I've never understood wearing a watch I'm trying to sell.

1. It might get knocked and then I'll have to take more photos, revise the description and lower the price.
2. I might end up keeping it again, when I really should be selling it.

Once it's up for sale, it stays in the box until it sells.

"Sellers remorse". We all know it happens. Have you ever sold a watch you wish you hadn't?

Good point - perhaps I should put it in its box and leave it. Whilst it's for sale I won't wear it out of the house. Just saw it sat in the safe today and snuck a quick look on the wrist and had second thoughts. I'll put it away now and leave it for a bit and see how I feel in time.

Fatal error :lol:

I can understand your doubts – it's a beauty – and I've done the same. Nowadays I make sure I'm sure and then that's it. Mind you, if it hasn't sold after a month I might start wearing it again. I did it with the Eterna 1939 Heritage.

Worthy of its own thread. Never regretted a sale. Have had pangs of regret after years of being without it and looking back at photos but never enough to buy another. Why would you sell if you regret it?
I miss all the great things that may never be.

^^^ Agree Pete,

I may have sold many watches but I have sold them all for a reason. Some of them have been truely fantastic watches but not for me at that time. No point looking back...
