Need opinions: Moving down to just 1 watch...which one to keep??
Hello all,
I am currently pairing down my collection temporarily to raise cash and am down to my last 3 watches but have decided I am only keeping one. My question is out of my 3 pieces left which would you guys think should be the keeper? I currently have:
Hublot Aero Bang Black Magic
AP Diver
AP 15202 White dial
Some info about me: I wear a suit to work everyday, I don't wear my watches to the beach, swimming etc...They all sing to me equally in their own way and I wear them all in rotation. I'm just curious to get some feedback of things I may not be taking into consideration before making my final decision. Thanks in advance for your comments and time!

My thoughts...
If you will wear it with a suit and don't care about ever getting it wet, the 15202 seems like the only choice to me. Also the most horological watch (whatever that means) - great movement.
For suits, only 1 stays...
... then, I would pick 15202. The best for suit, is the only reason. In comparison, the other two are less suitable for business/office in suit, although I agree that, as you mentioned, they are ALL great watches. No need to pick by the brand. It's a sham...
Ask yourself one question...
Which watch of the 3 would you want to hand down to your children / grandhildren? I would keep the one that pops into your head. For me, the 15202 - timeless elegance and a real heirloom from the AP stable.
Is this a short term cull ...
... or a long term strategy? I know what I would keep in the short term, and I agree with others here, but you have to ask yourself how easy it would be to replace any of the sold pieces in the future. Andrew
