You guys are awesome, thanks for the feedback. Not really any surprises here, I kinda knew the AT and SMP chrono were gonna get hit hard.

I imagine I could "survive" with this 4-watch lineup:

SD4K
ExpII
GO 60s
Speedy

:bananastoner:

If I needed to get it down to 3, I'd have a hard time deciding between ditching the ExpII or the GO, but it would definitely be one of them. I love 'em both but neither one gets a ton of wrist time.

Whatever you do, don't sell the SD.

Keep SD4K and Speedy. That's all you need.
Sell the rest.

Great advice.... just replace the speedy with Explorer II.
Or add the Explorer if you must.

Both Rolex, speedy and Go would make an excellent collection

I'd keep the SDc, Exp II, and Speedy, with the GO being the 4th to keep

Jeezus, am I the only one that likes the AT?

I'd keep the SDC, the Omega AT and the Explorer.

Don't listen to any of these guys. I'll trade you a nice watch or two for that SD back. :)

Keep the SD4k, Speedy, and GO (just for a change of pace).

... and I wish I could get down to even close to 6 watches. :crybaby:
This works, especially if you have kids and you think you'd keep these long enough to pass down. These 3 are the most timeless in your collection.

The others are nice... but if you're getting down to just the basics, I think SD and Speedy are as good as you can get.
Call me crazy but I've never been head over heels for the Exp2

These are the 4 I would keep.
