Seller's remorse

[Oystersteel92]

Nearly impossible unless you go all private detective and trace it down, assuming you could get those involved to cooperate.

True story: When I was a kid, our next door neighbor had a '64 Ford Galaxie. It sat in his driveway and he would drive it occasionally. We moved when I was 9, and a year later it shows up in the driveway of our new neighbor. Turns out they were old friends and they had done a deal. Never got the full story, but both men were obsessed with this car. Over the next 15 years they proceeded to sell it back and forth to each other several times, and as they aged so did the condition of the car. Eventually the first neighbor died and owning the car at the time, the new neighbor bought it from the widow. The car proceeded to rot in his driveway and fall down on it's suspension, and when the new neighbor and his wife eventually died, the car got hauled off for scrap.

That's an extreme story, but don't be those guys.

I could never part with a watch that I had for that length of time. You not only miss the watch but more than that, I think - you miss the memories it used to bring back each time you looked at it...

That's what my watches do for me, remind me of adventures I have had while wearing it and lived to tell the tale!

You still have feelings for your ex!

I recall the TV chief Alton Brown had his dad’s Omega stolen and decades later found it on Ebay.
