Seriously, I say just sell them all.

rolexington · 14 July 2013, 03:35 AM

Sell one. See how it feels. Continue or stop selling according to that feeling. If you have extra money you don't need, I recommend charity.

padi56 · 14 July 2013, 03:36 AM

Sell them all to fund a nice vintage Daytona or moonphase but doubt if that will do for you as it dont have a Rolex movement inside but one from Valjoux ETA..

landroverking · 14 July 2013, 03:39 AM

What I have done thru the years is give them away to friends as special gifts.

There is not one I have missed.

Rags · 14 July 2013, 03:42 AM

Yes to me for $19.95 but wait if I order now I can get a 2nd collection absolutely free if I pay separate P & H...

Rashid.bk · 14 July 2013, 03:43 AM

Nah bro, put them up for a while. When you look at them again, you'll realize exactly what they mean to you. Even a marriage looses it's passion, but it can be found again.
Don't make a hasty decision.

RolexDivers · 14 July 2013, 04:02 AM

You guys are right .. no need to make a decision in a hurry that I would regret. I have been into watches since the age of 8 or so ... so this passion that has been with me for 43 some years, can just fizzle away, even though it feels like it ...

Most likely it would return ... until then, lock up the rollies in the safe!

ingoodtime · 14 July 2013, 04:15 AM

keep em until you need the funds.

Billywiz · 14 July 2013, 04:20 AM

You dont need the money...so enrich you inner self by dong Somthing magnificent.

Box them up carefully and send them to someone who really deserves them...I'll PM you my address.

landroverking · 14 July 2013, 04:23 AM

Not to seem like an a$$ but non are vintage or even that collectable.
They can all be replaced at of near their curennt value down the road.

Duey · 14 July 2013, 04:33 AM

Sell them all and never look back !

ARTISAN · 14 July 2013, 04:43 AM

I would put them in a safe , and wait, they are all paid for and you don't need the money. 8 months time if you feel the same way, keep 1 and sell the others.
just enjoy your life , watches last forever ,,, we don't.

I collect watches but never wear any , [ plan to leave them to the grand children ]

Thebiglagu · 14 July 2013, 05:00 AM

Am I seeing correctly that u have two d serial 16600's? I'd maybe keep one or two and sell the rest if you're interest in them has past. Anyway keep us posted!

Kingair · 14 July 2013, 05:11 AM

Sell me a SD for a nice price
From next month there will be just 1 hour driving between the both of us ;-)

elohtee · 14 July 2013, 05:36 AM

sell them all... buy one classic, timeless piece such as a vintage calatrava which will retain its value, wear it on special occasions, continue to enjoy your G-shocks for casual wear, and go on a nice vacation!

AK797 · 14 July 2013, 05:44 AM

I agree with those that say sell all and get a gold Rolex or a PP. Those you have are all steel and grey and mostly older models so maybe you are tired of them, you need some colour and vibrancy to restore your interest now.

texex91 · 14 July 2013, 05:52 AM

If you really feel that way, then sell and get a G-Shock as you stated. No one here can make the decision for you. However, why not keep at least one, sell the rest, and then you don't have to worry about it anymore.

srf52 · 14 July 2013, 05:57 AM

...what works for me is to store them in a safety deposit box at the bank. That way the items are protected and removed from daily life, but still under one's control. The fascination eventually returns; does for me anyway.

regards

DCheeta · 14 July 2013, 06:19 AM

They're just things. Give them to family members or friends as gifts, then when you think about them you won't feel regret for selling them, you'll feel great that the people close to you are wearing them.

I understand where you're coming from. I believe strongly in a simple, clean life, uncluttered by material possession...and yet, I own a dozen watches. My watch passion runs counter to my own philosophy. Sometimes I wish I could just give them all away and wear one watch for the rest of my life, but each of my watches means something to me - a milestone in life, a promotion at work, a grail watch that it took me years to track down - and I end up keeping them all.

Bottom line: don't make a decision until you know for sure what he right decision is.

captkevin · 14 July 2013, 06:32 AM

at least sell one of the sea dwellers. Why have two?

dcash0615 · 14 July 2013, 06:54 AM

I say keep your collection even if you don't wear them. You don't need the cash and you said so yourself that the watch craze for you may come back. Hold off and see.

kieselguhr · 14 July 2013, 07:11 AM

Live a little.
Sell it all off.
Come to Vegas.
Go to a roulette table.
Put it all on black.

This may be the single best piece of advice in the thread (and perhaps the Forum). No watch in the OP's list is particularly rare, valuable, irreplaceable or even vintage. So why agonize over hanging on to a grab bag of modern pieces, with duplicates. (And don't assume the prices of these fungible "commodity" items can only go up.) You were a watch buff once, there must be something out there that would excite you to pursue and hold onto. Then like Mike says, put the balance in a real investment... it will have a better chance of appreciating and being there to spend when you find the next thing to obsess over...

novan3 · 14 July 2013, 07:21 AM

Sell them for a Sky-Dweller.

Nycturbovr6 · 14 July 2013, 07:21 AM

I'll take the 16613

bottom of the ninth · 14 July 2013, 08:01 AM

You live in Cali, sell them and buy a bad a$$ Jeep and go enjoy your weekends on all the cool trails
