No Regrets?

This is one of mine, lost an auction by $20 and still could have had it in like new condition for under $500 with no tax about a year ago. My others would be not getting more of the Sunday Run and like giveaways. Got any regrets of your own... like selling one you wish you hadn't?
BTW Happy Holidays To All.

My only watch regret is being too obsessed with the "watch size must match wrist size" rule that the watch community has. I passed up on some great watches that are now collectible and way out of my price range because I followed that stupid rule when I was younger.

Plenty of my Android and Invicta watches. They seldom if ever get worn. I could have smoked and pissed the money away, so I still have them as a reminder into the mouth of madness.

yeah collectible cases of yore were misplaced in the depths of the fitty crisis... now I get a hoot from the size which lasted from 1940-1980

in the belly of the beast

My regrets are letting some great watches of the past that were in the 40mm to 45mm size range pass by while I got hooked on 50mm Invicta's and Androids and such for a number of years. Passed on some crazy auto chrono deals back then because at the time I thought I'd love 50mm plus watches forever. Now I'm back to a more modest size watch and blew so many great opportunities and have tons of what are becoming glorified paper weights in my collection. Even being a bigger guy I reach for the big watches less and less.

I regret not being rich so I wouldn't have to abide by a watch budget!

i regret nothing

That's a bold statement, SB. Lol

haha...i got it from EVA PERRONE on broadway...means...i regret nothing wouldn't do it different... i have enjoyed the journey...to be continued

Well there you go, Mr. B!

Regret a few impulse buys from back in my WG days. Purchased way to many 50mm watches...what was I thinking. Seriously though, I regret not keeping my Zixen collection. At one point I had 7 and like an idiot I sold them all. I guess that is part of the journey.

This one:

ok...well after belting out a show tune ( i regret nothing ) i regret selling my ZIXEN...and all the other tools I fingered but parted with... it's like a dream to see the hundreds float around ... a lot of them I liked and could love again...it's been an interesting journey...and even though with hind sight and fore sight maybe some decisions would be different...it's the journey...and the ride is like a magic carpet with room only for me

Because I'm not a big guy, I let my larger watches go years ago. Today, I'm getting ready to start selling 42mm watches, a size I thought I would stay at, but I am currently at 40mm, so the 42mm will be sold. I'm sure I will be regretting that move.

Regrets? Not really. There are a couple I've sold where I'd like to still have them but I sold them mostly cause they were too heavy for me to wear. So (for example) while I would still like to have Bolt Zeus, I can't wear it for too long anyway.

I had a chance to purchase a brand new, full warranty Breitling transcocean unitimer for under $4k once (it retails for over 11k) a watch I had always held as a grail, but just didn't have the moola to do it at the time.

I guess there are a few I wish I still had but they were sold chasing other things I liked better. I'm glad I sold them to get something I liked better but some sure were nice but had to go for funding

Okay, after reading all of these regrets that reminded me of mine, I'm regretting reading all these posts.

I regret drinking the Invicta Kool Aid... live and learn I guess. (although I still wear some) There were some great watches I should have picked up instead. It still brings a tear to my eye...

All regrets count, Woody. LOL
