What do you do with watches that don't sell?

I've got 2 watches that I've been trying, admittedly not very hard, to sell. I've come to the conclusion that in order to sell them, I'd have to drop...

BB58 too small for 7.5" wrist?

I'm considering a BB58. (why is it a BB58? Shouldn't it be a BB 39?) I tried it on and think I could swing it, maybe a tad small. What say you? Is the...

Hmm, I wasn't aware it has a silicon balance spring. Learn something new all the time!

Have you checked to see if it somehow got magnetized? That'd be the 1st thing I'd look at. You can get a compass and a demagnetizer on amazon for around $15

I'm a big fan of the seaq. What a great looking piece! Rolex? What is that?

commented on So I bought a Tudor. I know, I know... let me explain ·

Love the Pelagos! Congrats on both!

Oh, btw, your buddy at the pool - A nice tool watch might be perfect for him, cause' he sure sounds like a tool.

I'm fortunate. I have a couple of watches that I love, like my Sinn 104, that no street thug would ever pay any attention to. I really don't feel like I'm making a compromise when I wear them. If I know I'm going to be somewhere that could be the least bit sketchy, I just wear those. For me, it's like any other watch selection I make in the morning -  swimming? diver. Physical activity/working on the house? beater. Dinner out? dress watch. Unknown? Sinn. 

I have lived in the city for many years. Crime is high here. I feel like I've got some pretty good street smarts. Situational awareness goes a long way to avoiding being a victim. 

commented on What’s your success rate with ordering straps online? ·

Sadly I have a box full of them and probably 20% get regular wrist time. It's just so easy to buy them when they are $15 to $35, but it starts to add up. I don't even want to know how much that box of failed experiments has cost me. 

commented on Has your opinion changed about date function on your watch ? ·

I like a day, I even like a day/date, although several of my watches don't have them.
