I've consolidated a LOT and pretty happy. Don't really look anymore for the next watch. The only thing I want is an 18k blue submariner. I can wait 15 years until retirement though.
What does the consolidated collection consist of?

I would with that collection in a minute.

You could play it however you wanted and then some possibly keeping two or more with some decent change leftover after the 18k sub.

As strange as it sounds I'd keep the DJ champagne TT for certain. You won't get much out of it and it's a classic which adds +1 for versatility sake. I have my personal preferences on the others in order but it's not my collection to liquidate.

Actually, these aren't going anywhere. This is what I have left after 60 some watches to 30 higher end (Omega/Breitling/Panerai/etc) to 16 Rolex and Tudor.

I have a couple of dress Tudors too.

All I want to add is a gold sub to go with the Daytona and GMT. But these aren't going anywhere.

I’m not typically a fan of blue watches but that is really nice.

I know what mine will be: an operational diver, with a 10yr 5 jewel Swiss quartz, individually wet tested to 1000ft, with a 41mm case and a 42mm illuminated countdown bezel, in 316L stainless, with drilled lugs at 22mm and spring bars, on an Admiralty Toxic Rogue, coming in at 49.5 lug-to-lug, with a 5 year warranty and designed, assembled, tested, and serviced in the US.

The next one I’d get after that would be a mechanical version, fully American Made.

But that’s just me.
Mine too. :fro:
definitely mine :headbang:

I’ll take one of each, Matt. Until those are ready I’ll stick with Seiko and Sinn.

Is this crazy? I used to have something that looked like this in the 80s. Looks like fun. Image

Will you wear it? My first Swiss Watch was a Swatch. The automatic movements in the System 51 watches does intrigue me.

I’ve got the orange 51 and think it’s a lot of fun.

Oh yeah - I’d wear it (and that orange one - that’s sweet). The movement is intriguing but I just love that throw back style. Now just give me one of those guards and I’m all-in.

I was going to buy one in Basel but it was twice the price as here!

They’re cool!

I kind of miss this one that I had in 1987...
