Great video as always Michael - Hear Hear on the SD50 40mm dial!

Great vid Michael! Good move with the GP. I hate it when watches don’t fit perfectly. And I definitely can’t stand watches that are too loose.

For the GP Laureato, did you try reaplcing a full link with two half links or vice versa? The half links aren't actually half, they're more like 2/3 links so adding two of them together will be larger than a full link but smaller than a half link plus a full link.

Where do you sell your watches ? to a gray market dealer or a final user ?

Hey Michael, I feel you on the GP, I really like that piece but I've got one of them funny wrists as well - My GS SBGA375 I can't get a proper fit on the bracelet or on a leather strap I bought - Fixed it with a strapcode and the same for my white dial SMP300 - I get a great fit with the bracelet but I find it too bulky and either too lose or too tight on the oem rubber, I wasn't majorly impressed with a Zealander either. I recently fitted a Forstner 1461 and I'm loving the taper and fit. Am very much considering the Laureato for my next big purchase and must thank you for your other reviews on it. SD4K on my grail list as well!

Wow ! But perfectly makes sense. Keeping two tone and 40 mm Sea dweller would be my choice also, you covered both sides with them. After some times all of them looks similar.

Good trimming, the pieces you have left are way better 👍🏽 don’t know if you like the Skydweller blue and the Root Beer Rolex but they’ll balance out your rotation in my opinion that is

Mike - which ones are left??

I think that you made the right decisions! You still have a very cool collection

This truly is a journey and like you, my tastes constantly change and evolve but that's part of the fun. There's always something new and exciting around the corner. Recently picked up a Kermit 2.0 (aka starbucks). Love it. Do you still have yours? If not, curious why you sold it. Thoughts?

Of all the watches you’ve parted with, I will indeed miss the GP. But you did the right thing. I suspect a Royal Oak is in your future. A royal oak chronograph, perhaps? Great video.

Good review. Very helpful. I actually now slightly prefer my new kermit (2.0) to my 2012 hulk. I have settled into a (rolex only) rotation of New Kermit, black ceramic GMT (116170LN), pre ceramic sea dweller (16600) and an SD 43.

I get the comfort thing and I just sold two watches I love my Speedy and my Tudor Pelagos LHD due to not being able to get the best fit.

The right decision is the one you make. Whatever makes you happy man, is your collection after all.👍🏻

Michael, what remains? The SMP, SD4k, 16600... what else?

I'm sad you sold the SD43. I think this is a good one to keep. Now I'm wondering if I should trade mine for the new Sub41 for better weight and proportion. What are your thoughts?

Big Mike, congrats on selling some pieces you don’t like/wear anymore. If I don’t love a watch or want to wear it I sell it and get something else. I always laugh when I see someone on the forum with a box of 20+ watches that they never wear.

Good selling except the GP imo.

What size is you Omega SM 300 just out of curiosity? Looks great!

I'd have never sold that No Date Sub, last of the maxi case versions, which are much nicer than current subs

Yes, bracelets without tapering and without microadjust…. That’s a dealbreaker for comfort.

Mate well done get rid Of what you don’t wear or like

You are a head of the curve, more and more people are going to be selling off their blowed up Rolex collection in the next or two. The fashion statement of a Rolex is not what it once was five years ago and with theft of Rolex on the rise, I see people letting go of the collection in favour of converting the cash to some other toy. Plus, smart watches are getting so much better. I was tempted to get Apple Ultra iwatch the other day. I can see myself buyer one in the next few years if it keeps improving, that's not see I will abandoning mechanical movement watches. That will never happen but I can see not getting another G shock for workouts and getting iwatch in the future for exercising and diving.

we need the current state of the collection please

Just me but I would have waited until at least next year's release to let go of the SD43. Reasons being: 1) market low making SS a hold 2) I can see them updating it to a 136600 version with a slimmer bezel and losing the fliplock extension. I would add that the hands are also too small for the dial and bezel. Not much downside to this version being discontinued. 3) I could also see them deco the SD43 and the two tone altogether without an update. Not as hot as the sub or JC, new DSC and JC being the marketing focus, cyclops divisive. Probably won't go entirely but it's just typically the model that gets lost in the diver shuffle.

This all happened when the wife started wearing the sub to dinner. You're going to steal it back, aren't you?

Steelmoon who?

Heey fist! I hope

Love the show but rule number one never sell a Rolex.
