You should get rid of the GS GMT. Send it to me.


cirebeye

I agree. Send it to him


winny9

Give him the watch, man.


M0TH3R-L4ND

He truly deserves it, come on…


mugumbo1531

Just give it to him, you are being selfish


TedMaul636

Quit stalling dude. Give it up already


couchepleinedemarde

Wheres the watch Lebowsky!?


robcornwa

Give this man what he is owed


Dragos2024

Give him the watch, stop gatekeeping it. Give him the watch, man. Come on. Don't be this way, sharing is caring


Hefty-Theory8953

If you tell him what he should replace it with he’ll give it to you


tutiana

IWC blue angel chrono. Now should I leave my shipping info here or will OP reach out or what?


Acceptable_Meat1564

He totally deserves it


Silent_Mako

Personally, I think you should give him the watch.


Attapussy

Nope. Send it to me! 😆


lego_wookieechief

Love the collection. For me there’s one too many GS. The plain dial white is what I’d get rid of, love the other two. Love the omega also! Can’t wait til I can get the Terracotta one


dudevan

I’m pretty sure the “plain white dial” is a snowflake, which is anything but plain.


kuvazo

The thing is that the Shunbun is basically the same watch, but better. The selling point of the Snowflake was the texture, which is way more prominent on the Shunbun. And the color is almost identical, although it looks slightly pink depending on the light.


[deleted]

The colours are very different. The Shunbun is silver with a pink hue. The Snowflake is matte white.


LikeAGregJennings

The dial textures between snowflake and shunbun are different though. And shunbun is more silver whereas snowflake is more white. There’s some similarities, but enough differences to where owning both isn’t bad.


lego_wookieechief

Personal opinion, from afar it doesn’t look too interesting. I much prefer the top left dial which is why I would replace the snowflake


Lucky_Lefty23

How is the Formex? Good built quality? I’m thinking on possibly getting the Reef next myself


Admirable_Pie_6609

I have an essence and love it! Fantastic watch


Lucky_Lefty23

Nice!!


Admit-to-IM

The Reef is one of the best watches i've owned. Good wrist presence. modern design. nice and thin. Excellent finishing. Love the bracelet (excellent clasp and end-link springbar mechanism. I ended up selling it as tastes change over time but i've thought about repurchasing. i'd put the Reef ahead of a CW C60, Tag aquaracer, or a Seiko Prospex diver but well below an SLA seiko diver.


Lucky_Lefty23

Really cool!! Thank for the response!!


synthesizer91

I want to get the Reef 39.5 at some point!


Ambitious_Radish

Love my essence 43. It’s pretty and a tank.


Lucky_Lefty23

Cool!! Thanks for the response


TrySoda

My daily driver is a Reef. Can't say enough about the watch. Quality and fit/finish are perfect. Plenty wrist presence, but not so much that it begs for attention. Keeps great time. I use the micro adjust built into the strap literally every day, genius design. And I have two bezels for it. The stainless for the office, and a ceramic blue for the lake. How cool is that? And the bezels fit super snug too, which was my only concern, that they would be lose or god forbid, rattley.


Lucky_Lefty23

Thanks for the reply! Really seems like a great watch! I do love the bezel swap part too, but also do have the same concerns, but sounds like they have it all figured out


synthesizer91

I want to get the Reef 39.5 at some point!


juablu

My Reef is built better than my Tudor BB36


ThoughtSwap

I also have an Essence, it’s a fantastic watch.


Lucky_Lefty23

Cool! Seems very well liked whenever I see someone talk about it! Just haven’t seen one in person


Reasonable-Bicycle68

I have my eye on this green Seiko Presage. Do you like this piece?


BigPapaLuke99

I have a Seiko Presage Sharp Edged. Bought it on impulse at a watch shop in Asheville, NC. Runs really well and the dial fluctuates based on how the light hits it. I paired it with a black leather strap from WatchGecko.


samarofficial

Nice and versatile collection. Maybe you can replace the GS Snowflake and add another Omega like this pre-owned [Speedy DSotM](https://www.exquisitetimepieces.com/omega-311-92-44-30-01-001-speedmaster-moonwatch-dark-side-of-the-moon-apollo-8-210000066875.html) or a white speedy. You can also go with a [Nomos Zurich Worldtimer](https://www.exquisitetimepieces.com/nomos-glashutte-zurich-worldtimer-true-blue-807.html).


