I thought I would share my collection as it stands today. Tomorrow it might be different :)

I like the variety, but I do feel that at least two pieces have to go. Choosing which one is like choosing a which child goes to the orphanage. The Doxa, Motors, and Debaufre have sentimental value and therefore can not be sold.

I'm not really asking which watches to sell, I'll figure that out myself, but I do welcome any comments on the collection.

What an f$$king beautiful collection! Too many black dials for me but I like your taste! Love the Bentley and Chronomat and the PAM!

Great Picture!

Very nice Mark! :thumbsup:

Oh and I know you're not asking for advice on which to sell, but what the hell, I'm gonna say my opinion anyway :wink: - given the ones you need to keep due to sentimental reasons, of the ones you have left I reckon the ones to consider shifting has to be either the Chronomat, the Omega or the Panerai. The Ploprof and the SDDS are just waaaaaaaaaaaay too nice to move. (Just my own opinion of course! :D )

You are right on... the Deepsea and the ploprof are permanent. I know that I shouldn't say this because things change... but I can say with 99.9% certainty that unless I fall on hard financial times, I can't imagine any way I could sell the Deepsea or Ploprof. They are both pinnacles of Dive watch evolution.

As for the other three... still not an easy choice. I'm thinking the Evo will go first, and then I'll try and hold tight for a while.

Mark

Very nice collection there Mark. :bow: I was assuming that you would have more Lings in your stable....and ironically after assuming that and seeing that they are not the ruling brand in your collection, I would agree the Evo would be my first to go as well.
I think having one Panerai in the collection is a must, I love the POC for a sporty watch with just enough color, the SDDS is a nice classy piece...it starts to get tough thinking about what must go to have something new come in, especially when your collection starts to get limited to pieces that you really dont want to ever move on.
Thanks for sharing the photo! Now go and fix that bezel!! :poke:

It's not too often I look at a collection and think every one was a good choice, but that is the case here! It's actually pretty kicka$$. :nutkick:

Awesome collection Mark! You have very good tatse my friend.

I agree with Diver, the DSSD, PAM, and Ploprof are keepers! Though I really like the Chronomat too!

I would say that Omega (though nice, I have one) is the least worthy.
