3 to keep, 1 to go....

Tough decision and keep going in circles trying to decide...



Panda and Sky D were both bought grey. BLNR and Oysterflex Daytona from AD. Maybe a slim chance to get a Panda or Sky D in future from the AD. Not sure how I feel about the 12 series white dial. Might prefer it in black but haven't seen either in person yet. Panda is a 2/24 fully stickered watch. If I keep, I will definitely remove stickers and wear. Oysterflex was my first Daytona. Hard to pick which one to push out the door, but I need to consolidate the collection and send one away. So hard to think what fit's best into the ideal long term collection.

Keep the GMTII, skydweller, and one of the Daytonas. Which ever you’ll enjoy more. Gives you a nice dial color variety. Take the money you’ll gain and go on vacation someplace warm with turquoise water and bring one of the multiple time zone pieces.

Agree! I don’t get the OF strap, especially on a non-diver. It doesn’t matter where you bought them, nor do our opinions. Keep the three that YOU like best. We are just going to tell you the three WE like best. That will just further confuse you.

I would also let the SD go. It would be an easy decision for me as the SD is and wears so big. The Daytona OF you have is such a warm color combo, I think you will miss it at times.

I would move on from the GMT. Not the biggest fan of it on the jubilee.

Agreed. Unless you REALLY love precious metal. The remaining 3 will give you a nice balance of watches.

My initial impression was to move the OF Daytona, but the panda you bought grey so there's no obligation to the AD and it's fully stickered so it's worth even more.

I'd sell panda, recoup that money and be ready for when your AD sells you one.

Do you plan to replace one? Depending on that, any one of them could go on the block.

Keep your favorite Daytona of the two, offload the other. Keep rest.

The three steels look good together. I'd keep those.

Why do you need to consolidate? If it’s because you need money, I’d sell two. Values aren’t going up.

Keep steel Daytona and BLNR as a perfect pair.

I’d ditch the oyster flex personally. If you want to keep a PM ditch the panda. The BLNR and SkyD are keepers in my book especially if you have the wrist for the SkyD.

If you don’t, (or prefer smaller pieces) move the SkyD. I feel like the Daytonas are so different you could keep both.

This is a hard decision indeed, since you asked my vote is to nix the OF.
