Pieces you will never part with from your collection

The last one to go would be my 16710 - 3186. In my opinion, the versatility of this timepiece is unparalleled.



I also LOVE my 126710BLRO.

looks like the market for the 16710 is going to be difficult for new buyers given how many seem to be keepers

I agree with you all my 16710 is my keeper for sure

214270 for me.

I don't think you can truly say 'never say never' but as my tastes have changed over the last 24 years of Rolex ownership, I firmly believe that you find a place when you truly know that something suits you.

39mm is a sweet-spot for me based on my wrist size and because of this I recently sold my 114060. I felt like I was kidding myself that the maxi-case was right when it wasn't (at least in my eyes). I was always aware of the heft in comparison to the 214270 so the 110460 was moved on. It simply wasn't getting any wrist time.

When I picked up the 114060 I swore I'd never sell it because I made the fatal error of selling my first Rolex (T-serial 14060). The 114060 was supposed to be in some way a form of redemption for that massive regret that I still have to this day.

So as I said initially - never say never - the 114060 was supposed to be a cast-iron keeper but things can sometimes change on a flip of coin, or in this case, a very personal feeling about a watch.......

They can all go or they can all stay. I am not attached to the watches only the value they represent. No emotions, just fun.

Awesome!

I keep trying to decide what watch to get for my daughter when we adopt. I go back and forth between the Cartier Santos blue and DJ41 fluted with jubilee.

Great looking set

Would never part with my first nice watch, a Longines L4.718.4.21.2, which I bought during law school before starting an internship for a judge. My heart sank when, in the first week of the internship, the judge complimented my fellow intern's Fossil watch

16750 GMT Master. Purchased in Riyadh in 1982. Been all around the world with me and still wear it more than others as an everyday watch. Been serviced several time by Rolex and still looks in great condition.

I've already sold watches that I thought were forever pieces. So I guess never say never.
That said, my PAM005 I was from my wife for our wedding. So unless I lose the wife, the watch is mine forever!

Hulk will remain until Daytona happens. In Non-Rolex category, Seiko SBGC007 will be the last to go, if it comes to that.

I love them all and parting would be utterly heartbreaking.
This one would be the last to go: 1665, Rail Dial, purchased by me from the original owner in 1995, serviced by RSC NY in 2003. Safe queen.
