Has anyone done this....?

Let's say there is this watch you have and you like it alot.

Let's say there is this watch you want and you LOVE it.

You sell the watch you like alot to get the one you LOVE?

Have you done it? Regrets? Perfect thing to do? Thoughts?

Thanks.

Yep, my 3186 Pepsi GMT

Yep

Did it, ZERO regrets, Perfect thing to do "for me"

Thanks.
I thoroughly enjoyed owning my Pepsi & it was my EDC for the last few years but after getting the Sub-C the love faded & it became a safe queen. Extremely satisfied with my decision to flip it for the Panerai which has now made the Sub-C a safe queen. Not flipping the Sub though, one kick-ass Rolex & one kick-ass Panerai is more than enough to keep me smiling.

Yes on all questions. My problem is that the watch I love becomes the one I like a lot. It's a vicious cycle!!!

I'm gonna assume the 372? The one DavidSW had listed made me think twice ...

Sub C and a 312 make a nice combo!

If you have to ask this, Mik i am sure that the regrets will be bigger than the joy of the new watch.
I also speak for myself.

Yes, I have sold a few watches that I want back, but that is just the way it goes. You can not have them all.

I've sold watches on two occasions to buy other watches and have no regrets whatsoever.

Well, it looks like it isn't going to happen. Something out of my control just occured on the other side of the deal and the watch is no longer available, so more time to save and maybe not have to sell anything.
