I only ever sold one watch and that was my SQ B1. Do I regret selling it? No, because IMHO I replaced it with my perfect watch - the sunburst Airwolf which I love to bits .

Oh, before I get any snide wise cracks - yes, I use the slide rule and yes it shows UEL when the battery needs replacing (I can cope with that).

I've only sold two watches; my bentley motors and my LE MOP evo. I've since purchased another identical motors and do miss the evo. I think I'm just not going to sell any of them anymore.

I don't quite regret selling my Navi World because I truly believe every watch should be worn... and I just didn't wear it as often as I liked! So I sold it, even though it is still one of my favorite Breitlings! I miss it, but I know the person I sold it to is appreciating it more than I did.

I love that new Planet Ocean, such a beautiful and well balance watch face. Looks amazing in person. That's definitely on my short list of watches I want to pick up soon.

CometMan,

So beautiful, wish it was not the same size as a can of cat food.

Too big, for my tastes. I would say this is not bigger is better, it should be an XL!

But since you have a PO XL, size is not an issue here I suppose!

Regrets? No. Of all the watches I have sold, my Seamaster Pro 36mm midsize with 1120 movement and sword hands, and my midsize Railmaster are the ones I remember most fondly. However, they got little or no wrist time. The reason I sold them was to finance other watches, which I liked better.
I recently sold my Calibre de Cartier. When I bought it, I was absolutely thrilled. After a few months, for various reasons, the passion wore off, and it ended up in the box. I sold it to finance my Omega Speedmaster Professional. Last weekend, I met up with the person who bought it. It looks great on his wrist, and he loves it. And I am happier with my Speedy.
Now, I have a gorgeous new Omega Seamaster with ceramic dial, and a great 36mm Explorer I which was my daily watch for over 2 years. I haven't decided yet whether or not I will sell them. One thing I have discovered, though, is that I am not a watch collector. Quite subconsciously, over the past few years, I have been looking for the one watch I want to wear all the time. I really feel in my heart that a mechanical watch deserves to be worn and appreciated all the time, and not sitting in a box. It kind of bothers me that those two watches are now doing just that. But that's just me. For quite a while, I did have a collection of about 5 watches, but there was always one that seemed to be on my wrist constantly. Anyway, if I do sell the two watches I am not wearing, I doubt there will be any regret.
Cheers,
Carl

Absolutely gorgeous! I keep seeing that model when I visit the Omega Boutique, where I bought my Speedmaster. That movement is now available in a Speedy as well.
Your PO Chrono 9300 is definitely the nicest configuration of them all IMO: black dial, black bezel and steel bracelet.
Congrats and wear it in best of health!

Cheers,
Carl
