Had to sell some watches

Still have 5980/1A-5070R-5270G. Thoughts on this trio?

I love the design of the 5070 and the 5270. The 5980 doesn't really speak to me, but I can see it fitting with the other pieces.

I have burned through so many pateks it’s disgraceful. I finally decide to seek my collection except for these three watches. I figured they covered they checked all the boxes.

I’m also an FPJ fan. Sold all but three watches.

Agree think you've covered a lot of ground with your trio.

If you know people that are into fine watches, and they have been buying them for a while, you know that you can become a real nut job when it comes to watches.

I have owned and traded so many watches in the last 5 years it’s ridiculous. I have some other watch friends that like me, are mentally ill when it comes to watches. Fortunately I only buy preowned and have learned what to buy and only lose a little money and learned what not to buy and lost a lot of money.

I’m down to only buying Patek, FPJ, and Rolex. I buy 75% of my watches from Govberg, and the others from EWC and DavidSW.

The only three brands which have any meaningful resale value. Horrible time to be a seller of most watches.
