got offered $1500 for my 2004 sub. so glad i felt offended at the offer. never flipped a piece, so no regrets. only regret paying retail.

ILuvSubs · 2 August 2018, 02:12 PM

Ken, Your current collection is pretty amazing, with the RG 15202, 5711, LF, etc. Never look back!

I have many other examples like it but I will stop at those.

My Sub on a leather strap for a change up...

My 6263 next to my old 6241 another mistake...

I think you win. Might as well close the thread.

I dont regret selling but regret not buying 1675's for $2k only a couple years ago

I think zenith Daytona prices will drop as they make more ceramic ones but plastic Rolex will stay at these prices

CorradoBrit · 19 December 2018, 02:11 AM

House in SF. Paid $309K in 1997, sold for $630K in 2003 now valued at $2.3 million.

CPRWATCH · 19 December 2018, 02:22 AM

This ,sold it for absolute silly money & the only watch I've ever regretted selling .

porschejeff · 19 December 2018, 03:26 AM

Traded my white dial 116520 random serial before they were discontinued and got a trade value of about $10K :(

Seibei · 19 December 2018, 04:03 AM

I never sold a Rolex, and hopefully I never will.

ouch

14060M. It was my first Rolex, and I was called over to the maxi-dark side with the promise of glidelock comfort and ceramic shininess. For the paltry sum that I got for it (around $4K) I should have just tucked it away.

Oh well.

HogwldFLTR · 19 December 2018, 05:08 AM

Perfectly happy having recently traded 19 watches for two and a full service from Rolex. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.

vintageguy · 19 December 2018, 05:56 AM

when I was younger, I thought a date window was essential, so I sold my EXP1. I'm more
mature now, & I realize "I don't need no stinking date." I recently found this one at an
estate sale, LNIB, all box & cards. it even had the green sticker on the back. a keeper for sure.

Oh boy, that’s just way too nice.

Me either. Never sold, hopefully never will.

rogue828 · 19 December 2018, 01:22 PM

Had a guy put almost seven "stacks" on a table in front of me for my "Kermit" and took the offer. Had the Kermit for 10 years and enjoyed it but doubled my investment. I recently found the batman and bought it from my AD in Spartanburg. Four months later the guy sees me and reminds me what the Kermit is selling for now..but I love the batman and couldn't keep both. Its my fourth and probably last. Cheers

redsubby · 20 December 2018, 12:50 AM

1680 red sub, two of them.
5513
116520 black, twice
Kermit
Hulk

Manu74 · 20 December 2018, 12:59 AM

I regret selling my first Rolex, a 16610.

TimingIsEverything · 20 December 2018, 01:03 AM

Two-tone RG black dial Turn-o-Graph.

lenfried29 · 20 December 2018, 01:17 AM

I start late in this game. Recently purchased Daytona 116500LN for MSRP. But after battling with my self the "can't comprehend over $20K watch on my wrist" took over.
So, I put the watch for sale. Got few offers but declined them, and hopping nobody buy it.
I think, if I sell the watch that I was desire so much, I'll regret parting with it?

AK797 · 20 December 2018, 02:07 AM

Everybody's got something they had to leave behind, one regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time... well so far I don't even if S Club tell me I do five times a day all this month.

pablondy · 20 December 2018, 07:44 AM

I sold my Hulk (2013) and my Explorer (2014). cry cry cry
I keep my Milgauss (2012) and my Kermit (2008)

SS Oyster · 20 December 2018, 02:09 PM

My biggest regrets in order below:
#1 Kermit
#2 Hulk

Last picture is of them together, albeit with the Kermit sporting a LN bezel (I had both). What a shame.

SS Oyster · 20 December 2018, 02:11 PM

Oh, and third my 5513

My first: TT Air King Date. Had it 14 years, no service and it ran perfectly. Trouble was, back then no web for service info or advice, case and bezel were worn to hell.(fluted bez almost could pass for smooth) and 34mm was always way too small.

Sold my 116520 (white dial) for about $7400 a few months before they stopped the production of it

m j b · 20 December 2018, 10:56 PM

Funny, I didn't realize that this was a resurrected thread, and posted my regret twice.

Anyway... it's nice to read that I'm not the only one (the regret, not double posting).
