All together



Rarely do I get all of my watches out. Not sure why I did today, but seeing as how much I enjoy other threads I thought I would try to add something to the forum.

Yes I know that there are three 16710, though they are all different. A holes SEL, two no holes, one of which is a Z3186, acquired long before the madness!

The 116520 was worn for many years. The 116660 was also a daily for around 9 months, since I bought the 116719 nothing else has had a look in, that feels like a shame, the thought occurs that maybe I should sell some, but I do not want to, they are not exactly depreciating, and whilst slightly lazy assets I have owned a lot worse!

Any thoughts or comments about why I should keep or sell may be good to hear.

Cheers! G&W

You could certainly thin out the GMT herd.

That's a nice collection! If selling some I'd consider parting with 2 of the 16710s and adding an additional bezel insert. The Daytona could go on the chopping block as well. D-Blue would be a keeper.

This is not a bad idea

Great collection. Agree on selling 2 of the ss gmts and getting an extra insert for when you want to change the look.

So it seems the consensus is to reduce the number of 16710's.
I have thought about doing this and as many suggested buying the alternative inserts, even though I think that this is a good idea I cannot bring myself to sell, as they are all quite different to me. The fat lady Pepsi is so good in the flesh that it must stay, the faded f series coke looks great, that leaves the z 3186, so maybe that one whilst prices are so high, though what if they go higher!? I am a lost cause!

Sounds like the WG has been a bit of a game-changer, so how about adding another, Daytona Blue dial or the new WG on OF? Let the SS go and/or one of the GMTs. Or a WG Blue Subc.

i would suggest selling the daytona but I'm guessing you would just end up with another GMT

Your WG GMT is my personal favorite, but if multiple GMT's are your thing then enjoy them
