Which ones to keep?

I have been mostly a lurker on these forums and have accumulated a decent collection of PAMs. I am looking to diversify my watch collection as it is very PAM heavy now. I have a 292 and 359 that I wear in rotation which I don't plan to sell. I also have 372, 390, 417, 448, and 587 that I haven't worn and just sitting in the safe.

My rationale is that I will keep two of the 47MM which will be 587 and 372 and the two that I have in rotation. In this option, I will sell the 390, 417 and 448.

292 is my first PAM and holds some value to me. 359 I just really love the look and wear it often. The reason I am finally posting is I would like to hear your thought process on what you will likely keep and why. Perhaps there may be a reason that I am not thinking of. I was a die hard PAM fan but interest has been waning a bit.

Thanks in advance for the discussion.

Keep all except the 390 and 417 JMHO
you love the 292 and 359 so keep them for mental value
then you still have the modern vintage line up of 47s :
372/587/448 then perhaps you can somewhat add on to complete the
Fantastic 5?

292, 359 and one of 372 or 587 would be a real solid trio. : thumbsup:

Thanks guys! I have decided to sell the 390 and 417 for now. Maybe trading it in for a SD4k.

I'd keep the 587.372 and 448.

The 292 can be your daily beater.the 352/390 can both be easily replaced

In what brands are you considering buying? I was also a Pam fan but since I got my first Patek that all changed

I am working on getting an Omega Speedmaster 9300 and maybe a SD4000. It will be my first Omega and looking forward to it. I don't have the funds for a Patek at the moment but been browsing the Patek sub-forum quite a bit. I just don't want to trade all my watches for 1 Patek. lol. I just wanted more variety in my collection I guess.
