If you were me, what would you do?

Ok guys here is my situation. I have 6 days off a month, two saturdays which I cherish and 4 sundays. The reason I mention my schedule is because I can not wear a watch to work so I only have 6 days when I can wear a watch. This being said I own more than 6 watches and some will get lucky to be worn once in a whole month.

This got me thinking I should slim my collection down and possibly go after a grail or something I really want. Believe it or not I sold 12 watches in the past 2 months already. But to be honest I love all my current watches and enjoy just looking at them from time to time. So I guess my first question is, is it a waste to own these watches and not even wear them?

So here is my dilemma, I am considering selling most of my collection to pursue a meters first 1680 Red Sub. This to me, would be a grail. So this would mean I would have to part ways with my 14060 obviously, V serial GMTIIC, MKII speedy, Grand Seiko Hi Beat and add some cash as I refuse to sell my Speedmaster Professional 3572.50, a watch I hope to keep forever and pass on. So my second question is, would you sell these watches to help fund a Sub 1680 Red or if you own one are you happy with it?

Finally am I the ideal candidate for a 3-4 watch guy? I am thinking 1680 red, 1655 Explorer, Speedy Pro 3572.50 and WG or Zenith or PN Daytona as my life long pursuit of grails before I die. If I got the 1680 red sub I would almost be half way there and I believe am yet to be half through my life so.....

Anyhow I guess I am on the fence and was curious to see what fellow members had to say about my current situation. Here are some photos of my collection. Thanks everyone and have a great weekend
