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.

This isn't going to be an easy decision.

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.
