I think most people would want to know what two watches you would be giving up and what's the watch you would get.

 

And at the same time, how is it relevant? The nest course of action would be for this thread not to exist. The Oap should do what they feel is right, because that's what they feel, joy because a bunch if us have our own opinions on watches and collections and water resistance and GADA and tool amd field.

In short, my opinion is worthless, do whatever the hell you feel so right

 

I don't know. You've given us very little information about the watches or your situation, and I am also not inside your head.

 

If it’s a grail, and you can sell off two watches to fund it then it’s a no-brainer.

Do the 2-for-1 swap and enjoy the grail.

I always seem to be trying to downsize my collection. What a pain. So for me, a one in and two out is The only caveat would be if you are giving up a watch that you like, you don't want to get into a buyback scenario.

 

my grail is a 60-70 y.o. Watch so I would not feel comfortable wearing it every day and would need a second one for sure.

in my case I’d have to find a day to day option to fit the budget.

just my 2 cents

 

What two watches are we talking about selling? Which one are we buying?

 

One.

 

I’ve been drawn by to an expensive watch but would need to sell two pretty nice watches to fund it. I wear the two I would be selling quite regularly.

I would wear the one watch daily but I’m worried I won’t want to wear one watch all the time after the newness wears off but who knows. The watch I’m eyeing is somewhat of a grail for me.

What are your thoughts on a two for one? Should I do it? There’s no way I can keep three so that’s not an option.

somewhat of a grail...is that like somewhat pregnant? so if you have to sell two to buy one maybe you can't afford that somewhat-of-a-grail-watch to begin with.

how much $ are we talking here....4K, 8K....1K? maybe include last three years tax returns so we can see where you sit, financially speaking

 

Haha! Fair enough. Ok… it’s a grail for me. If I’m making anyone crazy with my question, just scroll on forgive me.

Sorry for the lack of detail. I was trying to make it a logical 2-for-one decision or not. Logic and watches do not mix.

Thinking of selling my Planet Ocean and Speedmaster for a Zenith Chronomaster Sport.

no more info needed...keep the two you have

 

I have found myself in a similar situation several times in the past and have always kept the watches in question because they are watches I truly enjoy wearing, like practically all my watches actually, and I know I will regret selling them. I could never just wear the same watch every day. But that’s just me. You do you.

 

Nope. I wouldn't sell any regularly worn watches.

 

 

You guys are right. That’s what my head is telling me too. Keep the ones you’re wearing and enjoying versus the hope that the other will bring more joy.

I’ll stick with the Omegas.

This would be my choice.

 

Seems like your choice is more like "two very nice watches or one very nice watch?".

No way would I make that swap, but I'm not you.

 

Buy the one watch. Months later realise you need a second watch. Months later find a new "one" watch and sell them both. Rinse, repeat.

 

Love the one(s) you’re with.

 

My theme song during my freshman year in college. Played it many times.

 

Agree.

you have now are very nice watches.

 

Two birds in the bush are worth more than one bird up amongst the clouds…..

 

I choose two.

One nice gada auto
One nice gada quartz

 

Like everyone previously else said depends on the two watches you already own and the watch you are considering.

 

No way in frozen over hell would I sell those two Omegas for a Chronomaster Sport. I've been kinda wrong about this so far, but I think it's bound to happen. I think those are going to eventually fall in price and settle in around the usual 25-30% Zenith AD discount pre pandemic madness. Maybe lower if/when they make it to Jomashop or the like. That's when I would just look to add it, instead of giving up a PO and Speedy for one now. I'm starting to see them pretty regularly on display at the AD. And I don't think it's Zenith/LVMH's business model to limit production on what appears to be one of their hottest watches in recent memory.

Now, leaving aside these specific watches and going to the overall question. I'd prefer ONE, or >=3 watches. There have been very short times on my journey that I have had two, and two never get the same wrist time. I always have a favorite. I think that's the case for most people. Whatever the size of the collection, there's one that they reach for just a bit more. So I think it's good to have maximal discipline and have one watch that you make memories with forever, or build a collection.

 

For me, it would depend.

Example: If I were interested in getting, and had the option to get a Rolex Submariner, I wouldn't sell two of my existing watches to fund the purchase, as I like the watches I currently have MORE than I covet a Submariner.

On the other hand, if I had the same option in hand to get an A. Lange & Sohne, I may be tempted to consider it harder.

If I had the SAME option to get my hands on one of the Apollo Mission Speedmasters, I'd already have the watches sold and the money forked over

 

One watch is boring, regardless of price.

 

I've been an advocate for a small watch collection, but having one watch would likely represent significant compromise.

But if your situation is picking between two diver vs one nicer diver as an example, the I'd go 1 watch in that case

 

Think about it for one year.
