What’s the reason for the love of the IWC? It’s a cool watch!

Congrats on the Bluesy, it’s a beautiful reference

In terms of which watches to move, I agree with you that the DJ41 and Seamaster 300M would be the ones to go if it were my collection too. As far as the Speedy, I felt the same way about the bracelet fit. Omega falls really short in making a good steel bracelet IMO. Once I swapped it out with this Omega strap/deployant from the 45th Anniversary Apollo 13 Speedy it changed the entire look and feel of the watch and I would be hard pressed to move it from my collection

I would keep the BLNR & DJ and flip the rest to fund mentioned Bluesy. Super trio then.

sell BLNR - can sell for above retail, sell SM since you are getting a sub, sell DJ just because.

if I were you, I would sell speedmaster and SM300m. DJ is bit of a dressy piece in your collection, so it seems to have its place.

Explorer is a great watch, I would have kept it. And that IWC is very cool peice and something bit different to the usual crowd.

Your initial thought as to which to drop may be your best option. It’s a very subjective topic. You cannot replace those things that have sentimental attachment to you.
