Collection adjustments… Opinions needed

[Daniel23456]

Hey all,

So following my other thread, I have been thinking about some possible adjustments and I am thinking about selling my 124270 & 14060m and adding a 16014 unpolished example with tapestry dial.

I will then have the following:

- 226570 (EXPII)
- 16710 (GMT)
- 16660 (Sea Dweller) as a diver
- 16014 (DJ 36mm) as a dress watch
- 3590.50 Omega Speedmaster

How often will you need a dress watch? For a long time I considered a "proper" dress watch.

I have an ongoing analysis and in 2022 there was only one instance where a dress watch was needed.

None in 2023 and in 2024 only once (black tie which doesn't call for a watch anyway)

So there is no way I'm parking my money or parting ways with something I enjoy over something that I'll wear once a year at most.

I love divers and I can't get enough of them!

I personally would keep the 14060M

the explorer and sub both trump the DJ for me.

I'd keep them both. The DJ is nice but its quite plain Jane.

Yup, I agree that a proper dress watch is not actually needed, but a DJ is not exactly a proper dress watch, I guess. It has a bracelet and a 100m WR which can be worn quite casually too, but be on the dressier side.

Would be very hard saying goodbye to this one, but realistically there’s no way I am parting with my 16660 so it would be two divers

I used to think that as well, but the amount of variety you can get with a DJ, so many dial/bezels/bracelets combinations is very appealing.

Easy one for me, sell the 226570

I’m with him. I’d rather give this up, than the Sub and Explorer 1. I do think a nice Datejust would add some class to your collection. However, there are much nicer dials than the tapestry dial.

I think that I like my 226570 better than my 14060m

I agree. I wear my datejust with casual clothes. I did opt for a smooth bezel with jubilee bracelet which makes me feel like it can be worn down.

I’d use the 124270 as a dress watch for the odd occasion I needed it and no way I’d part with the 14060M.

I realise you’ve not asked a question so this is a random thought, not an answer!

That is something to consider!

Tapestry dials are amazing, especially with a fluted bezel. I have a 14060m that I wouldn't trade due to the sub history and no date simplicity.

I had this same thought but you said it first. Well done.

[0nly5iv3Digits]

I would also vote to keep the 14060M.

But as far as the 16014 - ABSOLUTELY 100% yes!!!! But I'd personally be after a linen dial. The Tapestry dials don't do it for me like the linen dials do!

Good luck :D
