The Watch Purge of 2023
Watching the latest few Urban Gentry and Just One More Watch Youtube videos it seems like purging ones watch collection is the sexy thing to do. Of course being the cutting edge trend setter I am; I started this process back in late 2022.
My wife and I are contemplating a move so in preparation I've been slowly embracing the Minimalist Movement. Sadly that means a lot of Watches have moved on; 12 departures with another 5 listed looking for new homes. It's been a long slow processes and I suspect I've not made any money but I haven't lost as much as I feared either.
This brings me down to 8 watches. I'd slash even more but the ones I'd chop of the remaining 8 are early mod projects that aren't my best work or have been banged up. Not sure what to do with them I may keep them or give them away. My goal is to get the collection down to the following:
1) A Blue Dive Watch
2) A Black Dive Watch
3) A Blue or White Sports Watch (no rotating bezel)
4) A Black Sports Watch (no rotating bezel)
5) A G-Shock
6) A Dress Watch
I've got 1, 2, 4, and 5 covered. Leaving 3 and 6 of which I'm open to sub $1000 suggestions on those.
Anyone else doing a significant collection purge?
Collector of value watches, watch modder, and vintage watch tinkerer.
Nope. Still adding here.
