    Collection - thoughts / suggestions?!

    This is my collection as it stands at the moment (plus an M5600 G-shock)....




    Speedmaster FOIS - would like to keep
    Sinn T2 - would like to keep - great everyday tool and versatile with range of straps/titanium bracelet
    Omega 2231 titanium Seamaster
    Omega (midsize, 36mm) Aqua Terra - FS
    Sinn 903 ST B E - FS
    B42 Titanium chrono - would like to keep
    Damasko DA46 - would like to keep - very legible tool.
    Fortis Cosmonaut - stays; wife bought
    Broadarrow PRS4 - stays, good beater
    M5600 G-shock - stays - frequent use of functions


    The AT and 903 are up for sale on SC already and I'm considering the following...

    8500 (titanium) PO to maybe replace the 2231
    2500 39mm (blue dial) AT
    Heuer Carrera 1153N - just 'cos I like the look of it!


    Any thoughts/suggestion please chaps?


    Cheers

    How about a Seiko or better still a Grand Seiko.

    That's a great collection of my kind of watches. I would suggest a continuation of the theme with. Tutima NATO chronograph and/or a Revue Thommen Airspeed chronograph.

    Mmm... a Revue Thommen Airspeed Chronograph. Sounds like a prompt! That would be one of these - let me know if you want to have a look at mine.

    Nice collection! Some genuinely nice pieces there. Out of your choices, I like the Ti POs so I would suggest that - is that the one with the blue face? But your 2231 is a great version as well, so tough choice to sell that?

    You've got a lot of bases covered there as best I can see - diver/chrono/dress. The only things I can think of are some sort of field watch (eg Hamilton Khaki) or a big pilot style of which there are plenty to choose from, or perhaps something a bit dressier to replace the aqua terra if you end up selling it?

    I like the Ti PO too, yes, that's the blue dial and bezel one.

    I think I'd prefer it to the 2231, but may need to try back to back!

    Ideally I'd have a Pelagos, but I found it a bit uncomfortable for my current state of (ill) health.

    I'm not sure if I'm too keen on the design; maybe, as you suggest I need to have a look!

    My only suggestion would be to get something with a coloured dial. Blue, yellow, orange, white, doesn't matter, just not black.....

    OR
    Curved ball
    Marine Chronometer Offshore Professional
    Dial is multi layered and has facets that changes shades with the light. A real good tool watch.
    Biased as I own one, plus a few other brands

    That Speedy strap is really nice, is it off the shelf or bespoke?

    Well if you do I’m in Oxford, Wiltshire and London this week. And wouldn’t mind looking at your 2231,

    Cheers, John

    I would add something classic in gold to use with a suit unless you don't use a suit at all.