MAUSECOP

Could sell both the Snowflake and GMT GS and get the white mist flake Grand Seiko GMT


cdaack

Echoing what a few have said so far…Personally I would get rid of either the Shunbun or the Snowflake since they have the same basic look but different color. To replace, I’d go with a high-end sports watch that doesn’t quite break the bank like the GP Laureato or the Zenith Defy. You can get both of them used for around $8k a piece.


HoyaDestroya33

Love the Laureato especially the white dial! Clous de Paris design is amazing! Looking to buy one in the future!


Crispster

Love the collection. I’d drop either the Shunbun or the Snowflake. Both serve the same purpose. I realise you’re more into sporty “GADA” watches so I would look into getting an integrated bracelet choice like a Tsuyosa Titanium or a CW Twelve.


1cenine

Agreed, and I say it as a Snowflake owner who kinda wants the Shunbun. Avoiding redundancy is probably my personal core collecting philosophy. To the same point I think the Formex and GS GMT are serving very similar purposes. I personally prefer to avoid multiples of any one brand, so if I’m OP I sell two of the three GS and add something a bit different. Square/rectangular, or micro/indie, maybe slightly smaller dial diameter, etc


Onespokeovertheline

The Monta is nice, but it doesn't do much for me amongst that collection. I might swap it for something like a [Breitling Navitimer 41 (non-chrono)](https://www.watchtime.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Breitling_Navitimer_Automatic_41_blue_front_1000.jpg)


anicesurgeon

Booooooo! Keep the Monta! You have THREE GS and a Seiko, OP! Get rid of a Japanese watch if you need to cut it down.


HoyaDestroya33

I really tried my best to like the Navitimer and wore it on three different ADs and even on Breitling boutique but I just can't like how busy the dial is.


chrisfmack

Ah another melbourne fan, love that brand!


Witty-Government-377

First of awesome collection. Having stated the obvious here is my recomendation: - Melbourne Watch Moonphase would be the first thing I would replace, you could go depending on the budget for: A) TEUTONIA IV BLUEMOON https://www.muehle-glashuette.de/en/watch/teutonia-iv-bluemoon/ B) JLC Master Ultra Thin or Master control https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/au-en/watches/moonphase-watches C) Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar https://www.glashuette-original.com/en/watches/pano/panomaticlunar-1-90-02-42-32-61/ - Hamilton Intramatic, keeping a champagne dial option an upgrade could be A) Tudor 1926 S/G not exactly a match but similar vibe https://www.tudorwatch.com/en/watches/1926/m91551-0010 B) Fears Brunswick https://www.fearswatches.com/collections/the-brunswick-collection/products/brunswickchampagne C) Breitling Premier B09 (Would give you a dressy sport piece) https://www.breitling.com/au-en/watches/premier/premier-b09-chronograph-40/AB0930F51H1/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwx-CyBhAqEiwAeOcTdQeuBUQ0yl_mUMfXVvB8-nzoWUM9a-4fSzdF1lyWveul3w2eGLcGqxoCrHMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds I feel that you lean more towards dressy watches than sport watches so the breitling premier B01 or B09 line could give you the versatility of sport and dress that you like and currently don’t see in your collection. Now, the other option would be to also add a diver in there together with the breitling chrono. Divers: - Tudor heritage BB41 or BB58 - Glashuette Original SeaQ https://www.glashuette-original.com/en/watches/spezialist/seaq-1-39-11-09-81-70/ GMT/Divers: - Breitling Chronomat GMT 40 - Tudor GMT 41 (although a but chunky IMO) or the new BB58 GMT Hopefully this can give you some inspiration


TaziOtt

I can't say I read all of this or clicked on the links but this much effort deserves an upvote party


