To sell or to keep?
First time I have opened the box on this watch for 3 years. Is it time to sell or keep ?

as someone who would wear that thing 24/7, that is sad to see.

Keep it and wear it, sell it if you need the money.

If you want to sell it, sell it. If you want to keep it, keep it.
I'd be wearing it myself. |

I read somewhere that if you haven't used a particular item in over a year, there's an extremely high chance you will never use it.
If you've not even opened the box in 3 years, then it's probably safe to say you are getting zero utility from it? Absolutely time to sell.

Might as well cash in on the hype train now and put the cash towards something you would wear. If your AD sells used Rolex as well see about a trade in. Having that on trade should make you magically appear at the top of the list for whichever reference you’re looking for next.
Those things, or donate it to a budding Rolex collector in need like me and I’ll be eternally grateful lol. |

If you’re not wearing it, what’s the point?

Exactly! Don't understand why spend the money and not wear it.

Bought it because I like the watch at the time compared to my Batman. Once I bought it I only wore it a couple of times and went back to the Batman.

If you don't feel the need to wear it I would sell it. Longest I've ever gone without wearing a particular watch was a few months. Mainly because it's a "dressier" watch with a 50M water resistance and I was training out in the field.

I sold mine right before it got discontinued. If I’m being honest, I sometimes regret that decision..
Try not to sell discontinued models and never sell Daytonas. |

I sold mine when the bubble was just beginning. I sometimes regret not making a larger profit, but I got something I actually wear and enjoy so much more. Life is short…

Doesn't sound like you need the money. I'd keep it. I'm sure since you have just pulled it out again, you may be inclined to wear it occasionally.
I go through periods of not using something and then start again when the moment hits. I have a bunch of nice guitars that I go in cycles with. That being said, if there is something that you would prefer, sell it and don't look back. |

That's sad...3 years?!
The Hulk is too pretty to keep boxed up and unused. I wear mine all the time and if it's just going to collect dust, you might as well sell now.
