Amazing collection! If I had to keep 3 I would go PP, Daytona and SD4000. Would add the AP and BLNR to make 5. YG Day Date to make 11?

What model Pelican Case is that?

I would choose Patek, 116500ln, 116610lv... different color dials, different occasions.

I know heresy on this forum, but maybe change the SD for a FPJ Bleu?
But, honestly, I probably wouldn't change a thing. Fantastic collection man.

I would find a way to add a Seiko reissues. Sla017 or sla025, swap out the 007 for the Sla017 possibly. Possibly a DJ or president with PM or stones... a little more shine. Also would put a grand complication in there from Patek. Possibly the new Tudor BB58 cause it’s that nice.


I’m not a fan of the hulk doestn look good on me. nor the sky dweller...too much dj41 with an extra complication looks messy. I’d keep Omega moon watch but Seamaster is meh.

Beautiful collection! Top 3 for me are the Daytona, Jumbo and BLNR.
Only addition I could think of would be trading one or two towards a PM Rolex sport model (BLRO).

Splendid !
I can see you like blue. I like blue too, my favorite color. Anyway;

10 watches collection i will remove:
-actual SD for SD43 and
-replace the Omega for a Speedmaster with a date and
-replace the Seiko for a Seiko GMT and
-replace the Omega Seamaster for a Jaeger Lecoultre annual calendar ( you have enough diver’s watches but no JLC )

5 watches collection i will keep as they are:
-PP
-AP
-Sky Dweller
-GMT
-Dayto

3 watches collec. only is the toughest one:
I would pick the 3 first as they are on the picture
-PP
-AP
-Rolie Sky Dweller
Or i would pick up 3 of those Rolies cause i am a Rolie fan
-Sky Dweller
-Dayto
-GMT

Wow awesome collection, of only 3: daytona, hulk and blnr (not much of a PP guy); if only 5: Daytona, Hulk, blnr, SkyD and I guess the patek. Would replace the seiko and Omega seamstsr and add the SS Pepsi and maybe venture into panerai or ALS?

The Omega's and the seiko do not belong in this box in my opinion. If I am choosing 5 I would say Hulk, Daytona, BLNR, SkyD, Patek. if 3 go with Hulk, Daytona and Patek.

Let's start with the top 5:
  • Patek
  • AP
  • Daytona
  • Batman
  • Hulk
Those would be my 5 keepers. Skydweller is really cool, but it wouldn't make my top 5 out of that collection.

If you want to go with 10, I'd add a no date Sub (114060), and maybe 2 Patek Phillipe Callatravas (5196P & 5196J).

Keep the Omega Speedmaster. Maybe add a Panerai.

Fantastic collection!

My 3 would be 5712, 15202 and the white 500c. Perfect.

What a great collection.

I would get rid of the Seiko and the AP (though I realize that is not a popular suggestion)
To replace, I would add a dress watch which would be virtually any PP and add a vintage Turnograph (1625)

That really is a perfect collection but would like to see a Panerai- maybe replace the SD or the AP (not really a fan of the AP though others are)

Killer!!! I wouldn’t change a thing. That’s about as close to perfect as it gets. Even the Seiko Skx works brilliantly.

Tough call, for me I'd replace the Seiko for a rose gold Vacheron Patrimony which completes your 'holy trinity' and also gives you a dress watch.

LWC - I really enjoy your YouTube channel.

I really appreciate the thoughtful way you communicate what I love so much about this hobby. Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into it.

Also - absolutely amazing collection.

If I would add one more thing it would be a Lange.

Hard to critique a collection like that. Think you’re definitely heavy in the steel sports Rolex, especially since a few share very similar cases. I’d probably drop the BLNR for a Pepsi GMT and look to pick up a pm dress watch

Superb collection
Potentially, if I had to keep three, it would be:
5712
Sky-Dweller
Hulk or maybe the 4,000

I don't know if I could narrow it down but I would think with 5 it would be.
Daytona C, Speedy Tuesday, BLNR, Patek, and the Hulk.

Great collection!

What would you change ( add / remove) without going more than 10.

What if you have to choose 5 ?

What about only 3 ?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Lovely collection and as others have said appreciate you sharing content online. I think the new white gold GMT with the blue dial would be a great addition to your collection and to take a step in to precious metal. I bet you’d love this piece too given your focus on blue so far! I’d loose the hulk as not a green fan and also the Omega GMT and Sky Dweller to create funds towards this PM move. You say you’re 90% done, what else are you considering as ultimately this is your collection and no one else’s!
