I love mine. I tried the previous version on many times, and I could just never come to love all the blue. IMO, this is really a watch you purchase for yourself knowing how special it is and don't care if anyone ever recognizes it for what it is.
You should be able to source one from an AD pretty readily and probably score a discount to boot

If you're not wearing it and enjoying it anymore, follow what the heart wants.
The 122619 is gorgeous.

that's all we have here. Of course you want to make sure you get fair pricing/values in both directions, but assuming that's all worked out you need to go with your gut.

I occasionally wear my Dad's 1655 and it's one watch I will NEVER sell. But I'm honestly attached to it for sentimental reasons. It doesn't get nearly enough wrist time to justify keeping it, but again my motivation is different.

All that said, the blue and black combo do nothing for me. I'd much prefer the the all blue 116619.

If you haven't lost love for the 1655 I'd try to keep it somehow and add what you want.

Unnecessary.
