I have a small collection of watches, it may not look that much to some of you guys but I am very pleased that I could put it together, but as always there are other models that you want to get to know. I have long wanted to add a Panerai to my collection to get some more variation and a watch that looks awesome with a leather strap. Would like to keep all the watches in the collection but I can not have more watches laying around than I have now.

Would have to drop one of them for the benefit of a Panerai 1A, 2A or Pam 4.

The question is, which one should be removed from my current collection:

-Rolex Daytona A-series, white dial. Just bought it and like it very much.
-Rolex GMT Pepsi, birth year. Don´t get to wear it much, but still special.
-Rolex Sub-date, daily wearer.
-Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, like the design, but not so much wristtime.
-Omega Seamaster Chrono, my first really nice watch.

I need a rugged watch that I can use at my leisure and work. I work with security in an office or outdoor environment, I do not wear a suit, if it helps.

Would be nice with some input. Let me know your thoughts.

Have a nice day!

I would drop the Daytona or the Speedmaster I think.

Personally neither really "do it" for me, and the other three all either seem to have a significance for you or are worn daily. They seem the obvious keepers to me...

Here's all the advice you need.

I really don't care for the Seamaster personally though, do I'd let that one go too.

Japp, så funkar det!

This has easily become my most worn watch, I wouldn't trade it for a hundred DSSDs.

TimeOnHand · 28 October 2011, 07:27 PM

I love that Pepsi... sell it to me!

Puffy · 28 October 2011, 07:30 PM

Fredrik, listen to your wise Danish neighbour and don't cull anything for a Panerai without first trying one on.

Recently I lusted for the brand as well but that very soon died down.

If you haven't already worn a Panerai for a few days, try one on and see if it's the pictures of Panerai you like or the actual look of the watch on your wrist.

you might be surprised...

Puffy, i'm up for a Panerai but as yet haven't had chance to try one on, no Dealers near me....how does it compare to your DSSD ?......and Fredrik, i wouldn't get shot of any of your collection, chances are you'll only regret later

The DSSD is the Watch of Champions, a bit like the Little Chef breakfast, solid, nice to look at and makes you feel good

Mate I was drooling over Panerais, all the pics, window shopping, man i was there and ready to spend! Then i tried one on for a few days and I can see the strap attraction and all of that, but it's not a Rolex, I got tired of the strap thing after a day and there was no love when I looked down. I couldn't wait to put on a SS Rolex or Omega as soon as I got home

So I was very close to being sucked into the Richemont brand circus and glad I didn't

To me the DSSD will win over Panerai any day, the clasp on the DSSD... i needn't say more

so there you have it Fredrik, get yourself a DSSD & an Olympic breakfast, forget the Panerai

Instant arterial clog, heart attack and no worries as to which to cull. Good news is that the Pepsi will become available.

Have to say, it looks good though

I was surprised to the point that I wear my PAM 005 more than my Sub-C. In a week, I wear my PAM 5 out of 7 days while I might switch to the Sub or Speedy the other two. Of course, it's just my preference but I wanted to share it with you. There are always two sides to every story.

In your current collection, I'd lose the Omega Seamaster.

Cru Jones · 28 October 2011, 07:30 PM

i really like the speedy, but, if you don't wear it too much and since you have a daytona, maybe consider flipping it.....although, in the end, you have a nice collection, so, i'd rather save a bit longer and add rather than subtract.

aussiewatchnut · 28 October 2011, 07:35 PM

Seeing the speedy doesn't get much wrist time, that seems like the one to sell but I think you should probably save a bit longer and keep them all.

unlisted · 28 October 2011, 07:37 PM

First and foremost, awesome collection!

I believe MANY would be quite proud of it!

I myself would definitely not get rid of any Rolexes. A SS Daytona with a white dial and a black Sub is an awesome combination of watches that can be used in a variety of environments and dress attires! Add the Pepsi GMT and that just makes the options limitless and very tasteful. I feel like if those were the only three you could have, you would still be absolutely set.

If you're Seamaster has sentimental value being your first really nice watch I would not get rid of it. I personally am more fond of the Speedmaster, especially manual wind Moon, but it seems like that is the one that would appear to make the most sense to get rid of.

I definitely think the Panerai would add a new dimension and flare to your collection!

Best of luck with whatever you do! I think no matter what you already have an AWESOME collection!

speedo · 28 October 2011, 07:37 PM

i wouldn't sell any of my watches to fund a new one. in your really nice collection the seamaster is the one i like the least but i guess it would not sell for enough to fund a new pam.

Very nice collection. Imo you'll regret selling any of them sooner or later.
If forced to choose the Seamaster Chrono as solid a watch as it is, would be the weakest link of the five. But it's your fist real watch...
Save a while longer, make the Panny No. 6 and you'll have no regrets.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

bayerische · 28 October 2011, 09:47 PM

I'd sell the Seamaster chrono of those in a heart beat.

Never liked the Seamaster chronos.

masterkiller · 28 October 2011, 10:07 PM

Tjena Fredrik,

It depends,

The obvious would be to let the Omega Seamaster Chrono go, it is the least expensive piece and a huge dirfference to letting the Daytona go (Pricewise)

All the PAM you are looking at are collectors pieces and quite hard to source, maybe start by selling the chrono and buy a 'in production' piece as 000, 005,111, 112, 176, 177

Anyway, when the first PAM enters the Rollies will start to slip away!

/masterkiller

nauticajoe · 28 October 2011, 10:21 PM

Very nice collection. Tough choice. I would probably let the Speedy go since its lacking the wrist time and you already have another chrono.

Good luck!

humvee · 28 October 2011, 10:23 PM

The items shown at 12, 11, 9 and 7'o clock (potatoes, mushroom, tomatoes and beans) positions are pretty healthy. The rest, I would pass.

Tomi55 · 28 October 2011, 11:47 PM

Sell the speedmaster! Panerai is worth to get for sure, they are just as good as rolex IMO.

joleel7 · 29 October 2011, 12:21 AM

I picked up a PAM and I like it.. But can't compare to my DSSD but PAM still worth the collection drop the Omega if I were you.

azguy · 29 October 2011, 12:32 AM

Sell the speedy

I have a seamaster also and love the skeleton hands and the details on the bracelet, plus it's tiough as hell and the best water watch that you have in your collection in my opinion.

MoBe · 29 October 2011, 12:17 AM

I`ll have the full english thank you.

I`d never sell a Rolex for another watch.

If you haven`t had a Panerai on your wrist yet try to take one for a test drive first just to be sure.

esm · 29 October 2011, 12:35 AM

Omega Seamaster Chrono

kcmo · 29 October 2011, 01:02 AM

I'd encourage you to keep the 3 Rolexes and sell one of the Omegas....probably the Speedy since you don't wear it.
