My take....
.....I love wearing my watches. If i find that a specific watch is just never getting worn, it poses a question in my head. If, after noticing that i am not wearing a watch, I continue to not wear it, then this is a big signal to me. It will not be an immediate sell signal.....sometimes a watch comes back into fashion for me....so i always give a watch a year or more grace in order to see if my affection for it revives. If after that time I find I am still not wearing the watch, then definitely i will look to sell it. What is the point in owning a watch that just sits in a safe? None at all!
I know that some people just never sell their watches. I am not in that category. I would say that, typically, i sell 3-4 watches each year and probably purchase 5-6. Ideally, I would like to halve both sides of that equation!!
To Stay or to Go - A hypothetical reasoning attempt
The One to Stay or to Go ?.. A hypothetical reasoning attempt.. First I was considering to contributing this to the WS of this week but with empty hands (?) Then I decided, because of the length of my "rambling" - forgiveness pls to post it separately; al...
You can look at it this way
A breakup. Like with an old girlfriend. If you can live without it then you should be able to let it go as you will not be hurt emotionally. The monetary side is just math Plus or Minus. You don't need to make 100 calculations. I think it is almost a heal...
These are golden words, Bill.. Thx for shared wisdom.. Also have a Happy 2014 !
Your point is really appreciated and very well taken. :) I do appreciate your advice, and the avoidance of selling short, to fund something new and/ or incoming.. It is also interesting how people "collect", which IMHO, would also include "select" for me,...

I can really relate to that.. Thx for confirming sharingly your appreciated view..
.. Nevertheless, at least at this point in time, I'm not yet really at that crossroad, ( also maybe due to my rather limited collection - although I'm happy with it ). I fully understand your reasoning - so for you, if you are not wearing a watch, it rais...
To go, I give you a good price for the pair!
Just kidding, I feel your passion for the watches. Sadly more and more the timepieces are turned into financial investments. Thanks for your post and a Happy New 2014 to all purists out there!
Sometimes they come back to a new life.. But.. ;)
.. sooo right you are, that (after the heart has spoken), the brain is just following. Dr Mamadu knows his patients, usually quite well, on occasions better than they themselves.. Hence if, and only IF, the signals are all on "GO" - there luckily are more...
