I have personally grown disenchanted with so many watches. I'm in the process of trading 7 Rolex pieces for a 5980 Patek blue dial. I guess my collection just grew too large over time.

No regrets whatsoever in moving from Rolex, Panerai, Omega, etc. to PP and AP. I still may buy a Rolex at some point, but it's far down the list.

Blue dial! I sold them back for a bit less than I could have gotten otherwise, but still more than I paid. As you said, it was a win-win. And no I don’t think that they would have sold me the 5711 without the trade. |

That s what i think ,i m enjoy 5 at the moment but my plan to go 4 ,on the other hand the watches “should”go making at least 10% annual so might be my idea isn t brilliant at all.

No regrets because I haven’t done it
I can’t imagine getting rid of some of my watches to get into Patek. If I can’t afford outright I’m not buying it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This thread reminds me I have 16710 sitting in a safe. It doesn't get any wrist time since I got the 5711 almost 8 years ago. No comparison. It's simple, elegant and superior in comfort. It was also under the radar at time.

I found I had too many similar sport Rolex. Once I tried on the 5711 and 5167 I knew I made the right decision.
Now keeping a balance of 2 Rolex and 2 PP. Perfect for me! |

Consolidation is not simply affordability, but there’s a practical aspect too. If someone buys a Patek, there’s a good chance that the lower end ones won’t get any more wrist time. So selling or trading just makes sense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I will rather have quality over quantity. Only have one wrist.

I am at a steady 8 now and often contemplate selling some. Still not at the point where I am ready to part with any and only one I really want to add. If that happens, I may sell a couple for the upgrade. Until then, I am good and most are worn. One may go, the Hulk, I never wear it.
