  • CRAZY IDEA! Sell all non-Rolex and buy Rolexes?

    Hello,
    I am having some crazy thoughts...
    I have a small/humble collection of mutil-brands. I say humble as when you look at the Mondani and Mike Wood collections, my collection is not even a collection! My collection is worth the price of a good European car... but it is humble in this environment.

    Anyhow, I am think of doing something that is not so reversible....
    SELLING all non-Rolex pieces. Putting that money towards Rolex pieces.
    I am a "Value" shopper. That means all my piece were bought on the secondary market and I would only buy 5-20 year old pieces! (No new Ceramic GMT for me! - maybe a sapphire GMT but definately holes cases!). I want value.

    I think I would realise the following prices:-
    Vacheron Constantin 6405 - US$3,250-
    Patek Philippe Calatrava box/papers - US$13,000-
    Audemars Piguet Ultra Thin w/2003 movement boxed - US$2,000-
    Cartier Pather Large box/papers - US$1,500-
    Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grand Date - US$6,500-
    AP Royal Oak 2 Tone Quartz - US$3,500-
    Omega Speedmaster Professional w/1171 bracelet boxed - US$1650-
    TOTAL REALISED US$31,400-

    With these funds I am considered the following Rolex pieces:-
    President no diamonds 18238 US$11,000-
    DateJust TT Diamonds 16233 US$3,500-
    DateJust 16234 US$3,000-
    Submariner No Date US$3,250-
    Submariner 16610 US$4,500-
    GMT Sapphire US$4,000-
    APPROX US$30,000-

    On the Ladies front:-
    Patek 24 - should swap into a Diamond dial Ladies President 69178
    The 2 Cartier pieces should swap immediately for a DateJust Two Tone sapphire and also a Steel Oyster no date.

    Please give me your opinions! AM I CRAZY?

                        TS photos seems familiar...think had been seeing it times and again.time to change new pics...
                        累了才放慢脚步; 错了才想到后悔;苦了才懂得满足;伤了 才明白坚强; 醉了才知道难忘 ; 笑了才体会美丽!

                        是否我沉默了,你才能听到我的心声?是否我停止了,你才能看到我的眼泪?是否我心碎了,你才会摸到我的心痛?是否我消失了,你才会知道我的存在?

                            don't sell any! your collection is stunning! you should totally add to it. every single one is a keeper in my opinion. so i think you should raise funds elsewhere. like for example selling a kidney, used underwear or even your wife!

                              In a previous thread, the TS wrote that the PP and VC are from his father and grandfather. The other watches were to mark various milestones of his life etc.

                              I wouldn't sell this collection for "meaningless" rolexes.
