I was just going through my photobucket account and realized that I have owned a good number of watches in the past! Just a one watch guy now! These are all gone. Feel free to show the ones you loved and left..

dddrees · 1 April 2012, 01:14 AM

Wow, you had a number of great watches.

If these are the ones you flipped.

I'd love to see which ones you have now.

brettpaul · 1 April 2012, 01:14 AM

Looks like the 14060 is a recurring theme....think you should get one and keep it if you haven't already! :)

77T · 1 April 2012, 01:15 AM

That's a good road to have traveled. Mine are in my sigline - cleared the Flickr account of the oldies.

I like DD that you ended up with.

It's certainly a sickness we have!....and a damn good one at that!!

nyyankees · 1 April 2012, 01:31 AM

It was always nice to have a dressier watch to switch off with the Sub. Maybe in my future!

Serious collector thread for sure....I have trouble ever selling anything

Your a lucky man

Andrés G · 1 April 2012, 02:49 AM

I did something similar a couple of weeks ago. I've flipped all of this:

Tha current plan is to own 4 that really make me smile, plus a beater. 3 have already been selected. I'm looking for the fourth.

apan · 1 April 2012, 02:58 AM

I'm just starting my flipping journey..

Hope to acquire the one "keeper" in my possession soon

m6894 · 1 April 2012, 03:02 AM

We are enablers for sure, it's a good hobby and takes up less space than a car collection

Seems loke normal behavior to me ;-)

2th Dr · 1 April 2012, 09:52 AM

OMG, how did you decide which ones to get rid of to narrow it down to just one?!? Man, you had some beauties!

nick c · 1 April 2012, 11:27 AM

I narrow down to this

threemonkeys · 1 April 2012, 11:40 AM

You, sir, need some serious help with your addiction. I'm not sure where to send you for help, though. So why not hang out with us and check out the for sale section.

What's the worst that can happen?

every time i buy a watch my wife want to kill me

Tudor66 · 1 April 2012, 12:52 PM

I've sold quite a few watches in the last 12 months. Each watch created a nice, albeit small profit. No regrets, as each watch helped me to trade up to watches that I had always wanted- Two Rolexes, and one Tudor Sub.

-Omega Speedmaster 3510 (reduced size).
Nice watch, but doesn't have the shine and potential resell of a Rolex.
-Hamilton internal bezel supercompressor.
Near mint, internal bezel is a fun toy, but the watch is too small,
-Wittnauer internal bezel supercompressor.
see above
-Bullova and Fero
Lower cost manual wind Fero, and the bullova had too much mold on the dial.
-TaraSport watches
very old/small/loud and very manual wind- goodbye old watches, no regrets...

FeelingTheBlues · 1 April 2012, 02:44 PM

You guys have amazing pieces, sorry to know you had to part with those beautiful TT DJ's.

Deldog · 1 April 2012, 11:53 PM

Loved and lost

FremStar · 2 April 2012, 12:18 AM

ALL of you guys have some serious ISSUES and I love it!!!

Thanks for sharing with us! Where is Mortgageguy?
