Watchbox filled up quick! Curate the collection time...

And so the story went and the watchbox filled up!

I think the colleciton is ok balanced, though not stale - the tissot is up for sale as I can't seem to gel with it!

Straps on top, bracelets in bottom, quartzes to the right and just realising I have some dial colour pairs :). More recent picks were the San Martin BB homage, the orient Mako 3 and the Tandorio Flieger, and one watch that was here in December now has a new home - this Seagull piece with which I struggled connecting:

So now its time to love the watches that are here, and start thing about a new purchase once the Tissot leaves the chopping block!

My advice is to sell a bunch of these and begin taking your collection up market. Add a Rolex or Omega.

Pretty well every base covered here!

Great collection!

Very nice, several solid labels for sure. I'd probably trade/sell many for a higher tier watch, maybe Omega, Sinn or something else.

While I value the advice, that is not really an option for me at this stage...

Budget needs to be contained and if I see the 3 higher value pieces in the collection (pair of breitlings and the Longines Chrono are too much more than normal collection pieces and are perpetual parts of the collection, I see the combined investment on the remaining 9 was €2k.

Even if I could get what I paid, hard to find an Omega (Rolex out of the realm of possibilities budget but also not a lot of models that spark my interest).

That being said, can be a LT strategy (even if I don't see myself without a few true affordable pieces), to play out in the coming years! Let's see!
