A very quick SOTC and a request for thoughts...
There have been a few changes of late, but this is how it stands at present (I'll forgo the usual narrative, which I'm sure gets boring after a while):

This is currently on SC, so let's assume it's gone (if it doesn't, there's something seriously wrong in these parts!) S*d that!

My thinking is that I don't really need two white-dialled chronographs; I was toying with listing the VC but after wearing it for a straight week I've come to realise that it's just a shedload of watch for the value I have invested in it (and probably a much, much better watch than the Daytona), so it's actually the Daytona that would be moved on. I'm also planning to drop the GO PC in to Wempe in order that they can send it back to the manufacture for a full service. I rarely wear it, so when it's back and with a nice warranty on the movement I'll almost certainly re-list it, and if it doesn't sell here I'll widen the availability beyond TZ. I'm assuming, though, that with a GO service and priced at around £9.5k it should be tempting enough.
That's the plan at the moment, although I could just as easily keep both the Daytona and the GO. Sometimes I make changes through boredom more than anything, so if anyone has any suggestions for replacement options that (1) would be a good fit and (2) are slightly off the beaten path it would be good to hear them. Failing that, they're a nice bunch of watches that I'm lucky to own, so just enjoy the photos.

I’m not going to offer you any suggestions other than the one you are fully aware of. :-)
Hah! That old chestnut ;)

An amazing collection expertly photographed as usual.
If it was me I would move on the Daytona, VC and and GO. I’ve never really appreciated the Daytona, as fine a watch as it is. The VC is horologically top drawer, but something much simpler like a time only manual wind Traditionelle is much more my thing. The boutique versions have the most interesting dial texture; have you thought about this as a replacement? The GO is such a good watch technically, but the asymmetry of the dial does grate me a bit.
Sell those 3, buy a simpler VC, liberate some funds. Less may be more. I can’t believe you are selling that amazing GS, that really is madness
