Lately I find that certain watches in my collection dont get enough love.

I have quite a few nice pieces that although are worthwhile collector pieces, just dont do it for me anymore (other than for the sake of owning these fine time peices)

I have a Maurice La croix moonphase, GP Chrono, gold VC vintage with tear drop lugs, and a couple of others in my collection that I have thought about selling lately just to purchase some pieces that might get a little more love.

ever get that feeling?

Yes, but then I think about parting with any of my collection and quickly get over the feeling. I just couldn't do it. If I wear a watch once a year, that's enough to make me want to hold on to it.

I am of the mind that you should get and do what makes you truely happy in your hobbies. As long as it does not strap you, do what makes you love your hobby, that is why they call it a passion for something.

I have done a bunch of changing out, I am happy with what I currently have, but if I start to not be anymore, I will look to make a change. You never know and life is too darn short.

Yes I sometimes swap or trade for something else,but have a few that I would never sell.

I try to just buy what I want, so for a long time I never sold any watches. Recently, I finally decided to sell a couple of watches that I never wear so I could get others, or use the money for something else.

I sold a YG Day-Date (should have gotten it in WG), and I sold a TT Blue Sub that just a little too flashy for me. I have a couple of others I might sell. Still thinking about it.

Mate...I'd keep the blue sub..its a classic IMO. Just interchange with ur other SS cousins. I appreciate it everytime I wear it. As matter of fact I fancy all my subs very muchly...
