Yes please. Seems like only 1 out of 10 is someone who genuinely needs help. The others seem like scammers.

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.

Marc from Long Island watch made a video a while back and gave a mechanical watch to an avid dirt biker and tested it for like 6 months without an issues. Here’s the video. https://youtu.be/J8oyxKlLXps?si=JbinCwxEwfqeS9Ta

Edit: crap I just saw someone has already posted this video. Oh well I’ll double down on it.

Very practical collection. The right watch for every occasion.
