"I payed quite a pretty penny and now I feel like I must sell a portion of my current collection to compensate. (I also promised my girlfriend that I would

These are not sufficient reasons to sell without more examination. Compensate for what and why? Why did you promise your girlfriend you would? Why does she want you to sell? Is it a valid reason?
I'm not suggesting you answer here but I would suggest you have a clear understanding of the reasons for selling or keeping. 12 watches hardly seems like an obsession, but then I have a wife with over 100 pairs of shoes.... At any rate, I'm suspicious when I hear about someone asking a significant other to give up something that seems harmless but gives the significant other pleasure.
