Anybody else feel compelled to sell when they buy?

Hey guys,

I've monkeying around with buying, selling, trading Rolex for about 5 years now but no matter how many times I trade I always get the compulsion to sell something off when I am getting something in.

For example. I have been rotating my Z serial Sub ND COSC and my DJ 16013 (Which was a present) since the end of last year. Yesterday I traded my Sub ND for an M serial Sub Date. I'm finding that the date feature is uber convenient for me so I'm excited to get it in. And I'm starting a new job, gonna be doing some more travel and it's a nice convenience and a nice reward for my hard work.

So here's the thing: I threw some money in on the trade, I need to get an appraisal done, and I need to ship my watch. So there is some investment involved. Despite the fact that I can afford this I still feel like I have to sell something off to make-up the difference in the spend. As a matter of fact I have it in my mind now all the things I am going to do to make up for the spend (mow my own lawn all summer, do my own mulch, no golf this year, ....) Is anyone else like this? I think if I sell the DJ my family is going to kill me since they think they gave it to me as a gift (I sourced it myself and the wife wrapped it up) They may disown me if I sell my own birthday gift.
