I am in the same situation. I will sell at least 20 watches from my collection this year. And most probably the same next year for a few grail pieces and another project...

Yes together with more watches i hardly worn or that didn’t get the love they deserve .
I made the decision last year to only keep watches i want to wear and all unloved ones need to go to create funds for a few grail pieces which i otherwise couldn’t or wouldn’t buy. Difficult decision for a 30+ year hoarder 😬
I think thats a good decision.
I came to the conclusion after picking up some watches from the safe and then look up when was the last time i worn it . Some didn’t get loved for 4 or 5 years and some almost never . And the new pieces that i want nowadays are priced so high that its alm...
