Re: If you had to pare down your collection to 2 watches.......
If I had to keep 2 of my current collection:
Seawolf as the 'do anything' watch and the Pam for office and more formal occasions.

I mainly rotate between my BB58, Speedy pro and Sbbn015 Tuna but would probably narrow down to the Speedy and Tudor if I had to.

Exp 1 and a diver.
For the diver, maybe a 14060 but more likely a 2254 Seamaster since I’d feel more comfortable wearing that for anything since the price is lower.

Let me change the title of the thread.

It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had

Thanks Pat, currently looking at a near new pre-owned Blue Pelagos here in Sydney for $4500 Aus dollars = about $3200US. Big problem I have at the moment is the exchange rate, which hammers me if I buy from the US. J

How is the oak and Oscar?rockmastermike wrote:Since the first of the year I have gone from 13 consolidated down to 4 in hand.....but really 6 overall : the vintage tudor day date is in Service and I pre-ordered the Oak & Oscar Humboldt arriving in Spring
In Hand:
1600 DJ
14060M
116710LN
Seiko 7546 Grab-n-GO
Can't get down to 2 so 3 is my best attempt
keeping:
1600 DJ
14060M
116710LN
Letting go:
Oak & Oscar Humboldt
Tudor day Date
Seiko 7546 - although this would be hard to do, it would be a lower cost of re-acquisition

Re: If you had to pare down your collection to 2 watches.......
It’s not here yet, pre-orders will start arriving in Spring but if it’s like other Oak&Oscars I’ve handled it will be great.
I eventually move them all anyway but Being the context of the original question was if I Absolutely had to cut down my small collection to even smaller choices have to be be made.
Re: If you had to pare down your collection to 2 watches.......
I'm thinking these two could take me a long, long way...

Re: If you had to pare down your collection to 2 watches.......
I’m thinking my Explorer II and either my Ares or Pelagos. The idea of the 10-year battery makes me lean towards the Ares. I thought about my Fenix, but need for charging capability in my travels kind of rules it out as my “mission” watch.

Re: If you had to pare down your collection to 2 watches.......
Pretty easy for me I guess....
I’d keep the Speedy Pro (never leaving collection) and my Panerai 305.
I’m actually completely happy with both.

Re: If you had to pare down your collection to 2 watches.......
Almost three years later and this is still where I'm at, and I even managed to actually do it. I still get restless from time to time, but the only way I could see moving the 16570s would be to consolidate into one more expensive piece (like a 16710 or something).
If money were no object, I think one would be a Patek Aquanaut - having seen it IRL, I think it looks great. Crazy expensive now, though. Not sure about the other. Maybe a white gold or platinum Day-Date? Or I guess I could go with something with a lot of complications from Patek or the like.
Re: If you had to pare down your collection to 2 watches.......
My "problem" is I have quite a few pieces that were gifts, therefore they aren't going anywhere. However, if push came to shove, these two would remain. Daily and the nice vintage heirloom for special occasions.
On the flip side, if I was facing skid row, Id sell everything and stick to the fossil my girlfriend (who changed titles to Mrs. and mother) bought me years ago, and my garmin for running (since I'll be broke my bikes will be sold too )
I know we all love this kind of discussion.

Re: If you had to pare down your collection to 2 watches.......
first, let me say, all watches go eventually, however for the sake of argument let's break them down into tiers
I reserve the right to change this up at any time, lol
will go before the "last two" maybe, probably, and in no order
And of today I would hold on to these two the longest, not written in stone
