Critical collection mass : )

[stmoore]

Esteemed members of the forum: I have a good problem. My collection has grown to a point where several of my pieces don't get the time they should. I enjoy each piece very much, but I do not like the idea of having so many watches that don't get the wrist time they deserve.

Direction
Some like to scale out while others like to scale out (and some with unlimited budgets do both). I think I am at a point in time where I'd like to scale up.

Background
I got into this not looking to "collect." I enjoy the 114060 as a daily "banger." It has spot on time, and can work in any scenario. My 1665 mark 1 would be the last of mine to go, it's my favorite.

The Daytona and the Day Date are both classics. I think the Daytona has the second nicest dial available every (first being the Panda).

The LV is a fun watch, another spot on time piece and lastly the 1680 with a nice rolex service dial; something a little out of the norm. A great watch.

The collection
1665 - Mark 1 Maxi '78
15520 - Daytona A serial
18238 - Day Date
114060 - Submariner
1680 Red - Service Dial
16610LV F serial



Action
Not that we have that out of the way, I am thinking about dropping two to four pieces and adding a higher end piece. I already have the money stuck back for said piece, but I like to stay within my self imposed watch budget.

I am thinking about either a new gold sub, gold green faced GMT, or a 1665 double red. This will be my 35th birthday present to me.

The 1665 and 114060 stay. Other than that, all else is fair game. Many variables here, but what would you do?

Cheers!!!
