Thank you. I understand the 'voice' - it's dangerous and it demands compliance. Those empty slots can be dealt with using a saw - but you have to be prepared to be BRUTAL! 🤣
I get it. It took me a long time but I finally realised that not wearing so many of them was unsettling, and this hobby should be 100% enjoyable. I think I've got that back now. The Pelagos definitely enabled the Sinn shedding. I tried hard to force myself to really love the Sinn, but finally worked out that it was the aesthetics of the bezel cut outs that I didn't like. The Pelagos sunray is something I'm coming to terms with rather than like, but it is a brilliant watch.
The Stowa looks great on the bracelet and I do miss that mesh. The Seestern colours were great, but I still have a bright blue Vostok beater and a vintage Ordiam with a blue dial too. The Seesterns were a test run for a Doxa, but I couldn't live with the thickness. Of course, Doxa has now released much thinner subs, but the reduced diameter wouldn't work for me as the dials are already so small in the case. The Archimede sub-seconds is lovely, but still 40mm unfortunately. My summer watch will be the Pelagos - I'm determined not to baby it, just wear it and enjoy it.
Good luck with it. It is difficult because you're shedding watches you clearly like very much else you would never have bought them in the first place. But trimming the fat leaves something lovely and lean.
One year on, this is what I have (there's a vintage Ordiam at the watch spa too). Quite a few changes...
