My watch collection is not big (8 pieces). Even so, I feel as though downsizing to 3-5 pieces I wear regularly might be the way to go. Where I'm struggling is how that will look. My collection is anchored by two main pieces - Seiko Alpinist (SARB017) and Archimede Outdoor Protect 39 - and these are the two that get worn the most. I have a beater I really like (Citizen Chandler field), and then a bunch of pieces that just sit in the box. I'm considering doing a few different things, and would like your thoughts.
Option 1: Keep the Alpinist, Archimede, and Citizen; get rid of everything else. Go with these pieces and see how I feel.
Option 2: Burn it to the ground and restart the collection. Start with an "luxury" piece I can wear every day (thinking about the Tudor BB36).
Option 3: A combination of options one and two. For example, keep the Alpinist, get a BB36, get rid of everything else; or keep the Archimede and Citizen, get a BB36, get rid of everything else, etc.
