Let me start by saying I never meant to reach 12 watches. I brought the SRPD73K1 and the GA2100 to replace an older smart watch that I didn’t like using any longer. Many have been through the collection and it could easily have been more watches sat in this picture.

It’s definitely the first time I’ve looked at what I had an I’ve wondered why I have so many and I’m mainly wearing the SSK001 these days so I’m seriously considering selling all but that.

I think I’m mainly questioning myself at this point and whether I can truly justify keeping 12 or whether any of you fellow enthusiasts would suggest trimming it down a little bit.

Any input would be appreciated!

    I’m mostly in agreement with you.

    I’d swap the traditionally finished jubilee bracelet on the GMT with the all brushed jubilee next to it. Speaking from experience of owning both, full brushed jubilee is way more versatile, ages more gracefully, and is so much easier to restore.

    I could take or leave the blue field watch… Busier dials like that are just not my thing at all.

    I might swap the gray g-shock for an identical model but in a darker color, if I was dead set on having a g-shock.

    But for my own lifestyle, I’d probably sell everything but the GMT and get myself a tasteful Explorer or Datejust homage from a microbrand as a daily - such as a Lorier Falcon or Astra, or Traska Commuter. Those watches work in virtually every situation and have the better water resistance than the Seiko 5. If they’re worn daily, there’s no need to worry about setting them and, if you ever do, it takes no time at all.
