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!
You have a few pieces that I like. A couple years ago I almost got one of those Citizen day dates next to the promaster, I don’t know the ref. And I have a ny0040 promaster. But since you asked, I would say sell everything except the flighty and start over. A while back I sold about 20 of my old quartz and some autos that I wasn’t wearing; to fund a couple mid tier pieces. Recently I have been contemplating selling everything and getting an Aqua Terra as a 1 watch collection. For example having something like 6 watches will help to prolong servicing but eventually they will all require maintenance within something like 20 years since the oils will dry up over time despite how much or little you’ve worn them. It’s something to consider if you are an enthusiast on a budget like myself and probably a lot of us. My thinking is, an AT that will theoretically need a service every 10 years which from what I’ve heard is about $700; may be cheaper than maintaining 6 over time. Plus you might get more enjoyment from one badass piece that you wear all the time and collects a lifetime of memories. You obviously don’t have to follow this advice, it’s just where I’m at on my journey but it does seem like a common place to get to after collecting for a while. Anyways good luck with the collection.
