  • Your biggest regret... (of selling a watch)

    Hi guys, I don't think I have seen this topic here so I decided to start one for a small discussion.

    What is your biggest regret, when it came to selling a "unwanted" watch? Well, for me it has to be my Omega Speedmaster Pro. I sold it off thinking I was "bored" of its looks. But now... I'm feeling the regret. I really miss its reliable handwinding workhorse movement, pressing the chronometer buttons and even cleaning the strap and placing it nicely in my watch box.

    Oh well its too late now, it has been sent to its new home where its probably well taken care off.

                      Hi,

                      How about regret for not buying a particular watch?

                      Well, when I just started work, a no-date Sub was going for $2.6k IIRC....I hesitated...repeatedly

                      Then, a Daytona was listed around $8k+, but mkt was $10-11k...it was totally out of my range

                      Oso...when I finally got my 1st Rollie...GMT II...it was because it came with a discount while Sub was no discount & no stock ... but this one maybe a little lucky, cos it became discontinued

                          I felt sad when i sold some of my watches but i've never regretted at all. I was flipping to get new ones.
