Need some support, I think I'm becoming a flipper

Around 7 months ago I got SubC Date and after 4 months sold it and got white face Daytona. Had Daytona just over 3 weeks and absolutely love the piece but something is not right again

I got a great deal on both pieces and only lost a few hundred on SubC (27% on SubC and almost 20% on Daytona).

Now for Daytona, I can trade for either BNIB SubC LV and $2000 cash back or just sell outright and get into AP 15400. Or just get back into SubC LN again.

Am I the only one with such problem?

Might keep my Daytona as well, I know I know, first world problems.

Thanks for listening

You are not the only one and your right - it's a first world problem.

Welcome to the club ... don't worry, it gets worse.

Kyu · 18 July 2014, 06:30 AM

I did a few flips, its common till u find that perfect watch

Sure on sites and pictures they're all stunning but once owning sometimes they are missing something
I think flipping is a common problem we all have

Sublover2166 · 18 July 2014, 06:31 AM

Do you flip your women as well??

sierra11b · 18 July 2014, 06:33 AM

You're not a flipper YET... you're just trying to find your groove and a lot of us have been there... have you read the threads of actual confessed flippers? The amount of flipping mentioned is EPIC!

Makes me feel much better, honestly. Thank you gentlemen.

I used to until I found my wife

Cinquecento · 18 July 2014, 06:39 AM

I used to be a flipper, truth be told eventually I just got tired of it, now I prefer to buy hold and buy more, I feel much more satisfied buying with the intent of keeping forever.

superdog · 18 July 2014, 06:47 AM

Presa canary · 18 July 2014, 06:50 AM

Def get the 15400....

macduffi · 18 July 2014, 07:05 AM

Stick with the SubC.

T01 · 18 July 2014, 07:16 AM

I'd go Subc.

jjnd08 · 18 July 2014, 07:20 AM

Welcome! You sound like a lot of us.

As someone who has flipped a descent amount, I'd skip the LVC. The green got old pretty quick for me.

Now if you are okay with flipping a lot, get the LVC. It's fun to try once, and the green sunburst is pretty cool during the summer. Just don't say I didn't warn you in 3 months!

CWIN · 18 July 2014, 07:27 AM

Oh believe me, it never ends and will only get worse.

thomaspp · 18 July 2014, 07:45 AM

Normal. I tell myself im done flipping though.

Racerdj · 18 July 2014, 08:30 AM

I have a similar problem and am constantly looking for the solution!

lamscott · 18 July 2014, 08:35 AM

My SubLV is literally 3 months old and now I want to flip it and cash for a SS daytona.

Steel28 · 18 July 2014, 08:41 AM

Thanks you all! Glad I'm not the only one.

Might save for another one and keep Daytona.

Decisions decisions...

14060m · 18 July 2014, 08:46 AM

Yes I understand
I had the probelm and feel its in remission right now
I have a subc date and a 2 tone white dial with jubilee band datejust.
And guess what I don't want anything else
( at least for now)

AK797 · 18 July 2014, 09:27 AM

You're OK at the SS level, once you start doing this with gold then you are really in a bit of trouble.

Rolexpharm · 18 July 2014, 10:13 AM

I have an addiction as well but I do keep them for a little longer. I do get itchy though whenever they come out with a new style or model

Hairdude1 · 18 July 2014, 10:55 AM

Sounds normal to me. I would look into getting the AP however once you start playing with AP and PP it is a whole new ball game

Steel28 · 18 July 2014, 12:22 PM

thanks again to all, wanted Daytona for such a long time and just can't picture selling it. Tried picuture myself with either Hulk or 15400 but not just yet.
