I loved the watch. Possibly one of the most perfectly proportioned watches I've ever come across. It was gorgeous. But I wasn't wearing it. It's sort of like owning a Ferrari but putting 50 miles a year on it. My lifestyle at the moment doesn't require a dress watch. That may be different 10 years from now and then I'll regret selling it. But at the moment it's a lot of money tied up in something just to keep it on my dresser.
Damn. You made the right choice, and it's a tough one to do. I have quite a few pieces that I should have sold a long time ago for the same reason. Hope you didn't take too much of a hit (in terms of recouping your investment) on reselling it.
Separately, I have also been eyeing a heavy hitting dress watch to go into my rotation (probably a JLC), and although I have a white collar job where I do need to dress up from time to time, I still struggle with the idea of spending a ton of cash on a watch that would be too dressy for me 80-90% of the time (as my current rotation of sports watches cover me from casual up through semi-formal). So I see your point.
The only thing I would change is I would have held on to that JLC Deep Sea Chronograph. I'll probably pick that back up at some point to replace the Speedy. The Speedy is a nice watch but it's a bit too generic for me,
These are my main 4 at the moment. I have a few others that are more ‘affordable’ but those are always changing. I’ll see if I can get a pic with them posted a bit later as well.

Great looking collection. The IWC is gorgeous. What band is the watch on? Is that the stock band or did you swap it out for something else?

Thought now would be a good time to update. As I stated in the other thread I think I'm finally in a good spot. I'm content with everything there and don't know what I'd get rid of. I do want a few other watches but can wait on those for a bit. I also have a GShock that's not pictured.

Awesome collection of watches. I like that IWC. I was thinking of purchasing one for a while, but ended up going with the Rolex Sub.
Great collection. IWC makes a handsome watch though some purists shit on the brand. I think their font is just pleasing to the eye which makes me want one.
Dang I've been sleeping on this thread. Love the collections guys. I'll post mine when I get a chance. Just have the sub in for service so maybe it'll be after that
