No right or wrong answer here ...
I think the answer to this depends on the stage of ones collecting and what feels right at that time.

That's right at least for now. I never considered selling my entire collection, instead just a few pieces. I admit it's a difficult exercise thinking about this decision. Appreciate all the PM's and support.
Dude - I can't take it......
Just sell them already - Its enough. How many resonances and calendriers can someone have. I mean to have to wind 10 resonances might make me stab myself with a pallet fork . I have bought and sold my collection many times over. Once they are gone - they ...
