Bought this one 2 months ago, and it will NEVER leave my collection. It's a keeper for life!

posted this in another thread, but as a wedding gift, don't think this Milgauss is going anywhere:

Hopefully this one. But I never know when the economy will stall out again and I would rather sell assets making payroll than laying my devoted employees off. I'd rather say, it might be my last one.

The 6605 TT DJ my grandfather bought new while in Switzerland back in 1958. It was passed to my father & then to me. When my boy is responsible & old enough it will be his.

All of them, I have "letting go" issues... I have a Tag F1 I can't remember the last time I wore and even then there's no plans of a getting a few $$ out of it. But I guess if I had to choose one it's gotta be my Explorer I. At least I'd be left with something versatile I can wear in any occasion.

Icon10 Never sell

I will never sell my grail watch because of it's history of the style of watch and of the celestial origins of the dial coupled with the the fact that no two are alike. I am, however looking at a TT Daytona with a white MOP diamond dial for some of the same reasons.

My Dad gave me this about 15 years ago
It was his that he wore daily
Since his passing almost 9 years ago I have had many Rolex but none that have meant as much as this old Seiko

Of my three. The Hulk and 1680 are 1000% not going anywhere.

The smurf "MAY" go in the future to make way for something else equally as special - but it is highly unlikely.
