The Rolexes you got are great, and the Omegas and Cartier you got are great. What a collection!

Sounds right! Thanks for the intel.

The No Time To Die one is probably the most comfortable watch I own. The titanium makes it so light and the color way just makes it a really unique piece.

The 60th Bond watch has an animated caseback and a gorgeous box. It’s stainless and not too unique in design but as a Bond fan, I couldn’t NOT get it

Wear these in good health and warm welcome to the community.

Thank you. 2 years later it’s still a bit weird sometimes and holidays hit a bit hard but you learn to get used to it.

She was only 59 so you get the feeling you were robbed a bit especially since I have a young son and she would have had a blast with him.

I truly appreciate this community. Didn’t think I’d be getting so personal here

How do you find the white dial datejust with the roman numerals?

If you had to keep one b/w the Cartier Santos and the Datejust, which one would it be?

Lovely watches you have there, and sorry to hear about your loss.

Consolidating a few that you don't wear or love as much for a nice PM piece might be a good idea!

I’m thinking Moonshjne Gold Speedy with green dial, Daytona or Day Date.

I got the white dial on a walk in. I had a DJ with fluted bezel and jubilee on my list at another AD then came across this when I was killing time while my wife was shopping at the mall.

As far as which one I’d choose…I couldn’t answer that. I’d definitely wear the DJ more but I like how the Cartier diversifies things a bit.

Great Collection! I just consolidated as well and am down to 4. If your going to get a center piece in PM I’d suggest a YG Sub Bluesy or a WG Daytona OF

I’d like a Daytona or Day Date (especially with the green dial ).

Where did you end up selling? I’ve never really sold before and want to maximize my return and reduce my risk.

Great collection! I traded my NTTD recently due to legibility, but I do miss that piece bc it was very comfortable.

Thanks! I love that watch. The titanium makes it so lightweight. I’m also a big 007 fan.

Some cheap ones on Amazon. My main watch box wouldn’t fit in the safe so I got these to stack them.

I can find the link if you’d like.

Nice collection. I've always thought the mesh bracelets looked cool. That being said, I would sell 3 of the Omegas and the TT DJ and add a Day-Date.

I plan on selling the white dial Seamaster. I’d love to sell the two tone DJ but I have a feeling I’m going to end up losing on that one.

I have it listed for retail in the classifieds section.

Good question. I sold off a couple I wasn’t wearing (Not Rolex watches) to buy the new WG Daytona OF. I do consignment at a place here in Scottsdale along with Bobs watches, I’ve had a great experience with both
