Re: what's your first (only?) "outgoing" watch for next year
I keep thinking I should sell the solar diver as it really isn't doing anything for me but think it may be more trouble than it's worth.
Gwells let me know when you're ready to sell the Rodina, you've mentioned a few times that you are considering selling and each time you do I go back and look at Josh's review and think I would like one.

Re: what's your first (only?) "outgoing" watch for next year
I plan to methodically wear and assess each of my watches over the next month to decide which I really love and which I'm happy to let go. So I will know more in a few weeks, but a likely early departure this year is my C3 Cream Mk1. But I may give it to my son for his birthday rather than sell it.
Another I'm thinking of letting go is my C60GMT Orange Bezel, but I need to think about that a bit more!

Probably the C10 FLE but not sure what to replace it with yet.

Re: what's your first (only?) "outgoing" watch for next year
The SM500 was always top of the exit list, but recently I've been wearing it more and enjoying its heft and clarity. One reason why it doesn't get worn as often as others is that it is a bit of pain to set/wind (as is the MBII), due to the offset crown. It's a small (and frankly, pathetic) problem, but it does deter me from choosing it when time is tight. That's one reason for considering a winder....Dancematt wrote:Bremont Supermarine or Sinn UX?downer wrote:Having sold three last week, I reckon I'm gonna have a period of stability.

Re: what's your first (only?) "outgoing" watch for next year
Not really looking to sell at the moment. I do have one or two that don't get worn much, but frankly they're not worth that much either and I don't really mind if they only get worn once a month or so - it's nice to have them, to ring the changes and say "I really like this one, and I'm glad I kept it."
I see people talking about "quality in", an I'm interested to see how that progresses for individuals.
For myself, I consider that I have a fair amount of quality in the box, but it's "old" quality, if you see what I mean, with the Omegas, Longines, Leonidas &c.
My only "quality" modern watch (going by the definitions I think are current) is my Nomos, which is certainly a keeper.
So, nothing out, keep thinking "Speedy" and see how it goes.

Re: what's your first (only?) "outgoing" watch for next year
I've been thinking of parting ways with my Seiko 6309-7290 blue dial diver since I've moved the mesh bracelet to my Laguna now and have the blue dial C600 also, the Seiko doesn't get worn much.

The rubber strap it came on is not comfortable so I just have it on a black Seiko nylon strap now. However, it isn't worth that much so I might just keep it as a beater, or give it to my friend's son who is starting High School this coming fall. Maybe get him into automatic watches at a young age.

Re: what's your first (only?) "outgoing" watch for next year
My quartz Omega SMP was sold this week and now in its place is a Breitling Aerospace. Theres always room in my small collection for a decent quartz.
Re: what's your first (only?) "outgoing" watch for next year
Just moved out my Victorinox Ambassador XL blue hand wind two days prior to Christmas to fund an incoming. So only a flip if the incoming does not work out.

Re: what's your first (only?) "outgoing" watch for next year
With a broken heart, I'm letting my C11 Mercedes and another 4 go. Now it's been 16 watches in exchange of the Pam 119 and I downsized my collection to the adequate number of 6 (and 2 quartz). So, if I want to buy anything, something will have to go.

Sorry to hear of the C11 Mercedes departure Luiz
But I understand your reasoning behind it.
