Sell What You Like To Buy What You Love!
I know a lot of Rolex purists may cringe when they hear this story. 12 years ago I bought a new Z series Coke GMT 16710. I loved the watch but over the years my love turned to like and I found I just wasn't wearing it as much.
I'm not a Rolex collector and although it was my first, it held no real sentimental value and the old school stamped clasp and hollow bracelet I felt just hadn't kept up with the times. I know, I know, that's what a lot of folks love about those 5 digits, but not me. So last week I decided to sell it given what the market is like right now. I got a really fair price from one of our Trusted Sellers here and received 2 1/2 times what I bought it for!!! That was practically enough to finally finance a watch I've been jonesing for for years that I actually found at an AD. Welcome my new Bluesy 116613! To me, it was a really great move and I'm in love with my new sub! SELL WHAT YOU LIKE TO BUY WHAT YOU LOVE! Hope you like it! Cheers!

congrats
a lot of people are too worried about resale value instead of getting what they really like which is what this hobby should be about |

Sound advice and kudos - too often we get caught up with what we should be wearing, v. what we truly want to wear

Congrat's on your Blusey! That is an awesome ROLEX.

I don't see Rolex as an investment as much as a lifestyle! Cheers!

Grats on a beautiful watch, and thanks for the good advice. I'm having a similar struggle over my Tudor Big Block and you've helped me out.
