To sell or to keep?

[Leebh]

First time I have opened the box on this watch for 3 years. Is it time to sell or keep ?

[beshannon]

I would say sell. First time in three years?

[Joe_Row]

as someone who would wear that thing 24/7, that is sad to see.

[Kevin of Larchmont]

Keep it and wear it, sell it if you need the money.

[AlbionJackal]

Blimey... you must have some crackers if you don't wear that!

[Harry-57]

If you want to sell it, sell it. If you want to keep it, keep it.

I'd be wearing it myself.

[Driver8]

I read somewhere that if you haven't used a particular item in over a year, there's an extremely high chance you will never use it.

If you've not even opened the box in 3 years, then it's probably safe to say you are getting zero utility from it? Absolutely time to sell.

[Carguy87]

Might as well cash in on the hype train now and put the cash towards something you would wear. If your AD sells used Rolex as well see about a trade in. Having that on trade should make you magically appear at the top of the list for whichever reference you’re looking for next.

Those things, or donate it to a budding Rolex collector in need like me and I’ll be eternally grateful lol.

Well given you have not worn it, you wither don't like or or kept as an investment. In either case, its hard to bond with a watch, develop associations and memories while wearing it and so not likely to become attached to it-its simply another "thing" or "object" you have sitting around the house or vault. What I would say is, strap it on or send it on.

If you’re not wearing it, what’s the point?

[CanPam]

Sell it.

Got to ask why did you buy it.

[Spoonage]

If you don't feel the need to wear it I would sell it. Longest I've ever gone without wearing a particular watch was a few months. Mainly because it's a "dressier" watch with a 50M water resistance and I was training out in the field.

[Beto737]

I sold mine right before it got discontinued. If I’m being honest, I sometimes regret that decision..

Try not to sell discontinued models and never sell Daytonas.

If you don't wear it, sell it.

[JParm]

That's sad...3 years?!

The Hulk is too pretty to keep boxed up and unused. I wear mine all the time and if it's just going to collect dust, you might as well sell now.

[erict]

I sold mine when the bubble was just beginning. I sometimes regret not making a larger profit, but I got something I actually wear and enjoy so much more. Life is short…

[jarecki]

I’d just sell it.

I subscribe to that same theory too and wouldn't you know that about a month ago I went camping and couldn't find my tent or stove and then remembered that I gave them away because I hadn't used them in a couple years.

[norcalctr]

Sell it since you don't use it. It'll fetch a nice price.

[Jackie Daytona]

Sell it

Exactly! Don't understand why spend the money and not wear it.

[JayHantz]

The fact this hasn't been worn and enjoyed breaks my heart.

Unless it is still “stickered,” wear it for two weeks. It is considered “used” and has same value whether you wear it or not.

After wearing it for a bit you’ll know whether to keep it (it sings to you) or sell it (the profit is worth more to you).

Keeping that Rolex (or any Rolex for that matter) in a box for three years is rather sad. Rolexes are made to be worn as I see it, and you obviously don't connect with it or care for it! So that said I'd say sell it to someone who'll appreciate it and wear it!

[Daytona88]

sell it!

[Adam84]

Sell it and buy something you’ll actually wear like a g shock or invicta

[Turbo Racer]

I also think you should sell and either save the money or buy something you really like. Beautiful watch!

[chaokuay]

Keep; this is the worst time to sell

[HHIslander]

Sell sell sell.
