Some of the watches I sold on eBay to get my first Rolex. Don't get me wrong,they were great watches, but it was time to move on.

The upgrade cycle has started!

Nothing wrong with moving out the old and bringing in the new :

Wait until you start contemplating Pateks and ALS

I've sold cars, guitars, and other assets in order to obtain a rolex- welcome to the club...!

I will admit I've sold quite a few watches over time. Only one I regret is a Tudor sub which I sold to fund my SeaDweller. I think at the time I got $900 for it and was happy! This was about 12 years ago.

To make it relevant to this post, I've sold off sinn, kobold, Tutima, Oris , omega, Seiko, glycine (2x airman 2000 and incursore), iwc, Tudor, heuer that I can recall.

Sorry that picture is upside down. Must have been from the home run derby drinks which is happening just a few miles away.

My last 3 watches I have sold have all been for more than I paid for them. It is not the most dangerous hobby, as long as you can afford what you ahave and have pieces that can be sold it is a safe area.

Here you go Tye.

Relyt · 16 July 2015, 10:50 AM

Thanks.

Man I miss some of those. But I hate to say it, but none of them give me the same feeling as when I'm wearing my Rolex.

Don't look back 👍

I did a count the other night have sold 10 watches in the last 4 years, currently holding 5. Of the 10 most came in that period of time as well. The only older one had been my TAG Chrono which I bought around 11 years ago before I got into watches big time.

You'll be glad

Rockrolex · 20 July 2015, 02:50 AM

I haven't sold or otherwise disposed of any watches. I now have 4 Rolexes, 2 G-Shocks, a Citizen Skyhawk, 1 GP ww.tc, a Breitling Navitimer Olympus, a JLC Master Geographic, an Oris Worldtimer, a Glycine Airman 9, an IWC GST 3756 PC/Chronograph, and an Eterna Soleure Chronograph.
