You did what you had to do. Lets hope in due time one will be back on your wrist.

Sorry to hear.
You did what you had to do mate.
Once you get back on your feet you'll hopefully be able to get another Sub.

Good luck.

It's just a material object. No worries at all brother.

Keep food on the table and the outlook strong. Everything is based on perspective. Everything.

Sorry to hear, tough times call for tough decisions and you made the right one. That's also why a Rolex is not a waste of money. It was a smart decision to buy and sell. Keep a positive outlook and your fortune will appear sooner then you hope. Best of luck!

Sad but a fact of life and thanks for sharing your difficulties. Bad times too shall pass. Have faith. I am looking forward to see you get back not one but two Rolexes when things turn rosy for you. Good luck!

Sorry to hear that man! I live by the philosophy that when just as things seem there lowest, you are already unknowingly beginning to ascend upwards. Hang in there! and your next rolex purchase, when the time comes, will be that much more rewarding and sweet!

Sorry to hear! But you've done the right thing, luxury items should be the first to go, and at least with a Rolex, you would of gotten a decent amount of money back on it. When times get better, go ahead and treat yourself again, great prices will always be found on TRF!

You sold a watch, but what you didn't sell is your fighting spirit. I am sure you could gather positives from this and become a stronger person from it!

Subs are everywhere I am sure you will get another one soon.

My beautiful Ducati has gone (sob). The wife might be next! (just kidding!). Feeling pretty bad just now. I'm trying to look on the bright side, but it isn't easy. Good thing I'm not the morbid type!

You made the right call. Times are tough and you can get another one when things are better. And think how good that will feel. Chin up.

A man have to do what a man have to do. You are a fighter now. Stand strong, keep your head high. Trust me, I know about this situation 'cos I live in Greece, I have a family with 2 kids and my wife is unemployed. (My salary is low like most people here). All we have to think is to keep food on the table and keep on believing that things will get easier for us. As long as we have our health, thank God, we will make it again.
No crown for our accomplishments yet but that day WILL come and it will have a strong meaning!
