I don't have a list but since joining here there have been a few
3 Subs (14060, 14060M, TT-Bluesy) 3 Daytona's (SS White, TT Arabic, TT MOP) 1 RG DD 2 Omega SMP's 2 Balls 3 Marathon GSARs 2 Explorer IIs (Black & White) 1 Zenith Elite 1 Root Beer GMT 1 Explorer 36mm 1 Air-King 3 TT DJs (silver, champagne & smoky gold) I'm sure there are some more I can't recall...best thing about it is that I learned a lot from the great folks here on TRF!

Well done!
It's good to try new things to tell weather you like them or not. Any keepers? |

No. Actually, nor do I want to. I'd rather to find keepers and maybe add more keepers to have a bigger collection. 7 watches would be nice.

That's an impressive list. I would have a hard time handing over my Rolex.

Wow!!! In my 25 years of wearing Rolex I have only flipped two, both as trade-ins on new ones, not as outright sales. I mainly just think about flipping as a form of entertainment.

Yes, I have literally done twice that. Right around 40 watches. It's a hobby. No different than any other hobby.

I can relate...how else can you find out what you like if you don't try a few?
 I, too, am curious as to what-if any-are left?

I'm afraid to make a list. It would be similar or worse. But it's my hobby. I enjoy it. I wanted to stop at one point, but I've finally embraced it.

Not worth 'beating'. Too many watches, too much turnover to appreciate and enjoy any of them, to me.
