E. When I realize I'm no longer getting the enjoyment I used to or hoped to from a watch. Not all the time, not never, but also not (hopefully) out of desperation.
I would rather give them away. I loathe the idea of dealing with strangers to make a deal happen. That said, if I had a friend I trusted who really wanted a watch I no longer wear, I'd be more open.
Careful adds to my collection reduces the need to sell. I don't treat my collection like a money machine either by selling to buy something else. Watch money stays watch money; if I do sell (rare) it's because I've upgraded a similar piece.

I'm not a serial flipper , but I have sold watches on occasion. And not because I needed the money. They just weren't being worn.