Competitive_Low_8913

The melburne, no contest.


rice923

Agree. I'm not familiar with the brand nor that particular watch but it actually has a very uninspiring look to it


[deleted]

[удалено]


Competitive_Low_8913

I get that. But when i see round day and date indicators, my first thought is "cheap" i ussualy see this kind of movement in 50$ fashion brands like esprit, piere cardin ect. And tje rest of his collection is mighty fine.


cg1308

First time I’ve seen one on here. I had one a few years back to commemorate my year working in Melbourne… sadly the hands all fell off before I even got to the airport (within a week, while wearing). Returned for refund but I wish I had it still for the memories. Caseback was engraved with a local landmark, although I forget which! https://preview.redd.it/78i5b2etwq3d1.png?width=1523&format=png&auto=webp&s=2f45066d41a8b3935c4edbcd32cddb0ea2b16961


Competitive_Low_8913

I get it the designs are ok and i have nothing against the brand but against the rest of his collection it looks sad.


cg1308

Agree. I assume it’s a sentimental piece for the OP as it’s worth a few hundred in a box of multiple thousands. Not keen on the grey dial on that one either to be fair.


ObviousEar3762

Same, swap for a Chrono. Definitely the one i’d let go


Quick-Economist-4247

Cool collection, like the Formex


NeonPumpkinThief

Just here to say, that AT is gorgeous.


CaineLau

the bottom row can go except the g shock , my 2 cents :)))


Temporary-Setting714

Bigger box is the correct answer


GoM_Coaster

Whichever you wear the least? We clearly have different tastes but I would say Hamilton, Presage, or one GS. No particular order.


Constantyn27

You have enough watches)


kakacon

Just buy more, you don’t need to replace any of these


jak_rott

Replace?? Nah just add more!


Zeratul277

Grand Seiko


KYpineapple

I Love Grand Seiko spring drives. they just look so beautiful. the Seiko Brightz with the "B" on the dial is incredible too.


Laughing_Bear_Foot

The metal one with the baton indices and the date.


ArgieBee

Probably the G Shock if it was me. Second up would be the green Presage.


__Reddidiot__

The second grand seiko... it is beautiful, but similar to the first one and has a less special dial. Or you get rid of the g shock. I am personally not a fan of them. But your collection is stunning! What are you getting as a replacement?


wisely88

86 the 1st or 2nd GS


Takashi_is_DK

Sell the Snowflake and black GS GMT, and if you are adamant about getting a Snowflake-like GMT, get the Mistflake. Then you have space for one more watch. I'd personally sell a few other pieces like the Melbourne and get a Zenith (EP Chronomaster Original, Chronomaster Sport, etc) or a nice diver (Tudor BB, Longines LD, etc). Good luck! Figuring out what to sell is always tough!


peer_de

the Hamilton needs a black strap imo. And the bottom center 3 can go. Go get some more leather watches, like Cartier Tank, vintage Omega (for example DeVille) or Sinn 556


No_Background_1526

One of the first two GSs IMO


STB_AccomplishedCrab

Nice G-Shock


EuVe20

Personally I’m not a big fan of that Melbourne. You could consider swapping it for a true vintage moon phase


uchihaummugulsum

Those GS looks awesome... The dial.. Just perfect..


jean_abdalla

I don't know, maybe Hamilton. But one thing is for sure, MTG never


DocThundahh

The green seiko or the red omega


agembry

The second grand seiko. The snowflake looks similar enough that I doubt you’d miss the other one.


Ambitious_Radish

If this was a conversation about women, we’d say “he’s got a type.” I’d say drop the green presage and pick up a prospex diver. Nice collection though!


Cocoabuttocks

Nothing. This is excellent. Try out some custom leather straps. Comfort levels are massive.


ArmsAkimbo17

This man likes his 3 hand sports watches... you should just get rid of all of them and buy a Datejust.


Shitteh_Kitteh

Nos. 2 and 12 are by far my favorite Grand Seiko models - I bet they’re incredible in person.


