Double Incoming!

Today is a weird day. As many of you know I have been an avid flipper and can't keep a watch as I'm always thinking about what is next

Well looking back there is one watch that drew me to Rolex and has always been my favorite. I found a full set and it's coming tomorrow

I also got a call from my watchmaker back in Oregon the other day letting me know he had a unique Chrono, and well that one is coming as well

As of yesterday I completely hit the reset button and I shipped out my last Automatic watch, which leaves my trusty Luminox on the wrist today and a double incoming tomorrow!

Has anyone else hit the reset button and gone from a collection to nothing to only a few?

All this to say I am finally feeling peace after a long journey of the what's next.... my wife is just praying that I keep at least one

Good luck with that.

I was once called the most prolific flipper on this site. Which is saying quite a bit.

I've genuinely gotten bored with it. That's not to say I don't move watches around, because I do.

But the frequency has changed dramatically.

Haha Seth I knew i would be hearing from you :) Ya you have gone through quite a lot, and quietly I've gone through 30 in the past two years myself. Probably not on your level, but enough to drive my wife nuts

I have no idea how many I have flipped.

No way I would even try and determine where I am at. I am not sure my heart could bear it.

I'm too far down the rabbit hole to contemplate such drastic actions.

Funny thing is I traded it to a guy up north & then was sold to a guy about 45 minutes away from me!!! Lol

HERITAGE82 · 17 March 2016, 09:47 AM

Flipping is a disease that this website breeds... I constantly want to go back to models I let go because I saw some amazing pictures on here on somebody else's wrist and say "that watch does look great".... Then the justification cycle begins :(

bigwatchman · 17 March 2016, 09:50 AM

Really like that speedy.... One of my all time favorites. Congrats.

Racerdj · 17 March 2016, 09:53 AM
