I've done this a few times, flipped for the same piece. It happens, sometimes just so you know for sure if you love it or not. I won't get started on my list, but trust me, it's up there. 😳

Yep...16613 and 16014. Had both twice. Lol I have neither now. Miss the bluesy. It was the only touch of gold I had left in my collection.

Sell me once, shame on me. Sell me twice, shame on you! Or something like that

I can't believe this will be your fourth purchase of it. Don't sell this one!

I have purchased and sold, then repurchased the same model a few times-

Nothing wrong with that - this is why it's a hobby.

Congradulations!! Yes, I have done this far too much and I am embarrassed to list how many times.

No, I never have. I sold a 216570 that sometimes I'm really tempted to buy again, but I just remind myself that I sold it for a reason (too large for me).

I think it's the "grass is greener" phenom, but in the end sometimes it is greener, but many times it is not. I think we also buy what we really like first, then places like TRF, sway us thinking what might really like, or should have is this or that. But in the end we end up with models that spoke to us in the beginning.

in early 2000s, I bought an Explorer 1 114270 from Tourneau. I forgot why but I sold it on ebay a year or so later. Then I missed it so much and bought another one from non-ad at a similar price I sold the Tourneau one.

So in the end, it cost me the same to own the 114270. But since my current one is from non-ad, I don't have papers on it.

It is like when they say you don't know something/ someone meant to you until you lost it/her/him. Every now and then, something would remind me of one of my ex-girlfriends . I wonder what she is up to and what my life would be like if I did marry her back then. But then it is all water under the bridge and I move on.

Pardon me for the over exposure of my personal life

I bought a Patek 5167 and sold it after a few months because i thought it wasnt for me. Then regret set in! Ended up buying it back several months later and very happy i did!

It's here and she's gorgeous! Thanks Alexthegreat123 for getting me a beautiful 2004 with full box and papers. Mint baby!! My wife looked at it and said "Yeap same and the other 3 you had"

I wish there was a way to capture the shine and look of the WG Romans.

I saw my white Milgauss for sale on the forum....I know it's mine because I could see my name on the warranty card! I'm considering re-purchasing it.

Yes. I foolishly flipped my 1016 ten years ago and only a few months ago was able to track down one as nice. Never again.

Have you ever bought the same watch over again? And INCOMING

Yes, guilty as well! Not Rolexes, but have purchased a few Omegas more than once.
