Really a stunning collection with very desirable pieces.

I think what might stay or go depends on the direction you want your collection to go. I would take some time and define my goals as to what I want the endgame to be.

I see the foundation of a fantastic Sub and Daytona collection. I would look to add a 1680 ( RED as a first choice) and a black dial Zenith Daytona.

As to what would go? not sure, but the Viceroy would stay--just to cool!

Excellent collection!

Damn, I miss my 16520'ies!

Nice whiskies, too! Lagavulin and Ardbeg are my favourite whiskies!

Absolutely magnificant pieces, and outstanding photography as well. I won't even fathom a guess, as to how I would proceed with a collection like that.

Curious if the TT Daytona has a special place in your heart, or is that on the chopping block?

After cleaning the drool off my keyboard I actually read your thread. I'm in no position to give advice about the direction of your stellar collection ................................but you could add a GMT to two.

Wow - what an impressive collection. Thanks for sharing the pics. And I really like your taste in Single Malts. I've got a couple of the same. Looks like you, me and Bo should get together and tast some Malts...

How is the 30 yr Bowmore - I have never seen that one before?

Thanks to everyone...

For the kind words.

Right now I am not sure which direction I want to go. Part of me wants to sell them all and pick up a couple of true grails.

To those who have expressed interest in any particular watch I will let you know if that watch must leave.

Cheers,

Adam
