Randon pics of Subs, SD, GMTs, and an Explorer

Well, I was going though some old files on a disc and came across some pics of watches from my past.

The two or three I regret selling the most are the GMT II, pepsi, the SD with lug holes, and the 5513. I sold the 5513 out of pure stupidity...it was a complete set with papers and mint. The other two, I sold because I thought I needed the money, when I really didn't...I was just overly cautious. Both the GMT 2 and the SD had sentimental value, so replacing them now just wouldn't be the same.

At this time, all I have left is the 42 EXP II. I love that watch, but I do miss the old case with lug holes a lot....anyone else feel that way?

I appreciate your post, as I continually consider selling some of my recently acquired watches to buy others. Many here on the forum keep telling me that selling a Sub, GMT and even a vintage Omega Speedmaster is a mistake, unless you absolutely need the money, which I do not.

Oddly enough, there is a local store that will give me their EXP II 39mm Polar for my T series 16710, with a little cash back in my pocket. I might go down to the store later and look at it again... Much to think about,,,

Great pics by the way...
