If Im still regularly wearing a watch after 3 years it would probably be a keeper.

No - it wouldn't be a motivating factor for me unlesss I had grown tired of the piece.

Having said that I made money on all three of the Rolex's that I have bought & sold. If you buy the right Rolex models well and hold on to them long enough chances are very good you will at least break even on a sale. A trade is an entirely different story.

Just my opinion but based on experience

cop414 · 10 July 2013, 10:34 AM

Nope, nada, no way.

shirtguy · 10 July 2013, 12:19 PM

Seems like ill keep it and pass it done to one of my 3 sons. The other one will get my sub c date and now ill need to get a 3rd Rolex for the baby

Watchdog · 10 July 2013, 12:36 PM

No

porschedude · 10 July 2013, 12:49 PM

If your selling it for something that you would rather have then go for it but if it is sentimental then no.

Bangel · 10 July 2013, 02:13 PM

No thanks!

powerband · 10 July 2013, 02:28 PM

If I still like the watch, then not likely.

That's a good thought indeed, if you don't want it anymore, sell it and buy yourself something you'll enjoy much more.

However, I would insist on the fact that if you like the watch (which seems to be the case given that you have been wearing it everyday for the past three years) and still enjoy wearing it it wouldn't be a good idea.

Dr.Brian · 10 July 2013, 04:29 PM

I would sell it off if I didn't want it anymore, regardless of manufacturer or return.

Andad · 10 July 2013, 05:18 PM

Its a no from me.

Rashid.bk · 10 July 2013, 06:40 PM

Makes no sense. Not if I like it, and I like everything I buy. If I don't, it wont take me three years to decide, it's out the door in a month or two but maybe less.
My intention is to fall in love with my watch.

Not unless I needed money to buy food

GradyPhilpott · 10 July 2013, 07:03 PM

My watches are not for sale.

travisb · 10 July 2013, 08:25 PM

I wouldn't sell just for the sake of selling. If you don't like it anymore, then yes.
If you can get your money back after 3 years, you'll be able to get your money out of it after 4, 5, 6, 7 etc...

airchitect · 10 July 2013, 08:29 PM

Not a chance. If I sold it I better come out on top.

Majmvt · 10 July 2013, 09:29 PM

I can't see myself selling, but I am very grateful to those that do.....

ROLEX MAN · 10 July 2013, 09:52 PM

"NO" I want more!!!

Eulogy · 11 July 2013, 02:48 AM

I'd have to say no. Unless I no longer wanted it or wanted something new more.

It's kind of like real estate was a while ago. I could have sold my house for 3 times what I paid for it. But in order to get something I liked better I'd have to pay much more than even what I could have got for my present one.

In my case, I could sell my Sub that I paid $4,000 for new for about that amount or a little more. But to replace it, what would I have to pay? (~$8,000?).

The Sub C is nice, but not twice as nice.

I believe that, we have seen some of your watches. Crazy collection for sure!

Your right, I have a few I regret selling...
