Help me decide

[dougieb]

So, I've found myself with 5 nice watches having promised my wife to keep the collection to 4. The collection consists of the following and I need to move one on

Speedy
2245
Sinn U1
Sinn 857 UTC
Blue Pelagos

The speedy was an engagement gift from my wife and my first proper watch so that has to stay. The Pelagos is the latest purchase and I'm keeping that. So it comes down to the 2254 and the two Sinns. For a long time the 2254 was my daily wearer and it's slightly fallen out of favour (was considering trading for a black bay GMT), however, it's possibly a future classic so I think it's staying. So it's between the U1 and 857 and I just can't make my mind up


Thought I'd settled on keeping the U1 but every time I think I've made my mind up I then have an urge to sell the U1 and keep the 857 - help me decide?

For me I'd sell the U1, you'll be able to replace in the future easily enough if you wish.

I'd move the 857 on
too much going on on that dial

[km9]

Either one of the Sinn would be the candidate.

Tough call, but given that neither watch could be classified as 'rare' I suspect it all comes down to which dial you find the most visually appealing. The U1 edges it for me, here - the pop of red makes it that bit more appealing and gives it longer term interest. You'll kick yourself either way, of course.

You have the dive/tool watches covered with the Pelagos and the 2254 so I'd say lose the U1, although I'd be tempted to sell the 857 as well, then buy a GMT of some description.

Maybe look at a watch without a bezel like a Sinn 144 or the GMT version






Or something a bit dressier? A Grand Seiko maybe?

I concur.

This was my exact thinking - next watch is likely be one without a bezel.

I'd be inclined to sell U1 and 857 and get down to 3, then see how you feel after a few weeks.

That's not a bad option, like them both but don't love them. Do still quite fancy trying to source a black bay GMT

I agree with this, sell both as the 2254 and Pelagos tick the diver box. Missing a nice dress or pilot watch in there maybe?

+1. Although I prefer the 857 over the U1.

[PhiloStan]

Keep the U1 and sell the 857 for me.
