I miss my last PRS-20C Californian.
Still seeking a replacement, or that one back!!! :0(
I only miss one.
Not bothered about the traditional Speedmaster, Explorer or any of the others.
However I do miss the 1977 Quartz LCD Speedmaster Professional 186.0004.
I knew when I sold it that it was highly unlikely I would ever get another but I was really short of cash.
I loved wearing it in a GGB NASA velcro strap and think about it often.
I regret part exchanging my lovely 2006 Rolex Air King for a JLC Gran Sport which I hated and lost a lot of money on 6 months later.

For me only 1 and one it’s not well liked on the forum. An U Boat Classico 45mm, my first expensive watch and 30th birthday present whilst in NYC. Didn’t wear it much probably 2-3 times a month once I bought my Panerai & Tudor. (Was a daily for 3yrs). Sold last year to finance some home improvements. Only a couple £100 lost as well. Probably the one watch that got most compliments when worn. Did contact the buyer who was unhelpful as sold it on and very rude. Oh well.

One that always springs to mind is my Rolex 6263. That was £790 brand new back in 1988.

I don't regret any watch sales but then I really think about it before I sell anything, saying that I have several that if I did sell I know I would kick myself forever and a day.
Once I sold a telescope that I instantly regretted, its a rare scope and kept by collectors, I think that experience has made me second guess every sale, I also thought about selling my E30 M3 when I moved home many years ago, I think the going rate then for a good one was around £6k Luckily I kept it..
Seiko 6159-7000, bought in beat up condition at a car boot,)£10. sold for what seemed a good price after I couldn’t get it fixed up locally. Now worth crazy money and I wish I’d had it properly restored.
Deeply regret selling my 1675 in August 2018.
Also gnash my teeth over a Kermit, a black dialled Daytona and a couple of vanilla-lumed Speedy Pros. But without rotation I could not have owned them all.

Kicked myself a few times for selling a Timefactors PRS 10 that was bought in 2005. No photos taken of that watch but still have and use the broadarrow torch purchased around the same time.
Has to be my first 14060m & a superb full set 2254, has gone downhill ever since!
Probably more sentimental for me but my first Damasko DA47 black and a Kemmner Octopus. Those were some of the first watches I bought when I saw the light regarding watches.
Seiko SARG001 "white alpinist", probably the nicest watch I had. Beautiful white cream dial, 40mm, rare catch...impossible to find now, dont know what I was thinking...

I stupidly sold a 16610 and a 216570 - those and my omega Planet Ocean 2500 were the biggest regrets
That said, I have a gmt 16700 and a newer titanium 8500 PO so don't feel too sorry for me

I sold a black dial Tag Heuer F1 on here years ago. Would love to get it back

Only real regret was selling a Seiko MM600 close to ten years ago, finally got around to replacing this year and still chuffed with it
I miss my old SBDX001 Marinemaster.
I needed to raise funds for another watch and it was a choice between that or my Sinn UX, the UX stayed (though was sold later anyway) as I thought it to be the better watch from a technical POV. I should have kept the MM300 as it was that one that had the character I now value in a watch.
I sold an Omega 2594 (the rarer chrono version of the 2254) about 3 years ago for not much money. I do miss that as it was a perfect watch, but trying to find one within budget and condition now is not easy!
My Sinn 857UTC. Should never have sold it.
I’m broken, broken I tell you. Now I’m too poor to buy one when they do eek out of the sales woodwork. I can’t go on, I’m finished. It’s all too much. Will I never be reconciled to my 857? Will God himself not allow me to be in black, white and ‘odd yellow’-dialled harmony?!
I fear not. 😢
Sinn EZM1 is the watch I regret selling the most. I bought it pre owned had it for just over a year when the Lemania movement developed a fault. At the time in 2003 the only way to get it repaired properly was to send it to Sinn Germany.
I emailed them to get some info of the procedure to send it to them but never got any response even after resending the message. In the end I sold it to a work colleague who is German and regularly goes back home.
