If you had to give up one of your watches in your collection...

If you had to give up one of your watches in your collection, which one would you give up?

I'll start, my white DJ with roman letters, no way will i ever part with the blue DJ with 18k bezel b/c that watch was given to my from my father. and i just love my Sub C way too much.

Dssd is my least favorite but it also means the most to me. That said I'm not selling any of them. But after I get my AP I might flip my SubC for a LVc to try it out.

I would get rid of my Hamilton if I had to. You didn't say if it had to be a Rolex

I like all my watches. It is a lot of money, time and effort to acquire some of them. It is also a lot of hassle to sell a watch. My least favourite watch in my collection is a Tudor 89190P. If the new SS Ceramic Daytona comes out, this will be the watch I am selling! This will mean I have to wear an Explorer/ Sub C to work and gym!

Good one. I forgot I had one of those in a closet somewhere that I could get rid of instead of my TT Bluesy. I guess I would do the same...

Hmmm. The only true keeper for me is my beloved Speedie Pro. Maybe the Daytona as it has really grown on me. My LV and GMT are expendable...I guess the fact that they're FS proves that point. Hehe.

Breitling Colt.

I'm really not a fan of my Breitling colt. Was given to me by an ex gf who I later found out got her brother to choose and buy it for her. I know looking down on a Breitling gift sounds bad but this is from a girl who has a "Restaurant credit card" which she spent Ł26,000 on last year. She spent less than Ł1,000 on the colt.

The other watch I have is a JLC given to me by my parents so you can have that when you pull it of my dead wrist.

My Breitling BO1, as beautiful as she is, would go, as it would be extremely difficult to part with my Rolexes.

Hmmm, hard decision. But if I HAD to make a choice, I'd give up my SS Daytona as I've now got a RG Daytona. My watches are jewelry, so if I've got a precious metal version of a model, then I guess I don't need the SS version. If I had to make a second choice, it'd lose the GMT-IIc as I have a green Sub.

Seiko 5 SNZH57 made in japan version- late night purchase with the intention of doing a Blancpain "fifty fathoms mod". Arrived several weeks ago and put it in the closet. Reminds me, I should check to see if the watch is in the box.

Good thing I still have the watch from when I was 20. I would get rid of my Swiss army watch. Even though it's a TROOPER.
