Collection

This post explores the difficult decision to sell cherished timepieces to streamline a collection, emphasizing the desire for watches to be worn and enjoyed rather than kept in storage. Readers can relate to the bittersweet experience of letting go and the enduring appreciation for well-loved watches.
I have one myself with the most fabulous of needle sharp hands. Paid pennies, but its still a great watch. You will miss them one day i suppose, but you can always buy again. Best G
Both runs strong and within +-10sec despite not having been serviced since I got them 6 years ago. The new owner plans to service and clean them, am sure it would last another generation without problems. Like u said, if the pain of regret is too strong....we can always buy them back :)
. . . one of mine lately . . . . . . which used to grace Dad's wrist for many years.
That's really nice and even more so if it used to be your Dad's. Watches like these are heirlooms. I like how the Day and Date windows are split. Usually for Seiko, they are together. And the Day is spelled in full. I am still keeping 3 of my Seikos, which I have decided are keepers and I still wear them regularly. HAGW
