To the flippers: Which watch will you still own at the end of 2015?

To all the flippers (like me) out there...

Which watch did you purchase recently, that you believe you will still own at the end of 2015?

Let this thread be brought back in December and let's see if you managed to hold on to it.


I'll start...If I have to make a prediction, the only watch that I might still have in December is this...

I am a serial flipper 6 departures in 2015, but I am getting close to my perfect deck so I would like to think none, the Daytona is most at risk but only to be upgraded to full gold model.

I'll definitely have my Daytona, but I also don't think I'll add any pieces. I'm more focused on my motorcycle this year than anything, but I never say never.



I've had a rough go in the flipping game, and I took a few steps back. I am loving only having my Daytona, and enjoying it to it's fullest.

My 114060 will be here. That being said, I'm struggling to find a perfect trio. Not sure if it possible.

I predict I will have 100% turn over. I have been nothing short of ridiculous as of late and I need to slow right down!

This is an AP year for me. Next year (2016) will either be a Rolex or a Patek year, the jury is out on that one. Let's see what the show brings this year:)

I'm so glad that my flipping madness has definitely ended. I don't foresee my Daytona going anywhere and also no other pieces coming here. I'm happy to see all your fantastic watches here on the forum and doing some window shopping every once in a while.

I'm not a serial flipper, having only flipped 2. I'd venture to guess I won't be flipping my birth year Sub any time soon.

I flip bigtime. Not sure I could ever let blnr go, unless I moved several for wg version although even then I may justify holding both
