Keep or sell?

The wife has never worn this watch, should I just sell it? Keep it? Or pass it on to the kids??

Dang…unworn? Does she just not like it or does she consider it too valuable to wear? Definitely take her lead on what she wants to do.

My first thoughts are that it's her watch, so it's her choice.

Assuming she is happy with all of the options, then I'd sell it.

If she's not wearing it then there is no point in holding on to it.

If you pass it on to the kids, what memories are attached to it for them? It's just something that their mother owned but never used.

If you sell it, you can see if the money can towards a watch that she might enjoy wearing, or towards something else.

Beautiful watch, but if it doesn't float her boat then flog it. Shame. 😢

I mean yea if she is cool with selling it sell it.

Don’t know, never asked!

Ask her what she wants to do with it. Maybe your kids will want it one day, I still wear my mother’s watch (she never really wore it) and I have a friend who was gifted her mothers’ Cartier watch for her wedding - she was so happy.

Asked her many things in life and most the time it’s the same responses “ don’t know what do you think?”. So I have given up long ago asking, I guess I will have to think about it but the hand me down ( or wedding gift )idea is good 👍

She never really had the chance ( I think ) its not a everyday watch so…..

It’s a beautiful piece. If you sell maybe she can get something else that she can enjoy daily (a purse?). I would think an unworn vintage Cartier could bring a decent return.

Side note if you’re serious about selling I’ll ask my wife if she wants it 😅

.trade it in for…..like what?…..a new husband maybe 🤣🤣🤣

I think it's a beauty, but I would likely sell it if there's no sentimental attachment.

Keep it. Always keep it.

Happy to explain.

It's a valuable watch that - as you said - could be passed on to the kids. Imagine receiving a Cartier watch that your dad gave to your mom, whether or not she wore it. It could be one of those heirloom watches that stays in the family, and YOU started it!

As an aside, my M.O. is always to keep my watches. My watch collection has a one-way valve, so my default is always keep.
