Buyers Remorse
I just traded my 16610LV for a new Yactmaster (plus $) and now I miss the LV. Don't get me wrong, I love the yacht but now I wish I had both. Anyone else have a similar situation?

I think the YM is a billion times better looking than the 16610LV - Now, if you put it up against the 116610LV my answer would be different.
I had some seller remorse when I sold my first Rolex (Sub C LN) but I got over it the minute I added a second one to the collection. Enjoy the YM! Gorgeous watch for sure.

You'll get over it. Don't retrace steps and buy back the LV. You flipped it for a reason

You wish you had 2 Rolexes instead of 1? Nope, never heard such mad talk before.
I'd save and add the LV back. |

As for remorse or regrets, I haven't had any. As for the 16610LV vs the Blue YM, it's a tough call. I just picked up a 16610LV. I also have the blue YM. I think they are both great pieces. I think I'll end up wearing the Sub more when I might get my hands dirty.

I have never has buyers remorse...just sellers remorse. Even that was limited to when I sold the first Rolex that I owned. Am wearing the blue dial YM as I type. It is such a versatile watch as blue goes with so much more than green IMO.

Well you can always wait until you get another one although it is a special watch and prices keep on rising especially for pristine examples with box and original papers. the YM looks good though although i would go with the Sub. Enjoy the new watch man!

I can't agree with the majority sentiment expressed above. I would have kept the Submariner as it is only going up in value and is the best looking Rolex for a long while (in my humble opinion).

You have a great looking watch there. I'd add another LV later if you miss it.

DO NOT MAKE ANY IMPULSIVE DECISIONS RIGHT NOW!
Give it a few days and enjoy your new watch. Feelings change! |

Chaps
Buyers or sellers remorse is a delayed reaction telling you that you screwed up. If you do a deal and regret it a few days afterwards, you simply did not think it through enough. Once you done the deal, that's it, the thinking time is over and you just have to move on. Regards Mick |

Enjoy your new acquisition. It's a delight to behold. |

Yours is a case of seller remorse and it happens, but like some said you flipped for a reason only you know. Time will tell.

That's a great piece. That said, it would be am addition for me. Not a trade.

I think you made a good choice. Now a 6 digit lv would be different. But the upgrades in the 6 digit watches are amazing.
