Hmmm... definitely a flipper but in a good sense ;)

I think if you are a watch enthusiast it is
inevitable that your taste or preference
will change as your knowledge in movement
matures

I too am in the same boat as you. Used to
have around 40+ watches and with all
the trading and consolidating, I am down
to an even dozen not counting my vintage
pieces.

My 2 Glashutte Originals are the core of
my collection

Cheers mate

very nice collection James! :thumbsup:
I have to say that your current collection is definitely very well defined- covering all grounds.
All are classics and well thought after pieces!
bet you've spend lots of time considering which to keep and which to let go.
