I have been thinking about doing this recently with my collection have a similar amount of steel watches as you described. Curious to know how you went about doing this, did you trade them/sell them etc etc?

Yes love the Milgauss. I had the Air King, like it but sold during consolidation.

I sold the steel Rolexes to some dealers, and then also bought the PMs from them. Fortunately they gave me good deals for all the watches. Plus I bought them a few years back when prices were more reasonable. These were some of the SS pieces before consolidation. I got some platinum and YG and no regret.

Smurf is interesting. I am also tempted by a 16618 blue purple dial.

Lots of variety there, even with three Milgaus as they're each so unique.

Nicely done

Nice collection! I see you have quite a few milgauss (milgausses?). I like them but are not a popular choice. What do you see in them? Just curious.

I select watches to wear mostly depending on occasions so it is pretty easy to decide. That said I also just pick the one I want to wear.

Yes, for those whose incomes not or not much affected by the pandemic. Spare cash also because many people are still unsure about investing whether in stocks or properties...

Milgauss are simple but sophisticated, handsome, beautiful. Technically intriguing.
Very comfortable to wear. The white dial is my favorite.

Those are great watches.

I also have the platinum and green dial YG Daytonas. Current eyeing a YG Sub 5 digit blue purple dial.

I force myself to wear the watches for 1 to 2 weeks at a time. By mid second week I already have an idea which one is gonna be next...It comes naturally to me.
