Thread: A Poll for those that have sold their first nice watch they bought.
Started 1 month, 1 week ago by mfer
I'm considering diversifying my collection.
I often hear that people regret the selling of their first for sentimental reasons. Please let me know your thoughts either way. I have a couple watches in mind that I'm fairly certain I'll never flip and will be good additions to my collection.
Thanks.

PS, my first...
and my collection...
I sold my first to fund my second. I did not loose any sleep over it as the sentimental value transfered from the 1st to the 2nd.
I hope this makes sense
Mik, which are you considering parting with?
My first was a DJ that I sold after a couple of years to upgrade to the newer style DJ and I never looked back! Everyone is different though....my advice is to take your time deciding. A good 'test' is to take the watch or watches you're considering parting with and put them away for a while...see if you miss wearing them.

Great minds think alike. I've put the sub away for a couple weeks already.
Give it some more time and see how you feel. Good luck!
My first was given to me by my brother, so no I will never sell it.
If we are talking about the first nice watch that I bought, then that was flipped many times over.
"I flipped it and regret it."
Unfortunately I did the same thing with the second one, and I'm regretting that one even more... so I feel I've learned my lesson by now!
(I guess you learn the hard way)
Cheers,
Joe
Sold my first (a T series GMT Master pepsi) and I have gotten to the point where I really wish I hadn't. Tread carefully and make sure you're okay with parting with your Sub.

Another way to look at it is this: It's your first Sub. And possibly: Also your first Seiko. Also your first Panarai base. Also your first Cartier. Also your first PAM Luminor Marina. Also your first GMT IIC. Unless it's been through something sentimental with you, or has sentimental value because of how it was acquired, don't worry about it. You can always replace it if you want another Sub. I regret flipping my ND Sub, but not...
