Opinions needed on a few OffShores

So I’m looking to trade 2 of these 3 pieces towards a much heavier, newer piece. Which one would you keep of these 3? The last photo I’ll post below will be the incoming….

44 Offshore Camo


LE 2008 Racer


2024 Diver



Here would be new incoming :





Thanks in advance everyone…

Steve

Love the incoming. And I like all three but I’d let them all go and pick up something else- I don’t think you’ll wear them once you get your new piece.

Racer I guess. Camo is prob really cool but racer is different case and prob more versatile. Divers the easiest to dump for me.

I think I’d sell them all too. The diver may be a nice change of pace since you’re getting a chronograph. Love the choice of the new watch.

I’d keep the diver. I have the ceramic YG chrono and it wears super well - the lighter colored diver would complement it well imo.

I’d keep diver… non-chrono and quick change is a nice variation with your new piece.

Depends, what else is in your collection? Personally, as others said, I would sell all three.

Sell the racer. Keep the camo or diver. I’d keep camo since it’s unique and I’m a sucker for not only camo but ceramic. But if you like the diver and the diversity vs a chrono then maybe you go diver.

Wow that’s tough I would keep the racer and diver lol and then add the monster ceramic

I am biased as I have the ceramic monster and love it.

My perspective on 44s like the Camo is that they won’t be made again. Sure you can get preowned if you wanted, but if this was always your piece, then there’s a case to be made to keep it at the very least for its unique and cool look IMHO. The other two are not special in the same way.
The new incoming is awesome, so congrats in advance.

I am a sucker for Camo and I like more colorful unique pieces. I have a titanium 42 offshore on bracelet and 43mm black/yg ceramic. The ergonomics on the new 43 are stellar—very comfortable watch. Being all ceramic it is a totally guilt free AP. I have zero worries about scratching the watch. I wear it when I am taking out the trash, doing yard work, and lifting heavy boxes. I wear it like a beater. It is still pristine that goes a long way in my book.

I'd keep the diver as it's not a chrono plus it has the quick strap system.
The grey dial is also more versatile for other colored straps

I would keep the 2024 diver and add the ceramic.

The 44 Offshore is large, heavy and loud with the camo combo IMO, plus the 2024 Diver is nice and casual for the times you dont want to wear a more unique piece. Plus there could be some implications with your boutique if you traded a relatively new watch like the diver. I dont think theyd care about the older models. Just my 2 cents, the new ceramic is amazing!
