Other days I long for a blue dial instead of the platinum on my wrist, or maybe a champagne dial instead of the black dial on my wrist. Maybe I'm in the mood for pcls or a touch of gold. Those days I am thankful to have choices, and there are many of those days. I also get to appreciate a piece that hasn't seen wrist time in months, and then make it my daily wearer for a while...

In my case though, it's not about constantly flipping. It's about having some variety and sticking with what I have, not the flavor of the month. Just another perspective.

I would have to agree completely. It's good to have a variety to choose from.

I just can't see flipping a watch. Knowing I wanted it soooo bad and than taking less than what I paid for it. Especially when it has that sentimental thing going on there, like a gift. Also never understood getting a watch, then selling that watch, and end up buying it again.

I told myself a long time ago, that if i was going to actually start spending the money on these items and start saving for awhile, that I could never sell them. And also I should never regret buying an item that I've thought so hard about and saved for. Each purchase has been a great journey that had a great ending, just to start a great beginning. Another reason I could never think of flipping a watch. And even though they start to add up, like I said before, I love to have the selection and memories of the watch I have on my wrist.

AN EXAMPLE:
I still have my first watch, a casio G-shock DW-5600 screwback from '85-'86, that my dad gave me. Hell it still has the same battery it came with, and works great. I could easily sell it, but there's so much value to me personally that I never could do it. I would rather save and wait till I bought the watch I was looking at.

So to me when I read that Green Arrow traded his long time watch I thought to myself, wow so much history now gone. I do understand his reasons though. And it's sad to see someone leave cause of it. I wish him good luck, and hope he enjoys his 'lucky watch".

Just my
