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...

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 ...
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

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.
The 5130P is replaced by 5131P and the 5524G
Is making space for the 5975G and Pepsi and Batman next week. I guess when tbe 5212 arrives in September it will be adios to FPJ Chromometre Sauverain
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...
