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.

The watch that made me want a Rolex and was a fifth anniv. gift from my wife... that one is with me for the long haul.

I will never sell my 16234 too much sentimental value. It's getting a full service currently.