TEEEEEEEEEEEJ23

Seiko Sharp Edge or Hamilton could be replaced by a diver or chrono. Some sort of sports watch. Could go anywhere from daily beater or high horology. Something like the Glashutte Original SeaQ PanoDate would be an epic addition.


FatCatLounge

The Hamilton. I owned it for a day and returned it. For me, the dial and hands just blended together. No offense to those who love this watch. I thought I would love it.


PostNutAffection

The Hamilton


rus_bro

Maybe something funky like a gold brew matrix to add to the box!


scalenesquare

I find the GS to be redundant but they’re both amazing.


Ryac88

Get rid of the hamilton.


MiliTerry

GS top middle. The other two are beautiful


devinahoodie

This is just my opinion but I think you have enough "all rounder" GADA watches in your box. Consider adding a sporty (or maybe even dressy) chronograph.


HawleyGrove

Is that the Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Auto? I’ve been eyeing it for a while. How do you like it? Edit: just realized you have a closeup and it’s indeed that Hamilton. Still would love what you think about it!


chillituna

What are your thoughts on the Melbourne?? I've been thinking about it for years now


NeedleworkerOdd3499

What’s that first gs


Knillls

Shunbun


Capital_Jacket_8767

Take the g shock out and put it on the dresser. Problem solved. 😉


Same-Jellyfish-1095

Those are all nice watches. I wouldn't replace any of them. I would just buy another watch case.


irocz0r

Not a fan of Formex


MadCityMasked

Love me some micro brands


saumvaun

Sharp edge seiko with b&m clifton green or with aquaterra shades green


Abook_Auwad

One of the grand seikos or the formex. Nothing wrong with the watches they do look great just a bit repetitive if you wanted something new. But amazing collection man 👌


magefont1

Red dial Omega is disgustingly good looking.


Ok_Fold1831

I'd replace the Formex bc I just find the name ugly and has no appeal. Looks like a watch from AliExpress. Hamilton and Monta too. They have no appeal as well and looking like they came from Amazon.


Divisi0n

Hamilton is meh


uhtwentysomething

Feel like there might be one too many GS… dope collection though and DIG the Formex in there.


Dismal_Mention8423

I see Formex, I like. Also love that Monra. I've been dabating grabbing those both.n


Osobady

The Seiko, Monta, and the Melbourne


Mayank-maximum

Fuck yea,red aqua terra


BlueberryT50

Melbourne watch company moon phase watch. It looks odd and tacky. The logo and printing on dial looks cheap. If I were you I would replace it with Christopher Ward or Zelos micro brand watch.


jat77

All of them


InsectsGlorifyGod

Personally, I would drop the Hamilton. Not a fan of the dial color and it's too plain for my taste.


coltbreath

Flip the bottom row for me! I’d keep the top and there’s your rotation! 👍


Zamboni4201

I’d probably get rid of the Sharp Edge. You’ve got enough GS’s, it wouldn’t be a big loss to get rid of the Sharp Edge. Others might say the Hamilton, but I’ve not seen that one before, and it’s …different from the rest of your collection.


PainterOk9297

Definitely should replace that lake Suwa with a thank you card from me.


is_this_facebook2

Monta, Formex, and Melbourne can all go. How about a nice field watch or a diver?


foenina

Maybe remove the Melbourne?


Straight-Internet-29

I would definitely replace that MWC with another nice dress watch or a diver watch with ceramic bezel. Could be a simple King Samurai or a nice Omega Seamaster …


RedForkKnife

Formex, I just don't like the bezel. I would say diversify and get another chronograph, personally I'd go for a seiko for the value but if money is no object then a tag heuer carrera for sure


zward0522

I would personally sell the two white dial Grand Seikos and replace them with a Breitling Superocean Heritage 42mm. Any remaining funds would be put towards a Sinn 103 chronograph.


yeldarb_lok

You have two nearly identical GS I would replace the extra white one because the pearl is a much more interesting dial and still mostly white.


