Let me start by saying I never meant to reach 12 watches. I brought the SRPD73K1 and the GA2100 to replace an older smart watch that I didn’t like using any longer. Many have been through the collection and it could easily have been more watches sat in this picture.

It’s definitely the first time I’ve looked at what I had an I’ve wondered why I have so many and I’m mainly wearing the SSK001 these days so I’m seriously considering selling all but that.

I think I’m mainly questioning myself at this point and whether I can truly justify keeping 12 or whether any of you fellow enthusiasts would suggest trimming it down a little bit.

Any input would be appreciated!

    I feel like the white Citizen and Seikos serve the exact same purpose. They even both have day/dates and the same style indices. Pick which one you like the most and sell the other.

    The black dialed Citizen/Bulova pair are the same story. I’m sure you favor one over the other-why have both? It looks like both of these sets are combining auto/quartz movements. If that’s the case, then I guess I understand. Maybe have one black/one white, and one of those be quartz/one auto?

    The black dialed divers with crowns at 4/8? Same story, except both of them are automatic. Are you a lefty or not? If you bought that Citizen I’m going to guess yes, so I would keep that one and sell the Seiko. It’s already very similar to your GMT.

    Speaking of the GMT, area you really satisfied with it? There are a lot of examples from the Seiko 5 lineup here, and I feel like this is one that is prime for an upgrade. I like the 5KX series, but personally I’m not a fan of the GMTs. It’s not a bad watch, so if you like it and don’t want to spend the money to upgrade, I completely understand.

    I don’t see a reason to have two G-Shocks, unless you’re just really that indecisive about analog v digital, or a big fan of them so much that you want to collect all the styles. Personally, I’m a bigger fan of square G-Shocks than the Casioaks, so I’d ditch that one. Plus the square one looks like one of the pricier ones with a dot matrix display. I have one G-Shock-the square 5610U, and it’s one of my favorites in my collection, but I don’t want another one. But you do you.

    Seiko 5 field watch and Flightmaster? Those are fucking cool, hold onto them. I can’t even tell what brand that other chrono is, but it’s a very nice looking rip-off of the omega moon watch, so if it’s actually good, hold onto it I too guess.

    None of these look like particularly bad watches, but you have a lot of overlap. You look like you may still be trying to figure out where your preferences lie. I think it’s time to take a hard look at this collection, figure out what those are, and maybe consolidate and/or elevate the quality on some of them.
