Breaking the Bubble.....

[Scott D]

Ok, decision made and.........





SOLD!

I have a friend whose been wanting it for quite awhile, and asks me once or twice a year. So, sold it to him with the condition that should he ever decide to sell it, I get first chance to buy for a set price we agreed upon.... I'm pretty happy as it made his day, and I know it went to a good home that'll get worn & taken care of (and plus I'll get to visit it) and if I get sellers remorse, I can buy it back later if he sells. I don't think I could have sold it to a 'stranger', such as ebay, store trade or the paper as I wouldn't know the home condition it was going to. Actually, I felt pretty good being able to give it to him, almost as if I'd gotten a new watch instead of him.

So there it is.. First watch sale ever completed.. Now that the dam's been broke, stay tuned for "Scott's Unbelievable Watch Fire Sale" ;D (NOT!)....


Though I will get pictures of it when I get a chance & post.. I know you 'vintage' guys would really like how it looks!

So, you are flipping the PO???



You going to be like ''King Flipper'' from the land down under?

Speaking of him, haven't seen JJ for a long time here on WTF...

But lets stay on topic.... ;D ;D ;D

Have another timepiece in mind Scott???

[Scott D]

No, I'm not flippin' the PO, or anything else right now.

Just seeing if Zin was lurkin' there.... ;D


And yea, not that you mention it, I haven't seen JJ in awhile either.. Maybe he's on a walkabout.... ;D

Be a pragmatist Scott, free up the capital for something else and if you regret it down the line you could always get another.
I regretted selling my non-date Sub 2 years ago which was why i got another (cosc etc) a couple of weeks ago.
I sold a SS Datejust black-dial jubilee bracelet earlier this year and was not sorry.
I also sold 3 Omega's and didn't regret that either.
Sometimes i find when i think i'm falling out of love with something, the process of deciding to sell it gets me thinking how much i could miss it, and before i know it, i'm smitten all over again!
My last peice of advice would be to make your mind up fast, as i think more is lost by indecision than a wrong decision.
Good luck!

Good advise!

And the minds already made up & the GMT sold... I really don't think I'll regret it, I haven't worn it for quite awhile and have others I enjoy much more.... And, to be honest I'll admit when I bought it I really wanted the sub, but got a fantastic deal on the GMT, so much I couldn't refuse. Now don't get me wrong. I enjoyed it very much & wore it quite a bit the first few years, so I got my enjoyment out of it. Now my friend can get that same enjoyment.
