    Which one would you sell?

    As it happens, my name is now top of the list for an aquanaut at the worst possible (financially) time.
    I need to sell something to part fund it and I'm really struggling to decide.
    It's really just between a ck2998, reverso rose gold, and (maybe) a yacht master.
    Some old (bad as usual) photos:

    Have to be honest - never been a fan of that specific Rolex.

    5167 I presume????? Tempted to get rid of my SS Daytona for one if I can get on a list

    Omega. Never liked it. Bought and sold mine within a week......both at RRP before you ask!
    On the other hand, the 5167 is lovely.��

    Speedmaster, doubtless.


    The other two exude class. The omega isn't in the same county, never mind the same ballpark!

    Sell the Omega. The platinum dial Yacht-Master and Reverso are too good to lose.

    It has to be the Omega to go.

    I would sell all three if i was raising the funds for the Nautilus, I personally do not think any of the. Would be too difficult to obtain again in the future.

    Yep, Omega would be my choice as well. Never been a major fan.

    I don't think the Speedmaster compares at all well to the other two. If it were my decision, that would be the one to go.

    Which one gets the least wrist time? That has to be the prime candidate.

    As others have said the one you wear least. Having said that don't JLC's take a hit on resale? I'd guess you want to sell the one with least depreciation or at least highest resale value . To my mind it would be the Rollie as much prefer Subs and Explorer 2 models.

    I it was me, I'd let the Rolex go as it would be the easiest of the three to replace if I missed it.

    I'll be a sheep and say Omega too. The Rolex is good enough and the Reverso, well, it's a Reverso and deserves to stay. It'll be one hell of a trio whatever you decide

    Easy decision if it was me; lose the Omega!

    There's only one full-size Speedy worth owning IMO and that has to be the Moonwatch. Anything else is contrived and just doesn`t hold any appeal for me.

    The Reverso is nice, and it's unusual. I`f I liked it enough to buy originally I'd keep that one for definite.

    The Rolex is a hard one. I`ve fancied a Yachtmaster myself a couple of times, but that bezel would always worry me and I'd hardly wear the thing. If it gets damaged it's expensive. Having said that, I wish I`d never parted with any Rolex, simply because they do hold their value and (usually) increase in price over time. It's almost worth keeping for that reason alone, it'll never lose money.

    Of the three watches you post photos of - the only one I would keep is the JLC Reverso - I would sell the Omega and the Rolex Yachtmaster.

    Easy choice for me: Omega, then if you need the funds the Rolex - keep that JLC it's unusual and looks just great.

    Quite a mixed response. Probably the Omega for me too to be honest, and I actually quite like it.

  30. #30
    Personally, I'd just hold on to them and wait for something better than an Aquanaut.

    Getting a 15202 Royal Oak would be a different story, however. I'd pass on the Patek and put my name up for one of those instead. :)

    I don't think you'd need the Yachtmaster if you had an Aquanaut so I'd say Rolex for the chop.

    Nope, you'd be better keeping because

    I'd lose the reverso. That shape has never done it for me.

    Difficult choice. I'd sell the speedy and the Rolex.

    But I would hold on for a Nautilus rather the Aquanaut.

    I want to say sell the Reverso but I won't as I can't access the sales forum yet!!!

    But in all seriousness the other two are the only candidates for selling in my opinion.

    That would be my choice also. There are nicer sports Rolexes (Rolices?) or Speedmasters than those. The JLC is pure class.

    The Reverso would have to stay.

    Not a huge fan of that particular Omega or the Yachtmaster but perhaps let the Yachtmaster go first as easier to replace than the Omega if you get flippers remorse

    All three out of my price range so decision based purely on looks which means the Rolex would be first out the door.

    Rolex. It looks a bit washed out.

    The Omega and the Reverso would stay if it were me. I just can't see the appeal of the Yatch-Master. That said I can't see the appeal of the aquanaut either.

    This. Out of the other two I'd personally chop in the Rolex, it's a bit too shiny shiny for my liking.

    What a response! Thank you all. As far as wrist time goes, I've only had the YM for less than a week; I was uncertain to start but it's now growing on me, it has a look that none of my other watches has.
    The CK has been wore for probably 2/3 weeks and I haven't had that one for long either. The reverso is probably the one that gets most wear because I have to wear a suit at work and it kind of goes.
    I don't want to sell any of them!!
    Someone mentioned waiting for something better like a Nautilus.
    I had a 5711 that I sold recently and, as much as I liked it, it was just killing my love for watches because I was wearing it pretty much every day...
    I'm really surprised for the reverso love in the forum.
    Shall I just pass on the aquanaut?

    I would ditch the Omega.

    The Yachtmaster in that configuration is a classic.

    The JLC is very cool and worthy of a slot in anybodies collection.

    I don't remember, I'd have to check. It was discontinued/updated just before I bought it and that's why I got a very good price on it.

    I would say the Omega as well (and I'm a fan usually). I just don't like this version of the Speedmaster.
