Which watch(es) do you regret selling, and why? For me, it was this 1958 Genève. I sold it because it was a gold plated reference and I wanted one in stainless steel. The watch had a nearly perfect original dial and I haven’t been able to find a comparable one since. The watch went to a good home, but I miss it!

Not sold but traded.
I miss my second 145.022-69 Straight Writing with 1039/516 and papers. I have regrets as it came from the original (and very kind) owner who "passed" this watch to me as a kind of an inheritance (if we can say so). It was not perfect but had lots of history.

Curious as to why you traded such an honest piece? What did you get instead?

Although it took awhile to admit to myself, this one:

Just view all my FS listings. Here are a few that are a little sad to see again. All sold for various reasons, but largely because I didn't wear them and was interested in trying something different.
