Albeit I also would be ok with buying them back if prices make sense again.

Right now, there are plenty of pieces out there to be had that are haute, rare, and aesthetically pleasing that are reasonably priced in comparison to the major players. When certain pieces are this hot, it just means someone will eventually get stuck holding the potato.

I will say, it has been nice getting retail back on a few pieces I thought I would eventually eat dirt on.

Very refreshing perspective.

This seriously has me thinking of off loading my LVc at some point, as it spends a little more time in the safe these days due to all the hype. It’s insured, but as a 5’2” female I don’t want to be threatened or hurt if someone steals it (silly thought I know…but I’m old. Lol). I have nobody interested in the Hulk to pass it down to so it will be sold someday anyway!

I have a few Gs and love them but could never see selling my Rolex watches and going exclusive G BUT that's just me. You have to do whatever you feel is right for you.
If I was in your position Id pick up a GShock and toss the Sub in the safe.
Wear the G for a couple months and then decide if you want to part with the sub.
