Should I sell my Hamilton Khaki?

Going back and forth with whether or not I should sell this watch. I do have some cool memories with it, but I just don't really wear it much. I have a small wrist, so I seem to think that it sits a bit big on it, so thats a big reason why it doesn't get much wear. Should I try it on another strap, or flip it? What do you guys think?
Thanks!

Do you have something in mind if you flipped it? If you do, and you think that watch will receive more wrist time, I'd say go for it. If not, I'd keep it for the memories you said you had with that watch

No, I don't, was just thinking of scaling back what I have to ones that I actually wear. Shame that this one just sits in the box..but the memories I have with it(cool hikes with good friends..etc) make it hard to part with. Maybe I will try it on a new strap..

It's not like you'd be freeing up a huge amount of cash by selling it. It's a handsome watch. Changing bands and straps is a fun way to play with watches. Keep it.

Tough one-- that's a great reference, especially for the $$.

If you need to free up funds for something in particular it might make sense to sell.