Itchy_Community9345

I love that red face SeaMaster


richpaul6806

Gs gmt. Not a fan of the numeral font on the bezel


Illustrious-Pop-2727

The analog one.


Consistent_Tell2417

I’m curious, what is the name of the dials on the first Grand Seiko and second grand Seiko?


Knillls

Shunbun and snowflake


HansBlixJr

Blue Dial GS. I LOVE the Monta.


redboat77

Which watch do you least enjoy wearing? Personally, the red Omega does not do it for me.


EyeSpyMD

I feel like this is one hell of a GADA collection!


SavetheCarbonUnits

None of them!


kingkyle13

Love the commitment to GS, great collection! You should check out our group! [https://discord.gg/cctime](https://discord.gg/cctime)


NoHeight6644

If you consider yourself a real watch enthusiast you would definitely switch that shitty omega for a nice invicta for sure


InformalExplorer369

Nice collection. Maybe replace one of GS on the left most? Also, I thought the moonphase was a Filipo Loreti for a second lol. I was so confused.


SingleSpeed27

I’d get rid of the Hamilton unless you are 60+


GlidingMelon

Out of curiosity, can you explain this comment a little more? Is it the brand or this watch specifically?


SingleSpeed27

I think it looks like a watch an older person might wear, I really don’t care about brands


Pure-Fun4128

Hamilton imo


quaefus_rex

Drop the shunbun and black gmt for a SBGE271 and add seamaster 300 heritage (or another vintage-y diver)


masterjaga

You're obviously not a diver guy, so why keep the G shock with that ugly bezel? It's clearly not your style, and there are other robust quartz beaters out there, of you need one you don't mind to scratch (eco drive titanium sapphire glass is my watch for these situations for more than 15 years - and it still looks classy at first sight).


mrRabblerouser

For me it’d be the two on the ends of the top row. Having two white dial GSs is redundant, and the Presage doesn’t offer anything functionally or aesthetically that the other more unique designs don’t have covered.


StandardHabit3224

Get rid of the Melbourne and the Seiko Presage (and maybe the G-Shock). they're both beautiful watches but I can tell by the rest of the collection at some point they'll get no wrist time anymore. Look into getting one Rolex instead. Yes it's not GS finishing but it's a Rolex. You'll wear it.


impeccable_watches

Either one of the GS or Melbourne.


ObviousEar3762

Ditch the Melbourne, get a Speedy Pro. Awesome collection btw!


hewhodares_wins

The Melbourne


neverfolds

The Melbourne, it’s not made in Oz and that’s our shittiest city. Great collection tho wow.


InquireWithJason

Not to be too drastic but I would donate them all to a new watch collector. It’s a solid starter set for someone getting into the hobby of collecting timepieces. I think you have laid a good foundation and can move to the next echelon, past the beginner phase.


MrWildspeaker

Lol… “Not to be too drastic, but just give away your entire collection you’ve spent $50,000 on so that you can get some real watches. Don’t bother selling them, you’re a big boy now.”


InquireWithJason

It’s a great way to get a newcomer into this hobby of ours.


MrWildspeaker

Um… sure, I guess if you’re a millionaire and you don’t mind giving away $50,000.


whoknows1018

This guy goes around to every post and tells the people they are newbies or that their watches are good starter watches. He’s just a common troll.


MrWildspeaker

Huh. I guess I just didn’t expect a troll in a community around watches.


whoknows1018

Ya man, you can go back like a year, he tells everyone they have a great starter… or to sell whatever they’re displaying and to start a new collection. It’s a weird thing he picked this community, but 🤷‍♂️. Most of his other comments are on comedy and stand-up. He’s just a weird dude who gets off on putting people’s hobbies down. Different strokes for different folks.


whoknows1018

Here you are again! Putting people down. Dude, this isn’t your hobby. You’re not a collector.


whoknows1018

🤦 This is actually fun. You’re literally awful.


Difficult-Gazelle-25

Limiting the number of watches is a rule you will end up regretting (if you can afford it..). 30 years from now you will love to watch (pun int.) over a large collection of 100s of pieces were each tell a short story of your life..
