Breitling Avenger Seawolf, I love that watch. I've owned mine since 2013, white dial, have plenty of memories attached to it. That watch saw my 2 kids being born. Took 44h of labour with the first born in 2013 and 8 hours with the second one three years later. The Breitling started my collection and my interest in watches. Before that, I was a one watch guy since 2005, wore my Omega PO 2500C 45.5 daily for 7 years straight. I also had a Seiko Kinetic but quit wearing it when the PO came in. So the Seawolf was my second serious watch. It's built like a tank. It's huge and thick, but then it's an extreme diver with 3,000 WR, so to me it can get away with it. I love the presence on the wrist. Very clean creamy dial with batons. Super cool piece to me. It's like a little submarine on the wrist. I don't regret selling what I sold, I had a good reason to let them go. I sometimes miss one of them, an Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chrono 44, white dial. That was a beautiful watch, super accurate like +1s a week, but I couldn't stand the absence of a date quickset, it was a PITA setting the date as I rotate my watches. Also, legibility at a glance wasn't great. A friend asked me the time once and I gave her a completely wrong reading, never happened to me before with any other watch. So I quit wearing it for those reasons. I have thought of buying one back, maybe in black, but that won't fix the problems, so that's a no. Another piece I let go with a bit of seller's remorse was the Breitling Superocean Heritage 46, blue dial. That thing was huge on my 18cm/7in wrist, right at the limit, no lugs overhang though. Took me 4 years to realise it looked ridiculously large. I sold it but thought of buying it back in 42mm. Problem is I got tired of the looks too, so decided against it. We do what we have to do, we let some pieces go for a reason. They go to happy new owners, no hard feelings.

Love your story specially where you sold the Rolex submariner then bought it back same with me sold my classic Mercedes missed it so much try to buy it back again but it never happened

I was looking 👁️ to the watch you are wearing, thinking 🤔 that I am expert, I concluded that it is a no date Sub. I was shocked 😳 once you revealed it’s an SD 4K. I think 🤔 the minute hand covered the date window. It looks amazing 🤩, yet I am not yet convinced to buy it as I like and own the anniversary SD43 and have no problem neither with its big size nor the cyclope ! I would love to add a vintage two lines lollypop dial no Date Sub later.

Moral of this sad story is never break the cardinal rule of selling Steel Sports Rolex Stunners it will always end in tears 😢💔😪

Strangely Watchfinder Andrew has just posted regretting selling the same model 14060M.

I regret selling my 36mm Daydate platinum ref 118206

I regret selling 5. JLC Master Control Date Sector Dial 4. Rolex Explorer ll 3. H Moser Streamliner, Centre seconds 2. Panerai Submersible 959 1. H Moser Endeavor rose gold, small seconds

I have a datejust 1601 and I am so tempted to sell it to upgrade to a steel sports. But you are really making me second guess my decision to sell ANY rolex, even one that was supposed to be tradeable.

I think the Daytonas ( specially the Black on Blacks ) are really intriguing and I would regret selling it not only from the investment point of view. Might pull the trigger on one in the next weeks.

yeah I traded my first Rolex DateJust 16220 Tapestry Dial with Engine Turned Bezel. Loved it wore it everywhere. Traded it for Rolex DateJust 36 white roman dial with fluted bezel on super jubilee hidden clasp.

Great Video..... I've rebought most of my selling regrets.....I follow the rule of....if I've sold it 2wice....I won't rebuy a 3rd time......I also subscribe to the philosophy of never selling ur first Rolex....my first Rolex was a pre-owned polar Explorer 2.... heavily polished, no box, no papers..... it's staying in the collection.

Great video Michael. The important thing is you kept the two best models Rolex have ever made IMO…the 16600 and 116600.

loved the honesty shown when described why you sold each piece.. I think the same of Daytonas.. I would buy one if given the chance from an AD at retail. But chronographs never have done much for me, and I think at 40 mm, the Daytona is too small and just not the prettiest watch but I know the latter is subjective.

Because of your videos recently I bought a SD4K and while I was searching for this watch I found a 'New Kermit" at a great price so I bought it too. I hope I never sale them. You regret selling two vintage. That is interesting because you have mentioned you don't like the small round index. You like more the new bigger dots. Lol! My biggest regret was selling a newer GMT two tone rootbeer and a DJ 41 Wimbledon on fluted and jubilee. They both beautiful watches. Love the story, thank you for sharing.

Did you ever get your hands on a Glashütte Original Senator Chronograph Panorama Date white dial or the SeaQ Panorama Date Bicolore? Man I love these things so much more then my Rolex...

Great video 👍🏼 Next Video: Top 5 watches you currently own 😎 Take care ✌🏼

Never sell your Rolex if you can avoid it especially the steel

I never sold any of my rolex and will never: when you sell 1, never be sure been able to buy it again. 😉

My 116600 SD is the only watch I ever regret selling! And if I ever do get another one it’ll be just like your Hulk situation, it just won’t be the same!

I have the 14060M and was thinking of selling it. May hold onto it now :-) I also have the rubber strap! Great at content! Thank you!

My first and only Rolex is 1974 1603. Lately I've been thinking about selling it to get a 214270 but I feel like I'll regret it...

I had put a watch 4 times online for sale and took if offline again after I got a offer from a buyer because I was afraid missing the it. I couldn't let go. :-) I can totally relate to the " it's not the same watch" thought inside your head regarding rebuying the Hulk. watching your last Video talking about buying pre owned watches and being against it in the beginning I was thinking ... Mate, doesn't it bother you that this watch brings memories with it from the last owner ? :-) Watch people surely believe that watches have souls. lol

I see you're back with the Rolex and not Omega SMP 300 Diver. I went through the same phase with trying Omega and eventually overtime, going back to Rolex. :)

I only regret selling my first Rolex Sub NoDate. But I also try not to have more than 2-3 watches. As soon my AD is calling, I think about who has to go… as I am also not a billionaire :-)

I’ve had so many and regret selling a fair few, my first Rolex that I bought back in 2005 probably the one I regret selling the most, it was a brand new bluesy, pre ceramic RRP £3690 back then 😳 not the coolest watch but it was my first Rolex and for that reason the one I regret the most, probably followed by a Hulk in 2017 , made a bit more than Michael on it but still regret it.

If you had to sell all of your watches (including milestone Rolex watches) for the opportunity to buy the 5711 at retail, would you do it?

great video ! my first rolex was a explorer 39mm which has never been worn and my second was a 41mm submariner which I use regularly . I was thinking of letting the explorer go. . I am wondering if I will regret selling my FIRST rolex which I never even worn :)

hi michael talk about your panerai you still keep and the next panerai yuo chose 233 cheers

Did you keep the 16600?

Is SD4K bracelet as wide as the latest SD43 ?!

The new Pepsi should be called the Boysenberry because everyone knows that it ain't really red and blue. :)

I just have an offer for my first ever Rolex wich is a ‘18 Hulk. I prefer to have the money at the moment and im looking forward if i will miss or not…😅

I wonder if you still regret these 5 now in September 2023.

I think the new green bezel sub is still being called Kermit. I thought people were calling the new left hand drive gmt the "Starbucks"? Please correct me if I'm wrong

Your so handsome ever thought of doing movies. Great beard so dark

I also regret selling 🤔

Please don’t go down the cliché RU-vid click bait Thumbnails, youre better than that

the original Daytonas are really beautiful aesthetically. contemporary ones are definitely striking but they just seem a bit messy to look at. maybe its just me, no offence intended to Daytona disciples!
