Hi guys! Just seeking advice on what you all may think of getting rid of my milgauss blue dial. I've had it for over a month but not fully convinced it's the right watch for me. I've given it a try but still not convinced. Bought it at a AD and will be taking a little bit of loss at a local watch store who is willing to take it in. Am I making a mistake? Your feelings on this would be welcome.

AK797 · 14 October 2014, 09:33 PM

After 1 month you should be convinced so I would sell - but what for?

brandrea · 14 October 2014, 09:35 PM

Ouch ..... A month and you've fallen out of love? Is there another that has captured your heart

Racerdj · 14 October 2014, 09:36 PM

I have mace the same mistake but it was because of another watch that appeared on my radar. What's next?

Better to suck it up and take the loss now than not and take a bigger loss later. I've had watches that I've had to constantly convince myself to keep, only to later sell. It's not worth the effort and buyer's remorse.

Degas · 14 October 2014, 09:54 PM

Life is short! Flip it!

Roma315 · 14 October 2014, 09:54 PM

If you do sell, sell it yourself not to a watch company. Either sell it or enjoy it...was this an impulse buy?

jjnd08 · 14 October 2014, 10:03 PM

I'd do it. You'll like less and less. Get what you want.

Im Lauf der Zeit · 14 October 2014, 10:06 PM

Sell it immediately before it bothers you more and more while further depreciating...

SUBversive · 14 October 2014, 10:06 PM

I would ask around on who will give you a trade value and get the best credit. Unless you are not looking for another watch.

ufboy73 · 14 October 2014, 10:11 PM

flip it, youll feel better!

Tseg · 14 October 2014, 10:11 PM

Definitely unload if you have doubts just a few weeks in. I've been sitting on a $1K watch of a different brand I bought months and months ago when within the 1st month I knew it wasn't for me. I put it on for a couple minutes every month just to verify my feelings have not changed. It still isn't for me.

xbox · 14 October 2014, 10:15 PM

We flip watches we like, so I fear the writing is on the wall for your mili...

mjclark32 · 14 October 2014, 10:20 PM

Flip it yourself to a non dealer minimize your loss

iclick · 14 October 2014, 10:24 PM

Does the AD have a return policy? Perhaps you could take it back and swap it for something else.

mike · 14 October 2014, 10:31 PM

The real question is "What do you think?"

kilyung · 14 October 2014, 10:33 PM

I doubt you'll turn your feelings around so move it. We all live and learn.

bitpshr · 14 October 2014, 10:39 PM

If it's only around a month old, talk to your AD first. They may give you serious trade up value. Regardless, flip the hell out of that Milgauss asap.

tkerrmd · 14 October 2014, 10:48 PM

it happens, sell it and move on

ltmgeller · 14 October 2014, 10:53 PM

Spell it and move on. Get a watch that makes you happy.

davenotize · 14 October 2014, 10:57 PM

ufff thats my fear everytime I buy a new watch

Mystro · 14 October 2014, 10:59 PM

That particular watch/color combo is a polarizing watch. It was introduced with mix reviews so if you don't love it and can trade it off, then do it. It doesn't have the universal appeal as other models and could be a very tough watch to trade down the road.

mikeceee · 14 October 2014, 11:00 PM

I also grew out of love. Flipped mine for a RG TT YMII still haven't received the new watch yet but don't miss or regret getting rid of it. So do your thing

viper9669 · 14 October 2014, 11:11 PM

Flip it and get another watch that you like.

Ergo · 15 October 2014, 01:59 AM

Thank you guys for the supporting words. It was sort of an impulse purchase, loved it the first day then it was quickly downhill from there. Not sure where to go from here. I'm starting to like the subs, but can't say without first putting one on.

Time Exposure · 15 October 2014, 03:42 AM

We're still waiting for pictures on your "incoming" thread!
If I were you, I'd find a watch from a trusted seller I wanted. I would explain to the seller what happened and ask how much they will credit toward the purchase of their watch.
Be warned...like us, they may ask for pictures!
You might check with the AD to see what they can do, but be prepared to replace your Milgauss with something from their stock.

luvsub · 15 October 2014, 05:08 AM

Flip it, get something you like.

Majin Buu · 15 October 2014, 05:13 AM

No dig
No love
Flip is all you can do, now that is still like new...
That said, doesn't your AD has a return policy..?

Best

cop414 · 15 October 2014, 05:30 AM

If after a full month you can't learn to love it, I agree with most here, flip time!

Lgear080 · 15 October 2014, 05:34 AM

Go try on other watches... Considering your investment -
Obviously rolexes, maybe a jlc, Pam, blancpain, a couple
Tudors, or a gently used AP (for a couple extra bucks on
Top).
