I've been toying with the idea of getting myself a 1680 Sub.

Like others on this forum, I can't afford to keep all of my watches. Therefore, you probably understand the dilema. I need to sell one or maybe two, to help raise funds.

Here are some options...

Datejust TT 16233
Explorer Polar 16570 Z-Serial.
Submariner 14060M P-Serial.
GMT 16750
Tudor Snowflake 94110.

I'd ditch the Explorer (not a fan of the modern ones at all), and/or the Sub (as you'll be getting a much cooler sub :)

Otherwise, you have a nice variety with the DJ, GMT and Snowflake.

I would get rid of the 14060 and the snowflake. Once you have the 1680 I doubt they would get any wrist time if your in the "Sub" mood. That way you leave yourself a well rounded collection since all you others have a different style.

16570, easy to replace if you decide you miss it

Rickster · 3 November 2011, 08:08 AM

tough choice but the explorer I'd say

subtona · 3 November 2011, 08:14 AM

never an easy choice.
maybe easiest to get rid of the one you didn't buy yet?

I would second this opinion.

Well, I guess get rid of the ones that least appeal to you and get the least wrist time since you have quite a variety there!

drockadam · 3 November 2011, 11:51 AM

If it my choice, I would let the Polar Explorer go. Go for the 1680!

skyedog · 3 November 2011, 12:33 PM

get rid of the TT... just my 2 cents

tudorlex · 3 November 2011, 12:36 PM

move the 2 subs, you will be replacing them with another 1.

Thank you all for you feedback. However, you are all making this very hard.

How many times have you put on a watch that you haven't held in a long while and said to yourself "I could never let you go". I guess this is how many of our collections continue to grow.

Thanks for all your input, but I think I have hit the end of the road, for now. I'm going to pass on a 1680, and enjoy my current collection as is. I just can't seem to part with either of these pieces, and I don't want to spend another dime!

Someday when I hit the lottery, I will own something else, but for now I'm going to enjoy what I have. No safe queens either!
