My experience
I too have similar thoughts as you did. As the collection becomes larger, wrist time diminishes for more of my watches. Thought of selling a few pieces which could fetch a decent sum & trim the collection a bit. But on second thought, I've no real need for the money from selling them. Over time looking at my collection, I see how my collection matures over the eight year & recollects why I bought each piece. I find it meaningful.
Just to share my personal experience.
Looking for thoughts, feedback, advice.....
I own a 2006 Rolex GMT Red and Black Bezel and have always loved this piece. It's a bit unique and a little rare as most folks seem to favor the Pepsi bezel; that is one of the things that initially attracted me to the watch not to mention that Rolex stop...
I'm not a fortune teller, but I can already tell you that the first ...
To be appreciated will be the Vintage 1675 and the Transitional 16 750, and the Fat Lady, 16760 which is a much rarer ref than the 16 700 / 16 710. BUT the true question is to know if you are getting rid of it. If yes, let it go. Give it a second thought ...
Thank you for the feedback....
much appreciated Nicolas. Think I'll hold on...wore it yesterday and today. You kind of forget how much you like a piece. Good leasson not to make any quick decisions in regards to trading in a piece.
I would.....
base my decision on how much you like it, how often you wear it and you perspective alternative.... No one can tell what value it will have in the future... You should also bear in mind that many of these were made and you could easily find another one in...
I don't own that crystal ball which gives all the
right answers, but it sounds as though you have other pieces you routinely wear and maybe you have passed this for others because you may be tired or somewhat bored with it. My experience with things like this is when I roll out of something, later on I f...

Best gauge to feel the love is when you finally lose it...
While it has been discontinued, I still see a couple locally for sale albeit pre-owned. So it can still be reacquired in some form as it is not as popular as a Pepsi. If it's your first time to come across this situation, it might be a good idea to test t...
Forget about future demand.
Enjoy it now. If not,pass it on,someone else will. I personally think it's a keeper. cheers F...
GMT...
The watch you talk about was the same type exactly as my very first Rolex. I actually sold that watch to a friend of mine and have been nagging him for the last two years to sell it back to me. I have no idea how much the watch is worth now. What i do kno...
Thank you all for your responses....very helpful
I was at my AD yesterday comparing the GMT to the PAM 0000 that I have always admired and despit a very generous trade in offer for the GMT, almost parting ways with it made me realize how much I still enjoy the watch. Sometimes you need to take the thoug...
