You guys ever sell a watch, regret it and buy it back or buy the same exact thing to replace it?

It happens Jason,
I even Sold a watch to a dealer and then bought the watch back from a local guy in my town and it was the same watch and still had my hand writing on the box...

AWATCH · 24 February 2010, 10:56 AM

I sold a vintage watch once and regretted it ever since, I keep looking I'll find another one someday.

Haha. Makes me feel better.

And yes, Dalip, it was the DSSD. It's only been gone 4 days and I can barely sleep at night ;) The only reason I sold it was because I had a bunch of people I work with (who are twice my age) making comments on how I "must be a big shot" to be wearing that, which I don't understand because everyone I work with makes well into the 6 figures. It's not like we are a bunch of blue-collar warehouse workers (Hahaha. Sorry I had too.)

sleddog · 24 February 2010, 10:59 AM

Yep....Sold my fist Sea Dweller and bought another one back 4 months later!!

Alan111 · 24 February 2010, 11:02 AM

LawMan · 24 February 2010, 11:25 AM

Bought and sold a sea dweller, bought it again and will not let it go.bought and sold a gmt pepsi now i'm buying one for keeps. i had a patek 5146 and sold it back to the original seller who badly wanted it . Sometimes you don't know what you got until its gone ......

godsey · 24 February 2010, 11:27 AM

LOL! That's an awesome story - hope you at least got it back at a lower price than your original sale!

The DSSD, just had to have it back. Next on the list is my beloved Milgauss GV

JohnBoy · 24 February 2010, 11:44 AM

Never! And I have no plans to! I've gotta like it a lot before I buy it.

fsouth · 24 February 2010, 11:49 AM

This all makes me feel better! I have bought, sold, bought, sold and bought the exact same watch before.

I once sold a Daytona and bought it back with my name on the original paperwork and didn't know it until it arrived on my door step.

The SAME Air-King.

I bought a 95/96 used from Air-King in 1999.

Sold it to a friend in 2002.

Bought it back from him when he needed money in 2005.

Sold it to another Coin Dealer I know in 2008.

A Pawn Broker friend called me 2 days after I sold it saying he needed a Rolex to sell a customer of his, I bought it back from the dealer I sold it to for 250.00 over what he paid me 2 days before, and I sold it for another 250.00 over to the pawn broker.

His customer got short on money and sold it back to me in Dec 2009.

I currently have the Air-King for the 4th time.

Wanna buy it??

-Eddie

kcmo · 24 February 2010, 11:58 AM

Yup, I once made the mistake of selling my white roman DJ....immediately regretted it and replaced it (bought a new one, not the same one I had)

HL65 · 24 February 2010, 12:16 PM

Yes--Sub LV.

I actually sold an AP Royal Oak back in 2006 and I found it online a couple years later being sold by the dealer that bought it from me. I had to almost pay double for it but it made sense as it was my original watch.

1000ftSub · 24 February 2010, 12:20 PM

Sorry Jason, did you sell it to someone on this site?

Should have listened to you Mike ;)

He is on the site now. He registered after I told him about it. I met him in Chicago off TimeZone.

hennabav · 24 February 2010, 12:36 PM

I'm afraid of selling my watches as it will be hard to find one in my same condition.

kizerman · 24 February 2010, 12:45 PM

Oh yeah. I sold a PAM once, shipped it overnight and bought it back from the guy before he even received it!

The wife was a bit hurt since I had bought it on our honeymoon so I explained to him and gave him shipping $$ and $100 for his trouble. Nice guy.

dhalem · 24 February 2010, 01:33 PM

I sold my Ulysse Nardin MMD last year and I kinda want one back...

1000ftSub · 24 February 2010, 02:28 PM

O well, it was just a mistake. I do the same stuff sometimes. I rember when I got my new blackberry bold I sold my iphone 3G, and for couple days I missed somethings about it. That's a little different story but I have been there. :)

Jason71 · 24 February 2010, 02:39 PM

I traded an X-serial SeaDweller once. I missed it so bad that I bought another SeaDweller back almost immediately. I have bought 2 more SeaDwellers since, and now have 3
