Doxa watchesvintage5/2/2024 ![]() So, deciding what has to go to make space for a new one requires some thought. But it’s a damn good rule, as left unmonitored, I freely admit I would have no discipline. To be frank, it is by mutual agreement, imposed on me by my nearest and dearest.

While it might seem easy, my decision to sell a watch is based on evolving needs and preferences. And whilst there would always be watches we should have hung on to, some models need to be moved on. However painful, we acknowledged that the transition of beloved timepieces was often part of collecting fabric. In the loosely connected previous part of these two features - Watches We Wish We Hadn’t Sold – the WatchGecko authors came clean and confessed to the watches they once owned and regretted parting with.
