Just a little comparison of the two most worn watches this month. Which one is cooler/more interesting?

Current line up is below, i.e. six SS Rolex + a 2008 IWC Postofino and a 2004 Tudor Prine Date Chrono. Feeling like six Rolex are too many to give every one of them enough wrist time so considering reducing by one.

Let‘s assume everything except the Daytona, the IWC and the Tudor Chrono are ip for a trade/sale – these three have sentimental value and I would never let them go. For clarification the OP is 36mm and the DJ is a 41. And yes, I know I need a bigger watch box [emoji38]

Question 1: Which Rolex would you sell to get down to five ?

Question 2: Which two would you trade (possibly plus some cash) for a black dial Daytona 126500LN ?

Looking forward to hearing some opinions.

Hello

I’m sure that a few weeks ago a "wiggle test" was mentioned in a thread in relation to the slack or backlash in the hands of GMT watches. (can someone please confirm that I am not just imagining this!) Assuming that I didn’t imagine this, I have a question about it.

I have just put my very rarely worn, 2006 ish I think, GMT master 2 on and it’s quite obvious that there is some slack in the minute hand. My question is, is there a recognised acceptable amount of slack in the hands of a GMT? Looking at mine, when the second hand is pointing exactly at 12 o’clock the minute hand varies between pointing exactly at a minute marker and about mid way between minute markers. I know that this is a very minor problem, but unfortunately I’m finding this is really putting me off the watch.

Thanks very much for your time and I look forward to hearing your replies. :cheers:
