Somehow overthinking a topic that is supposed to be emotional is not what it should be like. Your comments tell me, I am not alone, likely it is more about decision style and whether you feel you should simplify once in a while or hoarding has merrits.

What to sell?
By: xxcesar : January 28th, 2022-20:52
Would like to collect some views on a topic that I am pretty sure we all face occasionally: what to sell? Let me describe my problem a bit. A watch you often wear, you keep. A watch you rarely wear because you do not like anymore, you sell. That part is s...
My criteria to sell:
By: roundel : January 28th, 2022-21:48
I obviously at some point liked every watch I own enough to buy it, but we evolve and move on, so my criteria is: will I miss the watch in question enough to re-buy it? I look back at almost all of my dearly departed with fond memories, but make no effort...
You’re not alone.

1) Always keep 2) Sometimes if that is the only way of making up the gap on something you want to buy it must be done. I’ve done it. 3) Similar to my comment above, if it’s the only way of making up the gap then it must be done. 4) Sell. It will always be...
I do not wear a watch and yet I have an extensive watch collection….
By: NickO : January 29th, 2022-00:24
I do not need a watch (I look at my phone to tell the time) and so I view each of my watches as a luxury item and not a necessity. And, for me, luxury is all about emotion. I must have an emotional connection to a piece, it must elicit a feeling within me...
I feel like selling among certain collectors
By: Cozmopak : January 29th, 2022-02:42
Is viewed as anathema, and should be avoided at all costs. Almost as if it’s an affront to the watchmaker who made the watch. I’ve sold watches after owning them for 24 hours. If I don’t bond with a watch immediately, it will leave my collection. I never ...
Why don’t you place each point in order of importance.
By: rip9er : January 29th, 2022-05:15
Then take the top 5 points and any watch that falls under any of the categories stay and the others you can sell. If all your watches qualify under the top 5 then lower the criteria to top 3 and see what’s left ha ha
The situation in my case . . .
By: Dr No : January 29th, 2022-05:24
. . . is similar to Hitchcock's Lifeboat . I've reached the point where I can no longer justify adding to my collection. At forty altogether, the sheer size has become unmanageable. I insist on wearing all of them, even if only for a few days a year. So f...

For me number 2 always got to go
By: Pelle_thorstenson : January 29th, 2022-07:04
no matter if it is a car, a painting or a watch. It is a sign that it don't speak to me anymore. The value of the piece has fallen so much that I have lost money. All these facts combined is a pebble in my shoe every time I look at the piece and therefore...
