Just wondering if you ever buy a watch without the intention of selling or flipping :s22: Not trolling :s13:

Have. My 2254, black bay, 1680 sub, speedy 145.022 and mm300. Strictly not for sale Haha. Mostly slightly harder to find models.
Maybe mm300 sbdx001 not say hard to find. Got thought of selling but I always tell myself in a collection, must have a solid seiko and the only one that I really like it mm300 so yea. It's gonna stick.

I think some watches he clearly buy to flip. Don't think he buys all his watches with intention to sell/flip but he is open to sell/flip (which he has), and so far never heard him mention of any watch that he plans to keep for life.

Speaking from what I reckon of GX, though obviously I stand corrected by the man himself. :D

Edit: Kena corrected already LOL

Looks like your keepers are all Divers expect Speedy. Its weird that as a serial flipper you choose to keep those that potentially can fetch more because of their rarity. Interesting :s8:

maybe it means despite all the flipping, he is afterall a watch appreciator, and those models happens to be of value and worth keeping...

2254 is discontinued
Black Bay is rare (rose logo)
ok not sure abt the other 3 liao, thats the limit of my knowledge :s13:

I think The Rolex is vintage, same as his speedy.

Mm also EOL for that version.

For life. Hard to say. Later borrow loanshark, means must sell. Some buy is to sell for profit. To buy more watches.
Keep as long as I can are those I mentioned lor.
Till one day someone come knocking.
As for keeping for kids. No intention yet cause not even married to begin with haha

My first love is divers cause suit my lifestyle. I don't dive though. I like the look of it. As for speedy, moonwatch, need me to say more? Haha.
And ya I would keep all those harder to find models. Wear alr more shiok. Cause you won't see a street of people wearing the same thing as you. More Satki lolol
Both my rolex and speedy are considered vintage. Watch older than me. Gone thru more than me. Makes it interesting to keep.
2254 cause I last time aim but cannot afford. Then when I see it now again and can afford means mtl. Tudor cause got faux vintage feel and it's alot of watch for the price.
MM300 eol liao. No signed crown. A keeper. 2nd hand found in Japan below 1.8k.

Indigo is right, prefer all those discon models.
The rest modern pieces. Easy come easy go. So have fun with it. Maybe in the mean time gain some profit and buy more.

Next to keep target is 5513. So near yet so far. No money and don't have a piece that i like. Have also too ex. Sigh Haha. First world problem.
