Sell your entire collection, buy one watch. But which one?

I’d rather the collection I’ve created. I’m standing pat.

Me too. Staying with what I have

Interesting question. I started the process of selling almost all of my collection last fall. I've used the funds to rebuild it with brands or watches I hadn't paid attention to or committed to before. However if I had spent it all on one watch I would likely look at a Tudor Ranger or an Oris Propilot caliber 400.

If I sold my whole collection I'd have maybe 300.00, I'd buy a Casio surf timer.

The variety is what I enjoy. If I could only have one watch, I probably wouldn’t bother at all.

I love variety too much. l couldn't find just one watch to cover all my fashion styles.

Well, the truth is I like the collection I have and the variety, that being said, if I were to sell my collection to buy just one watch it would be this one.

Come on people, just play along. If I sold my collection and the watch was available, I’d buy an Explorer I.

There are a couple of people on here that if they sold their whole collection they couldn't buy just one watch using 90% of the money. There wouldn't be a watch available that costs that much. I'm happy with my eclectic collection. I wouldn't sell it. If I did I couldn't find an eclectic enough watch. Maybe a Jacob&Co. but it still wouldn't be eclectic enough. LOL 😂

An aquanaut. I basically did this before. Then I sold the aquanaut and another round of madness started. I love a field watch and I love a patek- so this is the pinnacle for me.

My collection is so small and has so little resale value I believe I could barely end up affording one piece of my current collection 😂

This.

I wouldn't.

But for the sake of playing, gun to my head, I'd swap the lot for either an Aqua Terra world timer or Planet Ocean and spend the change on straps

I wouldn’t get much for my whole collection but would a Seiko Prospex Speedtimer as it would just about fit all my needs.

Nah, I'm keeping my watches. I'm not looking for upgrades right now, weird, I know.

Nope. But if I did I would really struggle with the one watch. Maybe the Moser Streamliner but that's more than my collection would get preowned market

I'd never do this, but if I did I'd prob throw logic out the window and not get a one and done GADA type watch b/c the one watch I'd want with all that $$$ from selling my collection would be a Lange Saxonia Copper Blue with the aventurine dial. But . . . back to reality . . . even if I had that $$$ I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing a watch that expensive. I'd baby it too much. My comfort level as far as daily wear goes down, down, down after 8k.

A Rolex GMT white gold

Tough question, I bought most of mine on sale so I would probably be able to make most of my money back. The issue is I wouldn’t be able to buy anything with the proceeds except maybe a couple of Casio digitals 😅.

You think I’d be kidding but I couldn’t even rebuy my current G-Shock Square bec those are already going for over 2x on eBay (brand new) what I paid originally for mine.

Hard to judge what I could realise on selling the collection and the amount is a bit of a no-man's-land where there isn't much I like (so I would struggle to drop the lot on a single watch) but maybe a Ressence Type 1 Squared, H. Moser & Cie Vantablack or - on a good day - a Patek Calatrava.

Nope, keeping what I got. Memories are worth more than a new piece of steel

Pointless for me, I have the one watch I would buy 😎💪

I'd sell up and buy a blueberry (cookie monster). That blue bezel and stealth white gold would tick all the boxes for a one piece collection.

I didn't buy resale value. I bought interesting watches that I could afford.

OK I will play. I do not have that many watches. But if I sell I guess iw would raise about 5 grand (optimistic). I would buy a watch made the Jaeger and Benzinger.

I sold all i had and payed my Bills and bought me a 124270 … now im Fine. I dont ne more … only just for fun watches around 500€ to let the Hobby alive.

Those are gorgeous watches, very good and unique choice

Rolex Explorer 39mm, for sure

NO! Stop saying bad things!

I’m good thanks I have thinned out my Watch collection over the years , I wouldn’t sell my watches to go to one watch , that’s just a recipe for anxiety.
