Watches

If it was me I would ditch the two Seiko 5s and the Citizen Quartz along with the CasioOak. Keep the rest. But, it's a pretty solid collection and if you enjoy them all than I would say keep them but a one in/one out or one in/ two out policy going forward.

I do like retro watches must most of these watches have 1970s vibes. I like 1950s and early 1960s vibe in watches. Also i like faux patina and dont like white and silver hands on watches.... Yeah, I would sell all of it.

Top row, from the left: second and fourth Bottom row, from the left: first, second and third I would sell these.

Sell all, keep one G shock for SHTF scenario/gift and one nice one. Indecisive between Citizen or Bulova.

What’s the one in the bottom row left of the white dial called? 🔥

Sell them all and get an oris, maybe a CW

I would sell all of them and get one nice watch.

I'd sell them all and just get 1 watch that's nicer than all of them.

Trim down and upgrade

I would definitely trim/upgrade. Keep the SSK since thats what you wear and one of the gshocks. Maybe another watch if anythings senitmental.

Thats like 9 watches you can sell off. Use that money and buy 1 nicer watch.

I would sell them all for higher priced watches, less is more

White dial Seiko 5 and the blue dial Seiko SNK80x.

Sell them all for a PRX

I mean you’re not gonna get much for any of these watches, even combined.

Genuinely curious: what led you to get both the Seiko GMT and the Seiko Diver? I get that they have different functions and the GMT has the magnified date window, but other than that they’re identical. I’m new to collecting and curious about what other collectors consider

Too much overlap. Would drive me crazy.

Get rid of the speedy knock off

Sell all (or keep one), get one GS/Seiko Promaster as a daily. In the end you only have one hand to wear those.

Whatever the speedmaster homage is, get rid of it

You have a lot of similar watches and some that just aren't my style. I would narrow it down to this:

Keep these dump the rest

I would definitely trim some fat. Then you have cash on hand to get something new that catches your eye, or to use for some different straps

Keep the GMT, the pro master, the white citizen, and your favorite gshock. Maybe the Seiko at the bottom too for a small beater. Then if you decide to upgrade or expand later, you’ll be in a better place for either

Flightmaster really stands from the crowd

I would say get rid of white citizen, Pagani and bulova

I'd keep the Flightmaster. The rest isnt completely my style, although i also somewhat like the Seiko GMT und the Citizen Diver in the top, second frem left.

Man, that speedy homage is criminal 😅

As others have noted, there's a lot of overlap—and additionally for me a bunch of stuff I'm not very interested in or which wouldn't fit me well, so I'd keep only:

• The SRPD73K1: it's nicest-looking dive-style watch of the bunch.
• The Flightmaster: I did all my engineering labs using a slide rule even though it was the 1990s and even the professors thought this was ridiculous; the bezel-size circular slide rule might be too small to be genuinely useful, but it's still very cool.
• Maybe the SNK80x: it's cute and small (but really: three Seikos?)
• The PD-1701: I actually have (and prefer) the PD-1644, but you can't beat the Pagani Design photocopier + Seiko mechaquartz movements for value: inexpensive, amazing specs, don't need winding, the ticking small seconds is unobtrusive.
• Maybe the Bulova Surveyor: I'd prefer (and indeed actually own) a vintage tuning-fork Accutron, but the smooth sweep of the Precisionist quartz movement is cool and reliable too, and with lume and a quartz movement this is a perfect grab-and-go GADA watch.

So, that means saying bye bye to:

• The small Citzen quartz: a sensible size but I'm not a big fan of this PRX-like look.
• The Citizen diver: the only actual dive watch, but it doesn't float my boat alas.
• The Citizen C7 NH8391-51EE: I actually like the look of this one better than the Surveyor, but it's in the same category (black dial GADA watch), has much less lume, and will not be useful as a grab-and-go watch.
• The SSK001: just too similar to (but not as nice as) the SRPD73K1
• Both G-Shocks: just too chunky for my wrist, alas—but I'd keep the 2100 if only it was more like 38mm.
• The small white-dial Seiko 5: I like the white dial but are those gold hands? Also, you already have enough Seikos, and you definitely don't need two with the non-hacking 7S26 movement.

