@Stonehedge exactly the kind of considered response I was hoping for. hah!
@freddo Out of the 7 I have currently, I mainly wear a SKX009, Christopher Ward C4 (quartz) and my CWC G10. I have a G-Shock that I tend to wear only if i'm worried about damaging another watch and then the other 3 watches get little wear but I'm loathed to part with any of them bar one (a vintage Lancia incabloc auto that is too small).
Since I've ever shown any interest in watches, it's always been a Speedy that has been my grail but as time goes on I'm not sure whether I could justify the spend on one or whether I would wear it as I'd like for fear of damaging it.
The other side of it is that when I look at affordable alternatives that I love the look of (Steinhart Ocean 1 Military/Hamilton Khaki/Squale to name a few) I often wonder whether It's a waste of time when it isn't what I really want.
Plus, as I like tool watches, do I want/need to end up with a bunch of watches that are essentially all the same?

a bunch of watches that are essentially all the same?
This is what is known as a ‘watch collection’. Whether the watches are all the same or not is apparently what distinguishes a ‘collector’ from the rest of us losers.

- SKX009 - sell
- Christopher Ward C4 - sell
- CWC G10 - sell
- G-Shock - keep
- 1/3 - keep
- 2/3 - keep
- Lancia - sell
That gives you one practical second watch, two sentimental watches and a Speedy to now wear the majority of the time and enjoy. Actually maybe keep the CWC G10.
- SKX009 - sell

Seems like you're unlikely to regret buying something to mark the event, so what's holding you back? In real terms you don't need six out of your seven watches.
Do you wear all your current watches? Is there anything you've been lusting after for a while?
