How to tell a watch is headed for the Sales corner

Post by Henryj » Wed Feb 15, 2017 6:48 pm

If you hit a door frame and your very first thought is "This is gonna hurt resale value". I think I'm there with my Pelagos...
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

I love this micro-brand.. same quality as Rolex, but 1/100th the price. Defo a keeper, never looking back, amazed they can hit the same quality at such a good price point.

Truth.

I can think of all the times I haven't said this to myself and I still own all those watches.

Interesting, a bunch of strap changes is usually a signal that my watch is going to hit the Sales corner. It typically means that I'm trying to find some combination that works and not having any luck.

Most of the time I just have to look at the WRUW for the day, then go to the watch box and decide what I can part with to be able to grab whatever it was that I saw on that days thread that I MUST HAVE

As soon as I start to think about what I could get at similar value, I realize the honeymoon is over. Lucky for me, I put a lot of thought into purchases so they stick around for a long vetting period.

I usually do the same and have never sold a watch!

When I open this thread with just the mildest hint that a Pelagos may be coming up for sale and I start to wonder about selling the incoming that hasn't arrived yet!

Dang, I have $XX,000.00 tied up in watches. I never wear THAT one ...
