So I'm looking to thin the collection down a bit and can't decide which one should go. Currently I have a Steelfish, Skyland Avenger (white stencil version), and a Crosswind Special (with big date).

I am definitely keeping the Steelfish as it gets most of the wrist time. So it comes down to the Skyland Avenger and Crosswind Special. I'm torn because I like both but one needs to go. :(

Cws is much more versatile, if you aren't swayed by everyone that has responded giving the same answer, then I'd say you prefer the skyland, so why not keep that?

I much prefer the Avenger. The Crosswind looks dated to me.

Well looks like the general consensus is to keep the CWS. I was split down the middle but now am leaning towards selling the avenger. Thanks guys.

Another vote for keeping the CWS. Not that there's anything wrong with the Avenger : it's just that the CWS is the more interesting watch.
