013, 12:22 PM

Go for it. Not only because the EXP II is great but because bringing a collection down to low numbers can be nice once and awhile. Sometimes it's easy to just have a couple watches to maintain. You can always build it up at a later time.

jlc123 · 17 January 2013, 12:24 PM

Definitely

I'm on the the yes side...

AK797 · 17 January 2013, 10:34 PM

If youre not wearing them, yes, but I often think about selling my Steelfish to help buy my next Rolex but I just cant bring myself to do it, I think its a keeper for me now.

Kiddodoc · 17 January 2013, 10:44 PM

Ugh, Yeah!

Not sure if you can save up some extra cash but my thoughts are this, keep the 14060M and the Steelfish. I have both and love both. Sell the Abyss and use that with cash to get the Explorer.

I know that many people here on a Rolex forum look down on Breitling but the Steelfish is an awesome watch. I take both with me on vacation.

strafer_kid · 17 January 2013, 11:16 PM

Two Rolexs to alternate sounds good - Sub and explorer 2 - this is my own combo and it works well!

Well, in that case...yes, get the ExpII

gpfps · 17 January 2013, 11:39 PM

Sell them and get the rolex, you will be very happy.

~JJ · 17 January 2013, 11:42 PM

IMO, the Steelfish is a classic / timeless dive piece that I would keep... Also, i've noticed not a lot of love for Breitling on here, so judge responses accordingly.
