I never got the logic there. An example? JLC Geophysic line. It should have been there to stay, to welcome new models, new complications. Same for the True Second movement. Why just dedicating it to two discontinued watches???
please share what watches you have that:
1) were purchased new, 2) were regular production models, not limited editions, when you bought them, 3) are still owned, 4) and most importantly, are no longer in production or sold by the manufactuer? 5) please do not include Rolex, as I find the Rolex ...
Panerai 177K from 2008. A frequent companion. I can’t effectively convey the wearing experience. Those who know, they know. 😍

IWC Portofino 34mm, PAM 170 OOR, Speedy Pro Tintin, Breitling Airwolf, Eberhard Contrograf, Ming 17.09, Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue.
Probably be moving some to the market in the new year as I am consolidating. Prefer now to look at vintage plexi watches.

Hi A couple of mine Oris pointer date - my first 'expensive' watch Still have box n papers & it's going nowhere Reverso Duo Hi I know they still make it, but it's V3 rather than this one. Still on its original strap. Cheers JML ...

RGM 151p …
Bought used on TZ in 2008 from some dentist in Oklahoma. ETA 2892-A2 movement. 39mm. Watches costing >10x more have come and gone since then. It would be absolutely perfect if only it had a screw-down crown. Roland, are you listening? ...
Here is a few. All quite old
I bought all of them brand new, some close to 40 years ago. IWC Ocean 2000. Civilian model. I think it is over 40 years right now. The luminous material is crumbling, but the movement is being serviced regularly and I wear it quite often. Minerva Palladio...
