So I've been selling off my collection

18038 daydate
16550 explorer 2
16013 bi metal Datejust
16234 datejust
Cartier Santos 100
6749 oyster perpetual
114200 Airking

And replaced them with this.....

But after saving hard, me and my girlfriend have had our offer accepted on our first property. No more renting and paying the landlords mortgage for him!

Nice choice, on the watch and the property. best of luck!

Well done!! Congrats. And the Sistem51 will do a great job holding you over until you re-build the collection. I have the same version and love it.

Vincent65 · 3 June 2015, 05:01 AM

Congrats on the home!

stockae92 · 3 June 2015, 05:20 AM

you did the right thing. you can buy more watches with the tax you saved from the property tax deduction :)

SearChart · 3 June 2015, 05:24 AM

Congrats on your new home!

cop414 · 3 June 2015, 05:57 AM

Good for you, your priorities are straight. The watches will return while the value of your new property just continue to grow!

blufinz52 · 3 June 2015, 06:10 AM

Mixed emotions...like watching your mother in law drive off a cliff with your new Mercedes!

Congrats and good luck with the new property.

mjclark32 · 3 June 2015, 06:52 AM

Congrats on the new house!
My wife and I bought our first house a little over three years ago (about 2.5 years out of college). It's been great, but man, there is always something to put money in to.
All the best!

guelerct · 3 June 2015, 07:25 AM

Great call

swils8610 · 3 June 2015, 07:26 AM

Congrats! You can always rebuild a new collection!

1st amg · 3 June 2015, 07:39 AM

Smart move, the watches will all make their way back in your life. You are on the right track!

watchwatcher · 3 June 2015, 10:27 AM

Nicely done.

That's a good looking swatch, too.

GB-man · 3 June 2015, 10:40 AM

Refreshing and I applaud you! Home ownership can be a handful but it's rewarding having your own

aria · 3 June 2015, 02:45 PM

Thank you everyone.

Agreed. It's always a $100 here, $50 here...and then you get to do what I just did on Friday, and drop a small fortune on a new AC/Heater for the house.

Congrats on the house though! You'll enjoy it!

Rookie mistake JJ. Should have bought a new Rolex and a block of ice, a fan, and some matches.

Place fan in front of ice during summer, then slowly burn trees you steal from your neighbors all winter

james1787 · 4 June 2015, 11:29 AM

Congrats! We bought our first home 5 years ago. It sure beats paying rent. You had quite a collection there, I'm sure it won't be long until another Rolex comes your way.

aria · 5 June 2015, 07:17 PM

Thanks guys.
Time to start squirrelling away for a new watch

rolio · 5 June 2015, 09:52 PM

That was a great decision

I could have probably held off on the purchase for another year, but my fiancé wouldn't have been thrilled at my choice!
