Ok so I'm on the verge of buying my 6th Rolex 14060m.i truly love this watch and it is my favorite of all watches but I end up selling it every time I have one.i have decided that this one I'm about to buy will be the last 14060m I purchase,it's a keeper cause I can't stand selling it and wanting it a week later.anyone ever done this or am I just crazy?

cgjane · 22 October 2012, 06:34 AM

You are just crazy.

Once, or twice ok. But Six? Six times?

Never done that.

HL65 · 22 October 2012, 06:43 AM

That might just be a record!

Rocco22 · 22 October 2012, 06:47 AM

Hahahah I guess I have a problem.ive also had the hulk 3 times.for some reason my two favorite watches I can't seem to hold onto.

TakesALickin · 22 October 2012, 06:51 AM

I hope you're not losing money every time you flip. Yikes!

No I made money 3 times,lost money once and broke even once.i just have a problem that I want what I don't have but then get bored with it when I get it.

jay_kay · 22 October 2012, 06:53 AM

I'm on my 3rd Sea-Dweller and thought that was bad!

FrankNYC · 22 October 2012, 06:55 AM

Been there with the Sub. Though not as many times as you.

patek.wis · 22 October 2012, 07:03 AM

Yup. Too many times. I'm buying it back soon hopefully. A smp blue wave 300m bond bracelet :)

orangejuicy · 22 October 2012, 07:04 AM

I'm with you. I've owned the Sub C LV twice and am thinking about buying it again. As I've said before it's a sickness.

Ya I always end up seeing the hulk and realize I new it back.

bungcarlo · 22 October 2012, 07:05 AM

It depends on the length of time that you've owned the same model! For example, if you flip it every other year, I'd say that's normal and having sellers remorse or just missing that particular model. Or since one of your locations is Vegas, are you a heavy gambler and sometimes end up selling your watch then hoping to replace it once it's gone ( no offense since I gamble too )?

jbsf3 · 22 October 2012, 07:14 AM

Sinn U1 for me, owned 3 of them, but I always come back to Rolex

I am a heavy gambler no offense taken.ive never sold a watch at a casino but I have bought a Rolex two tone sub off a guy needing money to play, I'm always on the lookout for that at casinos.the longest I've had the 14060 was maybe 6 months.i guess I'm just a very serious serial flipper.

Jannal · 22 October 2012, 08:37 AM

You're not alone.

Watchmutt · 22 October 2012, 11:15 AM

Isn't like that with many things? I've done the Canon to Nikon to Minolta to Canon to Sony shuffle. I might have missed a sequence somewhere. Each time I buy and sell the same big $ lenses. I'm in between systems now and I'm trying to chose between Canon and Nikon again.

trigger643 · 22 October 2012, 11:39 AM

I traded a firearm for a blue 16613, then wished I'd gone black... about a year later I traded the watch back for the firearm (the guy missed it) and was promptly laid off and my wife filed for divorce (coincidence? I think not!).

I am now a position to get a black 16613, this time from a member here on the forum and the deal will be done next week.

Now to find my future ex-wife...

Hairdude1 · 22 October 2012, 11:37 AM

I think as long as you are happy who cares!

Andrés G · 22 October 2012, 11:39 AM

I'm on my 3rd Speedy Pro and thinking about buying my 2nd AP Diver.

Chewbacca · 22 October 2012, 11:40 AM

just the same dollars!

superdog · 22 October 2012, 11:46 AM

Three is my limit, never more than three times.

6 means something is wrong.

Christiaan · 22 October 2012, 11:47 AM

Panerai 88...3 times and want another one LOL

seand442 · 22 October 2012, 11:49 AM

I have been through 3 Seadwellers. Even looking at a SubC now, the SD keeps coming back.

caryyee · 22 October 2012, 11:59 AM

What??? I've never flipped a watch, then bought it back again at a later stage, that's crazy! :)

Bangel · 22 October 2012, 12:16 PM

I'm the sort that ums and ahs about any expensive purchase (and yes, Rolex is expensive for me) and then procrastinates some more to the point where my wife gets fed up, rolls her eyes and nudges me to pull the trigger.

As such, all the watches I've ever owned I have coveted to some degree and I would never willingly flip them in the first place.

The only situation I could see myself buying back the same model watch is if I was forced to sell it initially because of absolute dire financial hardship.

Manofsteelpt · 22 October 2012, 12:20 PM

4 YMs and I bought my 5th Daytona a cpl months ago... So, no worries as ar as I'm concerned, lol

iLLGT2 · 22 October 2012, 01:18 PM

LMAO 6 times, cray... I'm on my 3rd GMT II C however!

Tudor66 · 22 October 2012, 01:26 PM

I bought and flipped this beauty- it was a 1974 Omega Speedmaster professional 'first man on the moon' watch, then I bought and flipped an 1984, lastly I bought and flipped a 1969 version--- all in the same month...
