![[SOTC] What would you sell off or would you keep them all?](https://alien.top/pictrs/image/e6cd97d9-c1ef-417b-b2cc-39657144c357.webp){kind=link}
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 do like retro watches must most of these watches have 1970s vibes. I like 1950s and early 1960s vibe in watches. Also i like faux patina and dont like white and silver hands on watches… Yeah, I would sell all of it.
Sell all (or keep one), get one GS/Seiko Promaster as a daily. In the end you only have one hand to wear those.
There isn’t such a thing as a Seiko Promaster.
You need more variety. All of your watches just kind of blend together and nothing really stands out. I’d keep the white g shock and seiko gmt and sell everything else.
My thoughts exactly!
I would definitely trim/upgrade. Keep the SSK since thats what you wear and one of the gshocks. Maybe another watch if anythings senitmental.
Thats like 9 watches you can sell off. Use that money and buy 1 nicer watch.
Flightmaster really stands from the crowd
Keep the GMT, the pro master, the white citizen, and your favorite gshock. Maybe the Seiko at the bottom too for a small beater. Then if you decide to upgrade or expand later, you’ll be in a better place for either
Trim down and upgrade
Yes. I would keep the Gshock and maybe a “dress Seiko” or citizen quartz but outside of that I’d sell ‘em all and upgrade.
This is my take, too. Thin it out and then replace with higher tier pieces.
I mean you’re not gonna get much for any of these watches, even combined.
Yeah, i feel like the effort to list, sell, and ship all these is hardly worth the money you’d make. I have cheaper watches I hardly wear anymore, it’s just part of the hobby
This here is the unfortunate truth
do what you want lol. If you do want to get rid I would say get rid of watches from the same company so you have a variety in that regard
You have a lot of similar watches and some that just aren’t my style. I would narrow it down to this:
I’m mostly in agreement with you.
I’d swap the traditionally finished jubilee bracelet on the GMT with the all brushed jubilee next to it. Speaking from experience of owning both, full brushed jubilee is way more versatile, ages more gracefully, and is so much easier to restore.
I could take or leave the blue field watch… Busier dials like that are just not my thing at all.
I might swap the gray g-shock for an identical model but in a darker color, if I was dead set on having a g-shock.
But for my own lifestyle, I’d probably sell everything but the GMT and get myself a tasteful Explorer or Datejust homage from a microbrand as a daily - such as a Lorier Falcon or Astra, or Traska Commuter. Those watches work in virtually every situation and have the better water resistance than the Seiko 5. If they’re worn daily, there’s no need to worry about setting them and, if you ever do, it takes no time at all.
You have a quartz grab and go in the bulova, a gshock, a watch with a timing bezel, dress watch, and a watch for being outside. This is really all you need.
Genuinely curious: what led you to get both the Seiko GMT and the Seiko Diver? I get that they have different functions and the GMT has the magnified date window, but other than that they’re identical. I’m new to collecting and curious about what other collectors consider
I needed a new watch and brought myself the Seiko Diver. I got the Seiko GMT used, cheap, sub £200, needed some rebrushing and polishing. The intention was to sell it but I fell in love with it and it’s ended up pushing everything else out.
I would start here and consider moving on from one of the g shocks as well.
This is the best suggestion. It clears up direct over lap while still having variety. OP can trim down further if something is not getting worn, or fill in the 4 gaps with better variety.
Too much overlap. Would drive me crazy.
I’d keep the Flightmaster. The rest isnt completely my style, although i also somewhat like the Seiko GMT und the Citizen Diver in the top, second frem left.