(If I were you, though, I'd keep the SSK001 rather than the SRPD73K1, and at least one of the G-Shocks.)

What would I get instead? Mainly I'd say that you seem to have quite a bunch of $100–$300 watches, and I think you should consider moving towards fewer but nicer pieces.

• Something from Tissot (e.g. PRX, Gentlman) or Hamilton (e.g. Khaki, Murph) would be an obvious choice.
• You seem like Citizen, and I hear they make some great radio-controlled solar quartz watches—the ultimate in set-and-forget. Jody loves his Chronomaster AQ4030-51A, but if $2K is a bit steep there are other options.

You need more variety. All of your watches just kind of blend together and nothing really stands out. I'd keep the white g shock and seiko gmt and sell everything else.

If it was me, I'd keep the Seiko SSK001 and sell off everything else.

do what you want lol. If you do want to get rid I would say get rid of watches from the same company so you have a variety in that regard

Honestly would probably only keep the chronograph and sell the rest.

The effort to sell inexpensive watches would do me in. I’d just give them away to friends.

Get rid of all but three. A G Shock, A Dressier and one of the sports watch's. After those three just get nicer piece's.

I’m not sure about that bulova but I’m not a fan of fashion watches. Lots of overlap like everyone said

You should sell the Flightmaster

Preferably to me

You do you, don't come to the internet to ask what to do and be told what to do. Our opinions are subjective and shouldn't matter to you (baring technical advice). That being said, and you having come here to be told what to do: Sell them all. All are ugly, irrelevant, or both.

Yeah, the GMT is probably the better looking of the lot (but do you really need and use the GMT?), and the white G-Shock is the most useful, I'd keep the G-Shock but I cycle, run, swim whenever I can, etc. The Flightmaster probably isn't irrelevant, but who needs a watch like that?

Set up a raffle where people can enter for $1. First winner gets first pick and so on until they’re all gone. Get a big enough audience, and you’ll be able to afford a really nice watch in no time. Beats trying to sell them individually.

On my preference i would sell all and go for a nice used omega as a daily...

First identify (for yourself) what is unique about each watch. Write it down. Then you will be prepared to make a decision. Through this exercise, you may find that you like many of them more than you thought, and ones that look similar may take on a new uniqueness based on nuanced details.

Lovely watches.

How many do you actually need? Which ones get the most wrist time?

Of those, you probably need two or three. Sell the rest and invest in something that will yield a proper return or buy a nice piece of art for your wall.

I'd sell all of them except the newer casio, and the blue faced Citizens diver and spend the $$$ on something nicer...maybe a Longines, Sinn, or Chris Ward, but thats me, I never have more than 3 watches at a time, and i don't like busy watches, or field watches

Not really a ton of aftermarket gains from most of these. Just hold em and appreciate them, save up for the next one.

You have a few pieces that I like. A couple years ago I almost got one of those Citizen day dates next to the promaster, I don’t know the ref. And I have a ny0040 promaster. But since you asked, I would say sell everything except the flighty and start over. A while back I sold about 20 of my old quartz and some autos that I wasn’t wearing; to fund a couple mid tier pieces. Recently I have been contemplating selling everything and getting an Aqua Terra as a 1 watch collection. For example having something like 6 watches will help to prolong servicing but eventually they will all require maintenance within something like 20 years since the oils will dry up over time despite how much or little you’ve worn them. It’s something to consider if you are an enthusiast on a budget like myself and probably a lot of us. My thinking is, an AT that will theoretically need a service every 10 years which from what I’ve heard is about $700; may be cheaper than maintaining 6 over time. Plus you might get more enjoyment from one badass piece that you wear all the time and collects a lifetime of memories. You obviously don’t have to follow this advice, it’s just where I’m at on my journey but it does seem like a common place to get to after collecting for a while. Anyways good luck with the collection.

Honestly, this is so personal that I'd say, take a note of how much you wear each one over the course of about a month. Those with no or little wrist time consider selling
