Thinking about downsizing to 4 watches

Yes you need a lighter dial watch get rid of the explorer and give it to me….

😉

😜 it is a boring dial anyway

I ve sold a whole lot of my gshocks (ok, no comparison to your collection) i knew i wouldn t wear any longer, but despite the sheer loss of money i didn t miss the most of 'em (though i haven t seen them a lot of time before selling)- so i get room for new stuff

Done that before? - Yes.

Not looking back? - Well…. Not that I miss the watches I parted with but can’t stop wanting another😅

How are you going to get by with just one Seiko diver? You should send me the BB and get another Seiko.

Swap the Tudor for a Sub and the Seiko for a Cartier and that’s the perfect collection for me.

I would recommend selling all that you don't wear and will not miss. The fact you are considering doing so makes your decision easier. As for collection I would agree a dress(ier ) watch such as Cartier would complete the collection, either as addition to 4 above or to replace one expesive sport watch ( I would go with Tudor as you have a great diver in Seiko )

Nah I find the BB58 more interesting. I’d agree swap the Seiko for a dress watch but not sure which one. Depends on budget.

I like the idea and think if you replace one of the divers with a tank you have a perfect 4 watch collection. Pretty close to what I have in mind for myself. Speedy, Tank, Seiko diver + datejust is where I will hopefully end up soon (or let's say whenever I get the call from my ad). I am thinking of selling my Baltic Aquascaphe so I do not have diver redundancy. And my g-shock doesn't really count :D

I sold three & gave away three and now have six ! I think I will probably end up with eight ! But no more after that ….. 😜

I’ve done the same thing- I’ve downsized from basically a hoard of watches to 4 and I’ve enjoyed the experience much more - I’ve bonded with these watches as I’m actually wearing them. It’s also made me much more disciplined in this hobby so if I add in the future I’ll hopefully make more thoughtful choices - I think you’ll be very happy !

yeah, agree, the black bay is not moving. As for a dress watch, I don't have no use for them. I would wear a tank, but with t shirt and jeans

great to hear and motivates me to go in the same direction. what are the 4 watches in your collection currently?

I always wear my Tank casually on the bracelet. I think it looks great like that.

The moonswatch and explorer are keepers, unless you don't really like them or like the others more instead. It really depends on what you want or use

Do it and get out if you can.

Depending on what the rest of the collection looks like of course. I do however think the 4 watch collection is the perfect size. You also have some wiggle room with your BB58 and Seiko. Could always trade those out for other things. Maybe a Cartier and a Sub? You do have a very nice collection currently. 👍🏻👍🏻

Had the bb58, but gifted it to a friend when I got the pro. I hear you about the tank. I do like how it can be super formal, but also wears well more casually. I’ve also considered going:

• tank

• sbgw291

• explorer

• bb54

But I have a feeling the two dressier watches would wind up sitting in the watch box collecting dust 🥲

You'll cover all the bases! Diver, GMT, Chrono, time only 3 hander

I’ve caught myself in the same thoughts lately. I’m currently rotation between 8, but really only wear 4 of them. Some of the 8 are very sentimental though so they will not be going anywhere, but I’m def working on pairing down the collection to pieces I really enjoy and are highly functional

Bb58 over sub any day

😁 that must be a very organized rotation to wear them all

That’s a great four watch collection. I would add a dressier watch like a Tank, Reverso or IWC Portuguese and be done.

I’m up to four watches (plus the obligatory G-Shock) and find it works for me. My obvious gap is something dressier too but it wouldn’t get much wear so I’m holding off for now.

Your collection looks awesome 🔥

If you don’t dress up a lot, the Explorer is more than dressy enough.

I sold 8 watches and now have a more wearable 4 watch collection. I don't miss any of the watches I've sold. I enjoyed them when I had them but moved on, and I don't enjoy "larger " collections, particularly when I rotate between 3-4 watches. Personally I don't see the attraction of a box of watches I don't wear.

Downsizing?

I have no idea what you mean.

😏

In my opinion, you have a chronometer, a go anywhere do anything, and two divers. Dump the Tudor, keep the Seiko. Buy the Cartier. Solid 4 watch collection covering all four categories.

Good luck friend... The selling part yes, not so challenging... The not looking back part nah, never succeeded too much temptation 😅

I think 4 watches for a collection is a reasonable number, but diversity in style and colors shall provide more satisfaction 👌🏻

If you can downsize and be happy with that go for it man! But in my opinion in your watch collection it lacks one colorfull watch and a dress one, a part from that you have a killer collection man! It would be hard to choose between that 4 watches..
