[Discussion] Help me build a 3-watch collection

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on reshaping my watch collection. I currently have five watches and want to narrow it down to a stronger, more balanced three-watch collection.

My two favorites, and the ones I’m most likely to keep, are:

  1. Bulgari Octo Finissimo blue dial — ref.

103301
2. Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Titanium — ref. 226627

The other two watches currently in the mix are:

  1. Omega Speedmaster Professional — ref. 310.30.42.50.01.002
  2. Rolex GMT-Master II “Bruce Wayne” — ref. 126710GRNR

The watch I’m planning to sell is:

  1. Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Small Seconds — ref. Q3858522

A few notes:

  1. The Reverso is almost certainly going. I like it, but it just doesn’t get enough wrist time.
  2. I’m unsure about the GMT-Master II, mainly because it feels somewhat close in role to the Yacht-Master.
  3. I’m open to selling three watches and adding one new piece if that creates a more balanced final lineup.

My current shortlist, roughly in order of interest:

  1. Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor — ref. PFC914-1020001-100182
  2. Grand Seiko Heritage Collection Master Shop Limited Spring Drive “Oyuki Miyuki” — ref. SBGA445
  3. MING 17.09 Blue — ref. 17.09
  4. NOMOS Glashütte Metro Neomatik — ref. 1165
  5. Rolex Explorer 36mm — ref. 124270
  6. IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic 36 — ref. IW324010
  7. Cartier Santos Titanium - ref. WSSA0089

Thanks in advance — I’d really appreciate the community’s thoughts.
