If you had to cut your collection down to three pieces, what would you choose?

I like a little color. I think these 3 cover all the bases. Land, air, and sea.

A black dial with lume and a chrono complication


A crisp clean white dial with a date complication and romans makes it more interesting to look at

Lange 1 moon phase

Very well done! In a similar boat where I’m winding it down to a Daytona, GMT, and Submariner for my Rolex collection.

Very nice! I have the same two Daytonas. Contemplating moving the OF - tough one though because I do really enjoy it.

Cool! I think the OF are not getting the plaudits it deserves.
I'm heading the opposite direction though. The SS Daytona will be replaced if/when the 116519 meteorite arrives as I am more interested in rubber strap/PM case combination these days.

I’m not there yet but I would keep my 126610LV, then add a BLRO and a sapphire speedmaster in that order.

If I had to cut mine collection down to 3 pieces, I would keep my 116506, 126619 , and the 126719 meteorite, which is my AD is waiting for but if we're being honest, there are several other pieces I would not let go either. I applaud anyone who can keep their collection down to 3 as I love the spice of changing watches with moods, events.
