I did so with the YM2 TT, I really liked the watch, but for some vanity reason I decided to trade it for haute horlogerie, a VC overseas dual time, which didn't have much staying power for me. I also thought the YM2 model was a little crass, but as I grew more into my skin, I find that I myself may not have the most sophisticated or traditionally classic taste.

After that I remembered how this watch made me feel: summer glory, breezy and happy, I love that the TT YM2 has such a different play of colours, its bold, its substantial, its me and I miss it!

So here I am again, with the same watch, might not be the watch for everyone, but I sure as hell love it!

Welcome back to the stables old friend!

breitlings · 23 May 2018, 12:38 AM

i know that feeling.

beshannon · 23 May 2018, 12:42 AM

No

vinny84 · 23 May 2018, 01:01 AM

Not yet, but one never knows!

Rashid.bk · 23 May 2018, 01:23 AM

Yes, my Deepsea. Bought twice, now waiting for the third, which is a charm. Won't be moving it this time.

Hard_Six · 23 May 2018, 01:24 AM

Yes, the bluesy!

And I think the only way I'd let it go again would be for the 116618LB. They are too redundant to own both imo.

Gaijin · 23 May 2018, 01:32 AM

Yes. Two Blue TT Subs. Two Black Dial Explorer IIs. Two Blue Dial Air Kings. Two SS GMT II Cs. Two SS Daytonas. Three LVs ( Two I still have. ) The rest all gone. Came, gone, bought again and gone again.

The silver lining to this is while I burned through some money I enjoyed the purchases and it was back in the days of reasonable discounts on certain models. Did I lose money? Yes.

but I have a clear feeling now when I buy something if I will keep it or not and lately I have.

Totoro · 23 May 2018, 01:57 AM

Regret selling my Deepsea black. Might replace it with the new James Cameron. Definitely regret selling my AP15202st. Can't buy it back without a super long wait or premium

I know that feels brother, all just part of the game, you win some you lose some, but damn the ride was fun!

More times than I care to admit, but all were enjoyable experiences that helped me realize exactly where my tastes are in watches and what I like and don't. All part of the collecting journey.

Rentalcarman · 23 May 2018, 02:12 AM

2 James Cameron, 1 SD4K, 2 SD43, 2 Hulk, 2 TT 18KT Black Subs, 2 TT Bluesey, 2 Subs, 1 RG YM and 1 RG TT YM, 1 Solid Gold Sub, and 1 Smurf..... Dammit!!

imperio · 23 May 2018, 02:14 AM

Yes I have, many times.

Langnam · 23 May 2018, 02:26 AM

Um, never. In fact, I have 4 Rolex, one dating back to 2001.

Have never sold a Rolex, but have sold 2 Langes and a JLC.

No regrets on the non-Rolex models.

116234 DJ gone but will turn back. Identical or almost identical.. It's important to learn not to flip...

mementomori1983 · 23 May 2018, 02:29 AM

I acquired and flipped a 16570 three times. Beautiful watch, but the Sub, GMT, and DJs kept bumping it off my wrist.

ac_eddings · 23 May 2018, 03:30 AM

BLNR but will return to the collection eventually.

Isn’t a 16750 a GMT?

scarlet knight · 23 May 2018, 04:09 AM

I sold DJ2 with Wimbledon dial in two tone. I have some regrets. May get a Bluesy.

Mobikid · 23 May 2018, 04:21 AM

Yes! Just happened recently! Sold my LVc, after a few days bought another one!

Not yet but a Panerai yes.

bp1000 · 23 May 2018, 04:23 AM

No

Because i've never flipped a Rolex, or any watch.

DubaiRolex2000 · 23 May 2018, 04:24 AM

Did you repurchase the same watch?

SeaDweller50 · 23 May 2018, 04:49 AM

Guilty.

Gerardus · 23 May 2018, 04:54 AM

Yes, several times.

HogwldFLTR · 23 May 2018, 05:22 AM

This is at least the third thread on the subject that I recall. And yes I have. Here's a similar thread.
