CRAZY IDEA! Sell all non-Rolex and buy Rolexes?

[Archie42]

Hello,
I am having some crazy thoughts...
I have a small/humble collection of mutil-brands. I say humble as when you look at the Mondani and Mike Wood collections, my collection is not even a collection! My collection is worth the price of a good European car... but it is humble in this environment.

Anyhow, I am think of doing something that is not so reversible....
SELLING all non-Rolex pieces. Putting that money towards Rolex pieces.
I am a "Value" shopper. That means all my piece were bought on the secondary market and I would only buy 5-20 year old pieces! (No new Ceramic GMT for me! - maybe a sapphire GMT but definately holes cases!). I want value.

I think I would realise the following prices:-
Vacheron Constantin 6405 - US$3,250-
Patek Philippe Calatrava box/papers - US$13,000-
Audemars Piguet Ultra Thin w/2003 movement boxed - US$2,000-
Cartier Pather Large box/papers - US$1,500-
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grand Date - US$6,500-
AP Royal Oak 2 Tone Quartz - US$3,500-
Omega Speedmaster Professional w/1171 bracelet boxed - US$1650-
TOTAL REALISED US$31,400-

With these funds I am considered the following Rolex pieces:-
President no diamonds 18238 US$11,000-
DateJust TT Diamonds 16233 US$3,500-
DateJust 16234 US$3,000-
Submariner No Date US$3,250-
Submariner 16610 US$4,500-
GMT Sapphire US$4,000-
APPROX US$30,000-

On the Ladies front:-
Patek 24 - should swap into a Diamond dial Ladies President 69178
The 2 Cartier pieces should swap immediately for a DateJust Two Tone sapphire and also a Steel Oyster no date.

Please give me your opinions! AM I CRAZY?

don't sell any! your collection is stunning! you should totally add to it. every single one is a keeper in my opinion. so i think you should raise funds elsewhere. like for example selling a kidney, used underwear or even your wife!

In a previous thread, the TS wrote that the PP and VC are from his father and grandfather. The other watches were to mark various milestones of his life etc.

I wouldn't sell this collection for "meaningless" rolexes.
