I already did :(
To get a doposit on a house, turns out I didn't need the extra cash in the end
The others I sold can be replace. Can't replace my 'first'

This - for me it would be a Seiko 200 pepsi looking thing that my wife bought me, still keeps great time by the way and is on a cool shark mesh bracelet.

Same. For me it's a breitling airwolf raven on rubber strap.

The value is so minimal due to the sized strap that it would never be worth it.

Otherwise nothing in my collection is safe.

Ever.

Even if I love a watch, I prefer to flip more.

My first serious watch: a Rolex 16610 Submariner Date. It probably gets the least amount of love in my current collection but I can never sell it. It was a gift for my medical school graduation promised to me when I was 7 years old and told my parents I wanted to be a doctor.

Definitely wouldn't sell my TT Daytona. It was the very first Rolex I've ever bought after starting my career :]
