Very nice collection, I think the Gauss is more interesting than a LE Speedmaster myself.

Personally, I'd stick with the AT over another Speedy. The only thing similar to the AT is your Milgauss. But you already have another Speedy and a Daytona. You know what might add some variety to that box is actually a SevenFriday P3. And at their affordable prices, you wouldn't need to sell anything to buy it. But perhaps that's my own bias speaking because I'm very much on the fence for a P3 now. In the Omega realm, your collection is missing a dress watch. The three-handed Tresor might be a good fit if you were to part with that AT.



BTW, outstanding watch box.

Nice collection. They are all sport watches though. AT is perhaps the dressiest of the lot. Not thinking of perhaps adding a dress watch to the collection?

Since the AT 15,000 Gauss went over like a lead balloon it may be a collectors item at some point 20 or 30 years from now... but not likely anytime soon so it could be a good move.

Nice collection. Personally I wouldn't add another Speedmaster, you already have a nice one. Do you really need two ss GMT's? Something on a leather strap would be nice.

The only great watch missing is the Sub-C 114060.

I think the Apollo 15 is a bit redundant in your collection as you already have a Speedy Pro and a black Daytona. If you are looking for a limited edition Speedy, why not look for something like a Speedy Alaska project?
Another option is to replace the AT 15000 with a dress watch like a Deville, a datejust or a grand seiko?

You like black and want a little color. How about DSOTM?

Great collection...... A DJII would be a good fit, something without another black dial IMHO.

So the AT Gauss has to go... I support that decision. As for the LE Speedy, I am not sure... I think you'll be better off by getting something else, as you have a Speedy already and let's face it--the limited editions of Speedmaster are sort of overhyped...

On the other hand, I can see how you can use a white faced Speedy, e.g., Alaska Project as mentioned above or a limited edition for Japan (sorry, I forgot the name of the store it was released for).

beautiful collection. may I ask the model number of your speedy pro? 3570? anyway, I think you should add a nice dress watch to your collection...JLC or GO.

The model number is 3570 for the speedy that I have. I already did the trade now waiting on the new speedy LE coming soon. Maybe will be considering the Alaska project to replace the 3570

That Speedmaster LE is very nice. The thing is with the 3570.50 is that you can always add it back relatively easily.

The Alaska is a lot nicer in person than in pics but can be a bit of a pita to source.
