And finally let go of my 116710LN. After five years of almost daily wear, scuffed, scratched and scarred, still fetched me an offer about 50% on top of the price acquired.
Signs of the times I guess...I had been getting an odd feeling wearing the thing every day and especially ever since I got my BB GMT.
I found the Tudor more practical in just about every respect and subject to the normal depreciation of tear and wear, it's a watch one wears without having to think twice.
And don't get me wrong, by having to think twice, I mean that I just couldn't get past the fact that my daily beater ended up costing more than it's really worth.
It's not a limited production piece, it's not a vintage one, heck it wasn't even popular back in the day. A rising tide lifts all boats, sure, but add the hype and people's fear of missing out and what you get, is something I just don't agree with.
I almost feel for those having to spend outrageous sums of money, sometimes 100% over MSRP just to get one over hyped model. Yes it's a free market, yes, it's offer and demand, I'm fully aware and okay with it all.
But I firmly believe these contemporary stainless steel watches are just not worth the going price. And for this reason I'm cashing out of the SS...
