If you had to sell 1 - which one??
Hello everyone,
i have come to a decision that i might have to sell one of my watches soon. i am really stuck between which one to sell. i have, my DSSD which was purchased at a rolex dealer and is a G serial, or my 50th Sub which is an M Serial, purchased at a reputable jeweler in my area. both have full box and papers with all tags and everything. any suggestions would be great.

Well...since your LV is your "favorite"...I'd sell the DSSD.

Haha, good point.
I'd probably sell the Deep Sea. You could always pick another one of those up if you're fortunate enough to. The 50th is obviously special to you and seems like it would be a "harder to get back" item. |

That's easy, sell the DSSD unless you spend a bunch of time below 12000ft

I am going to go against the landslide vote and say keep the DSSD and dump the LV! Once I made the move to the new clasp with Glidelock, I find it very hard to enjoy the watches in my collection that don't have it:)

I'd probably sell the watch that would bring in the most vs purchase price. If I had to limit myself to one watch, it would be the Sub, though.

DSSD to go.
More readily replaced and would probably fetch a higher price. Unless of course you like the DSSD better! |

which one gets the least wrist time?
design wise the DSSD is perfect, BUT it is a bit big.
