I’m at the point in my collecting life that if it’s not being worn, I’m really thinking about moving it along. In the last year as I have mentioned in the past, I moved along a Lauren Ferrier, FPJ and Grönefeld.
Possible dilemma coming up.....
I'm at some crossroads. The Automatique Reserve was *my first one*. However, after really falling for the brand, it was followed by RDM, CB, UTC and finally the Resonance. The resources are not unlimeted, of course, and because of those later purchase, I'...
If it is not getting wrist time
Let it go. In unlimited resources I say keep everything. But when that is not the case, no reason to keep just because. Another consideration, and I don’t follow fpj(although I really want. CB), is I think this one could be required easily of your tastes ...
I think I personally wouldn’t let it go. Here’s why:
1) It started your Journe journey, 2) it’s one of the best looking of the bunch, imo (personal taste of course, but my favorite from an aesthetic standpoint are RDM and AR), 3) your Journe watches don’t only have an individual value, they also have a coll...
Difficult but having made similar choices in the past I would say keep it
Unless you absolutely need the money I would keep it. I did let many of my watches go in the past which did lead to some regrets. What doesn't get a lot of wrist time today, can still get some wrist time tomorrow. You have a fantastic collection and I thi...
I think some very good advice has already been given …
If it is any help here are some of my own thoughts… I have set up some guidelines for my self based on my own collecting experiences looking back. I have tried to write a summery for you below. If you find anything in them that you think useful please fee...
Great summary Christian.
I read every reply and yours was the one that resonated the most for me. Very logical and clear way of thinking. Anyhow, just wanted to thank you for the post, took note for my future collecting adventures. Hagwe
Wow, thank you so much for your very kind words, Derrick!
If this is of any use to you, then that makes me extremely happy. Enjoy your weekend my friend 🤗
I recently let
some particularly valuable watches go. I lived on an Island where motorcycles/mopeds over 150cc’s were not legal. A friend of mine (and a policeman himself). Bought a Triumph (1200 cc’s) which was obviously never going to see the road. He would take it ou...
Personally, If not worn alot
I would let it go. I see some redundancy with the RDM, and the RDM winning for me. They would both be worn in similar situations for me. I think the RDM is more "Journe"
I had this very same problem
Just remember this and someone else told me this: if you let it go and want to get it back, is it possible? Some pieces will be unattainable for different reasons
Thank you kindly everyone...
.....for your time and sharing your thoughts...EVERYONE! Some great points were being shared and a few *really hit home* as they touched upon my very situation pretty much spot-on. Thank you very much again.
