Satisfied for now, thank God . . . .

I have been through a lot of watches over the past 2+ years and have narrowed the keepers down to these. Waiting for one more that has been on order for a half year but once that's in, I think/hope these will work for awhile. Anyone else pretty much satisfied with what they own? Hope you enjoy my pics!

I’d hope you would be satisfied with that lot!
I feel like a Glashutte Original could comfortably slip in there as well!

thanks guys!

the suggestions are all good ones but looking at more watches is what I am trying to avoid - ha! I suppose it never ends, but at least it has slowed down for me and I am thankful for that . . . .

Awesome collection there!

I think I'm finally done or at least on the right track. I just let go of 2 watches to get a YM and since I got it, I've never taken it off. I don't want to say I'm "done" because who knows what will happen in the future BUT, I'm definitely done with buying a lot of little watches that fit a niche or catch my fancy temporarily. I'm more into looking for that one ultimate all-around watch and for now, I'm totally satisfied with the YM.

I am actually in the process of further culling the herd, for another good watch, something to compliment the YM. In the future, at least I'll have 2 great watches to offer in case of a trade, rather than have one good watch and a bunch of low-value ones.

You have some nice pieces, too! Looks like we are in the same boat - "done for now" but like you say, "who knows . . .". Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic watches there.

I recently did the same thing and offloaded 4 watches, kept 2 and added 1. I ended up with 3 that I think should keep me satisfies for a while. I love each of them.

My collection of 3:
