Hi fellow TRF's

Sometimes the collection becomes a bit big for only one wrist. And as time goes by, you are blessed enough to acquire more special pieces.

From this roster, I need to let go of 3. Thoughts? Opinions? I have a clear idea of what I'm going to do but maybe you guys see something I might be missing. Fire away please and as always... thanks in advance. I have also posted this in the PP Forum to contrast some reactions.

Goodbye to : Aquanaut, Daytona and Millenary

Manofsteelpt · 7 September 2015, 04:00 AM

Naut, ROC and Mil for me...

PJ S · 7 September 2015, 04:24 AM

Retain the Daytona, ROC and Nautilus, although even in that group, I'd be looking to replace the Daytona with something else, rather than having two sports chronos.

Truth be told, I'd want to end up with a VC Overseas Chrono, AP RO 15300/15400, so only the 5711 gets to stay by virtue that the VCO would be the grey sunburst and the 15400 can be black or blue.
Assuming you need a more formal style piece on leather, then a Glashutte Original Senator or H Moser. You could spend even less on a Zenith Captain or Bucherer Manero.
If you still wanted leather but not quite so formal, then the GO Seventies would be a good alternative to give the collection a nice bit of variety.

Flex368 · 7 September 2015, 04:27 AM

Daytona, Millenary and Jules Audemars Chrono.

SMD · 7 September 2015, 04:35 AM

Millenary and Daytona for sure. For the last one either the Jules or Aqua, which one will depend on which you wear more -- Jules is a bit more unique in that you don't see many of them, and the version you have is my favorite amongst the various iterations.

daytonaTBR · 7 September 2015, 05:27 AM

For me, I would keep the ROC, Nautilus, and Aquanaut.

agsstructures · 7 September 2015, 05:31 AM

Keep the nautilus and roc. Sell the other 4 and get a white gold sub or Pepsi gmt.

GB-man · 7 September 2015, 06:43 AM

Daytona millenary and ROC for me

I would do exactly this.
I would personally get a WG sub to have PM in the collection.
Would also flip the ROC for a 15202; That is just me though. White nautilus with an AP jumbo are an amazing pair.

What was on our mind to do?

brettpaul · 7 September 2015, 07:27 AM

Millenary, Aquanaut, and Jules.

That's a serious collection! I echo the multitude that said bye bye to the Aquanaut, Daytona and Millernary. The PP could go if you like the Nautilus chorno or moonphase for later and that ROC is what I say is one of the two prettiest. The other being the brown dialled one of the same ilk. You've got a problem on your hand with that decision. I only wish I had the same problem. Good luck!

I love my Daytona and that gray red racing dial is my favorite. Will be trading my SS for the WG slate racing dial on leather soon.

Would absolutely 500% keep the Daytona and the panda dial ROC

DCgator · 7 September 2015, 11:42 AM

I'd say adios to Aquanaut, Daytona and Millenary.

SpunkyQ8 · 7 September 2015, 11:43 AM

Royal Oak, Daytona and Millenary

As so u get to keep 5711 for its great simplicity and hard acquisition
Jules for rarety
And aquanaut for all round sports watch that sums up a to great divergent

imo

bayerische · 7 September 2015, 06:03 PM

Get rid of the Daytona, Nautilus (I don't like the white dial version) and the Millenary.

You'll be left with a pretty damn tight set.

conkers · 7 September 2015, 06:21 PM

Sell the lot and start again. I do this every couple of years and find it very cathartic!

redsubby · 7 September 2015, 06:25 PM

The 3 AP's.

csi-n · 7 September 2015, 10:27 PM

Really tough question Logan. I think it's going to heavily depend on what you want to do next. You have 6 nice pieces

and 3 must go, so what's coming in and how many? Looking for dressy or sporty? Apologies for bombarding back with questions.

Sam

abnerc15 · 7 September 2015, 11:58 PM

I would agree with most... The Aquanaut, Daytona & Millenary would be the 3 that make way...

Abdullasaif · 8 September 2015, 12:56 AM

5711,5167 and daytona

As much as I like the uniqueness of the Millernary, I agree with this.
