Always sad to say goodbye
I am a terrible hoarder and if I had a choice would never sell a watch. But reality is that a 10 watch collection implies watches get worn only 36 days a year!!!! So over the last two years I have been forced to let watches move out the collection as new ones come in.....
Sadly time for these two to go and hope they have happy new homes. I was an early adopter of the 5524G and had it since February 2015 .....and the 5130P was a wonderful component on my platinum trilogy....no doubt I will regret the move and hopefully wont buy them back again like I did with 5130G on 2 occasions

Such a difficult decision
I find myself in the same position where I have too many watches (thank god for them)but I feel I need to trim a little so going through the same dilemma. My Pateks will however survive the cut 😄 Iqbal
Why worry about how many days a year they can all be worn, on average?
Unless you need to address a financial issue, then isn’t that part of what collecting watches is all about, Karl? Surely when you ordered the KV, you weren’t thinking it was going to be a daily beater, but something really nice/special to have when the mo...
Wear the KV quite a bit...and I struggle
Between the concept of collecting and hoarding!!! Collections evolve and hopefully improve but I to have kept the 5205R and 5146G but when u have a 5740 and 5320 it just seems to be over indulgent. I the financial means not to worry about it but I dont ...
The difference between collecting and hoarding is a simple one.

I just put the 5524 on and that's a surprise that I still love
t he watch ...I just dont get for the 5164R when you can have this. Bigger, heavier, more legible, cheaper and some funny knobs.... ...
Always really sad to say goodbye. But then really exciting to say welcome in.
Hope the new fills the gap of the old. Enjoy. M.

I commend you on your approach (and not just because I feel the same way with my collection)
Maintaining a collection size of ten watches that are routinely worn requires discipline and focus. It is not so much a question of collecting versus hoarding, for me it is a pragmatic approach to ensure that each piece is carefully curated for the collec...
Oh, how different we are.
It's my favorite watch. Personally, I'd rather sell my 5960P-016 or 5980A from my collection if I had a new piece incoming in order to facilitate the financials about the new watch... ...
