Should I sell my Breitling?

I currently have 3 ROLEXes and 1 Breitling and I am thinking in a soon future I will be buying more ROLEXes. Should I sell the Breitling or am I crazy

I love my colt auto and i think the fit and finish is great for being their lower line. Plus having a change of brands is nice. Why limit your collection to one brand, keep the Breitling if you still enjoy it or turn it for something you will wear more... only you will know!!

Nice to have a variety to choose from. You can rotate between the brands. Just make sure you don't get rid of a watch that you may miss down the road...

To the OP, looked at some of your pictures posted on this thread and some of your other threads and they look like they are pictures used in advertising???

Resale $ isn't that great. I'd vote to keep, based on what you're likely to get for it. I know because I made that mistake several times. For what I got for my Breitlings I'd have been better off keeping them. JMHO.

Same here, even if you wear twice a month it is worth keeping. The resale is terrible right now and may remain that way. I sold mine for nothing. I kept one for sentimental value and I do find myself enjoying it from time to time.

That's why Rolex with their relatively small line, and consistent price increases are the best buy. I mostly like the style of classic Zenith, UN, Vacheron and now Tudor, but for investment NOTHING is a Rolex (ok maybe Patek).

You want to sell it then do it appropriately. I've moved your fs thread which was posted in the Breitling forum also. Read our rules.
