I no longer felt the compulsive and instinctive need to own it.

With respect, won't be a popular opinion, but you probably feel that way because you've been buying all the hype pieces, with no real purpose or direction as to what you really want out of your collection.

[Boaters]

Personally I think you made the right move and what a beautiful collection

[PossumDixon]

How can those Tudors get any wrist time in that collection? I’d have bought they new Sub and sold the 3 Tudors to pay for it.

[Nikrnic]

You have a solid collection there. No worries..

You’ve got all the modern Wilsdorf SS sports watches covered...glad you had your epiphany...wear all of ‘em in good health

[Handey0465]

good job not buying a watch. I’ve not bought many watches. Guess I missed many opportunities to start new threads.

[Fin3908]

Nice collection, enjoy.

Hope you’re keeping well my friend!

Thanks Alan ! All is well my dear friend by the grace of god.
Good to hear from you .

The Tudors do get a fair amount of wrist time when I travel.
Have been bought by me keeping in mind how dangerous it is for people traveling to another country and being mugged for their Rolex’s.
Tudors make great safe under the radar travel companions.

I have been lucky and blessed to own a couple of these brands too.
Unfortunately don’t wear them at all.
Will be passed down to my sons

In hindsight probably you are right about the hyped pieces and it certainly looks that way.
However my focus when I was seeking and buying these was clear.
I wanted a collection of Air Land and Sea Rolex tool watches.
Hence if you notice my collection consists of the following ...the non ceramic, ceramic and the XL (42mm+) air land and sea Rolex’s.
The Tudors were bought on a whim but I really enjoy wearing them when I travel as I feel they are safe and under the radar and don’t attract too much undue attention of the mugging community chaps !

I would probably pass on it too. Good call letting it go to someone else who will value it more than you.. respect

Good on you sir. I'm sure you will feel the itch again but until then, enjoy what you already have.

[HACKNSACK44]

Sweet collection!

[synrrgy]

That collection is stellar!

Yes, thankfully got them all.
In all honesty 16110,16700 and Daytona were planned, so was the ceramic versions and the Tudors were all thought out and planned purchase.
The Sky D the Sea D 43 were bought by me as I like bigger watches and with the arrival of the explorer 2 polar which I specifically asked for the 4th set of XL 42 mm plus Air land and sea collection fell into place.

Agreed x2. If anything I would have brought it in the fold to have the newer sub model but then sold off a couple of Tudors to keep the count the same or smaller.

Great collection, I wish I can resist that temptation like you.

Have to agree!

… which is somehow supported by the OP's statement above.

Building up a very nice collection like this in only 3-4 years, with nearly no wrist time, speaks for itself...

End of the Road .......?. YES

You have a nice collection and if you had wanted the watch that would have been ok but you did not. That is ok also. Enjoy your collection and when it is time you will add or remove models as you see fit.

[TopDog2315]

Great decision!

[samson66]

Perfect collection of sport watches right there. Good call!
