Though I don’t own the amazing 5650G, I have come to the same conclusion over this year with my humble watches. I wear 2 of them regularly every week. The others get worn for a small percentage out of the whole time and I don’t have a strong urge to wear them like with my top 2. Unlike you Baron, I am definitely looking to downscale now because I see no reason to have these “extra” watches. As our friend Padj wrote once — I paraphrase, that we are really weird guys to love little mechanical watches and obsess about them — I’d like to think the recognition that you can wear and need one watch (or two) is normalizing...😁

The longer I own this, the more I start to feel that I need way less watches in my collection! ...
I don't blame you Joe!

That watch is a sports watch, a dress watch, an accurate watch, a skeleton watch all in one!!
We might have to stage an intervention.

.....is that if you plan an exit watch, it never works. If a watch becomes an exit watch, then....uhmmmm

.....i have no intention of reducing my collection in any big way. Although for the last year the 5650G has been on my wrist 75% of the time, I definitely like the option of wearing the others. I have worn all of my collection over the last year. I think ...
What would define "killer"?

I think one of you need to start a new thread on this subject after you've thought through what your own definition would be.
Congrats and wear it in good health.

Every time seeing a 5650G, I regret not request my AD to get me an allocation right at the time of its launch. Though giving its limited number of 500, the answer may well be the same. Best, Henry
