·Well, all bar my JLC Master Control and a 90s TAG SEL Chronometer that didn't attract adequate dealer interest. But everything else, mainly Rolexes, gone.
Why?
1. Because I had a watch box full of watches that used to mean something to me, but which I was not wearing and didn't mean to me what they once did.
2. Because I am bored with Rolex. They are everywhere.
3. Because I think we are at peak Rolex. One of the ones I sold today went for well over double what I paid for it. I cannot envisage it carrying on increasing forever.
4. It's just before Christmas and dealers want stock. I think they will do well this Christmas, but I have a hunch that Christmas 2022 may look more bleak.
I appreciate that my view won't be universally popular and watch me get proved spectacularly wrong on points 3 & 4.![Big Grin :D :D](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png)
The plan, and yes there is one, is to keep my JLC and buy a nice gold dress watch to alternate with it. For sport I will have an Apple watch.
But tonight I have a very empty looking watch box.
