How about the ones that got away in 2023

We’ve seen some “what I got this year” or SOTC posts… what about the ones you sold and traded and how you feel about it now?

I sold my LE Lorier X Worn & Wound Hydra to fund my Hyperion II, also from Lorier. I miss the old one but the Hyperion gets worn a ton more!

Lorier makes some great pieces. I regret sleeping on the black Hydra...

I regret letting the Kurono Tokyo Hisui Chronograph get away. I loved everything about it but I had already made another big purchase so felt guilty about buying another watch.

Same. Every time I see one I feel a little twinge. But also could not justify it at the time.

Actually just sold my Hyperion SII, nice watch but wasn't wearing it much. Hope you're enjoying yours, and we'll see if I come to regret selling mine!

Sold a lot of my collection when I decided to move to a theee watch collection my aqua tera and my seamaster are the two I regret selling. I’m pleased with the three I decided to get but along the way picked up a seiko diver collection so I still don’t have just 3 and I don’t have my seamasters either 🙄 I couldn’t have got the sinn or the GS without selling them and they make up an ideal 3 with my speedmaster as a concept but all in all wish I hadn’t sold them and now I’m saving to get at least one back

Too big on my wrist, too hard to read for my eyeballs. Weak lume, no AR coating. Good riddance!

I also let an Alpinist and 1st gen Monster go. Though I have doubles of both I still ponder if I should've kept them because we're sick like that.

I sold my SARB033 for a fair non-inflated/hyped price. Felt good it went to someone who can give it more wrist time and appreciation than I did owning it for 5 yrs.

I didn't sell anything in 2023. Will probably sell or give away a couple of lower end pieces early in 2024 and I won't have any regrets doing so. Between the three watches, they've probably been worn a combined 2-3x this entire year.
