Food for Thought : X'mas Watch Consolidation

Just a thought. When you have too many watches, they tend to spend time ticking in the winder cases rather than be out adventuring. What if I go on a Christmas watch consolidation exercise such that I only keep selected collectible watches in black font? That would scale down the collection to 15% of the initial bloated collection, and ensured that all the watches would get even wrist times per week. And perhaps I could start scouting for good pieces again then, with room to spare in my winder cases. LOL.
