It’s back

I haven’t worn this watch for almost 3 weeks as I was ‘stupidly’ contemplating selling it.

Having missed it alot, I’ve put it back on my wrist today and it’s beautiful.

It is now back to being 99.99% a keeper!

Gorgeous.

What year was the dial config available?
Why did you consider selling it in the first place?
How much are you selling it for? :)

It was discontinued when they brought out the steel/black panda dial and the blue dial I think in 2016.

You know what this addiction is like, just itchy feet but I’d have wanted at least £23000 for it.

I echo this feeling regarding cars I own. Sometimes I think of selling one of my cars that I haven't driven in a while, then I drive them and realize there is no way that's going to happen. Lesson here is to drive your damn cars and wear your damn watches!! YOLO!

It’s a stunner. I’m shocked you’d want to sell it.

If you were thinking of selling your not happy with the watch.... You should sell, that .1 percent of selling will always be there
It's 100 percent or nothing

That is a real good looking dial, always liked arabics on Daytonas, Not the typical run of the mill either. If you ever decide to let it go I'm sure you'd have quite of few takers.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance!?

Congrats on the resurgence! I always tell people when they’re on the fence. Literally pack up your watch like you’re gonna sell it and ship it. Put it away for a month and reopen it. That’s all IF it doesn’t hit you while you’re taping it up.

The struggle is real, I haven’t sold a watch in years, for this very reason. Too expensive to replace. Just add.
