You need to narrow it down to 2 or 3 choices and then this thread will be much more helpful.

But when I have only one watch, I tend to get that buying tendency again. Sick of flipping. But will miss the variety. I dont think I answered your question actually.. |

3. However, the pressing question, why didn't you make this thread a poll?

Are you trying to figure out what your entire collection consist of.
If this were the case I would go with option 3. For me I like to have a bit of variety and options to chose from.

I think I would go with the 1655, one of the greatest vintage ones
 Number four is a good choice as well, a newer Exp2 and a GMT, doesn't sound too bad either. You obviously already have #3, you should ask yourself if you would miss the diversity of that collection. |

No question. Who needs more than one watch...especially when it's THAT watch?

Option 3. The 16613 swung it for me.
