I have flipped quite a few watches in the past - some quite good ones- including:-

rolex datejust on a jubilee strap
rolex explorer 2 40mm polar
omega seamaster GMT
omega speedmaster moonwatch
IWC mark XV
breitling navitimer

the only one I regret parting with at the moment is the explorer - and I got a very por price for it selling it to a friend.
anyone else ever flipped a watch and then regretted it later?

have you missed the watch so much that you have had to go out and buy it again to make up for the mistake? I suspect a 42mm explorer 2 polar could well feature in my collection some day.

Yeah, I sold an Omega Ploprof. Kinda miss that one.

johnbeth · 18 February 2012, 10:52 PM

I regret all the time...

I regret selling my Cellini only because it was my first Rolex and I didn't really need to sell it, just wanted a new one.

Sometimes you don't realize something has posterity until it's gone.

I did a bad deal on my pam210,regret but can t help

sleddog · 18 February 2012, 11:27 PM

Yep, sold one only to turn around and buy back the same model less than 3 months later!!

Never again will that happen....

HL65 · 18 February 2012, 11:36 PM

Of course...recently bought back the 4 I regretted most! We all make mistakes- esepecially when it comes to flipping!

kilyung · 18 February 2012, 11:58 PM

Earlier this year sold four that I ended buying back.

Lots of times but you can not have them all!

Kayaker52 · 24 February 2012, 04:13 AM

I regret every Rolex model I have flipped in the 40 years of owning them,the 1016 Explorer that I paid 450.00 for in 1986,I WANT IT BACK,but the cost today is out of my price range...I own a 1956 datejust now,that is probably my last Rolex!!!

Rick154 · 24 February 2012, 10:19 AM

Sold my Omega PO and miss it in the worst way. Wish I never did it.

DARK_KNIGHT · 24 February 2012, 10:35 AM

Yes sir ! I traded the first Rolex I bought on my own. I should have kept it for sentimental value.

Worst of all, I did it for a watch I used maybe three times max. The one I used for trade value, I practically used all the time and the one I traded for, I no longer use.

Live and learn.

Yep, sold a Sinn U1 W and really regret it. Cheers, Bill P.

Miss my AP grand prix :(

T-Rip · 24 February 2012, 11:33 AM

I had a GMTIIC that I flipped for a Ym and I regretted every second until I got my grail...my DSSD. Now I have never looked bad...that sounded cheesy. Lol

Very touchy...

I never flipped a watch yet so I can't tell but I do have a couple of them for sale right now and do not regret that decision.

mfer · 24 February 2012, 12:22 PM

Only flipped one so far. Been about a year and no regrets!

IIc for a 190

MrJ320 · 25 February 2012, 02:24 PM

Definitely miss my BP 5002, but no regret, as it allowed me to acquire my first AP. Would've been nice if I could've kept the BP, but hopefully I can re-acquire it some day.
