 Daniel is absolutely right. If you aren't wearing them you don't need them. Now that can get tougher when your collection approaches 75 watches. Impossible to wear them all isn't it?

Today's grail may not be tomorrow's grail. Tastes change and mature. Fad watches come and go. When you hit on a grail which will truly become an heirloom watch then it sticks.

As for the Invictas and Renatos, if they are sitting idle dump them. As Daniel said you will take a bath as there is little demand for these on the secondary market unless they are priced right and you may have been lucky and grabbed them on an OTV. But they are of no use to you in a box.

Every so often I look at my collection and realize perhaps I should consolidate. I could sell a number a moderately priced watches and reinvest that money into something which more closely meets my current desires. However, despite having favorites which get more wrist time in the rotation I still get a great deal of satisfaction from a sweet affordable watch be it something like the Swiss Military I recently picked up or somebody's used beater.;)
