why did I sell?

I have had this all original untouched, unserviced 5512 and sold it some years back. The only watch that I should have kept.

do you have similar 'sellers remorse' examples?

Wow that's good looking! I don't have seller's remorse (yet), but I do have both "buyer's remorse" and "should've bought it remorse" at the moment.

wow look at those lugs. Look to be un polished. Great patina as well. Add a trusty 93150 and a new Tritium pearl and that watch would never leave my collection. Sorry that you sold it. Im sure you will find a new one some day. Goodluck

Not at all; I enjoy looking at it on her wrist more than wearing it (although I have it on today).

I regret buying the blue YM; could've gotten a GMT and 5513. D'oh!!

I love being a Rolex hoarder...have remorse over a few that I passed on over the years, however.
