Should I have it fixed ๐Ÿค”

As mention in my last few posts, I'm leaning towards giving the Blue Bay 36 a chance as my Exit-Watch. So I'm saving..

The vintage Bullhead was an impulse buy this summer and I definitly overpayed for it. The chronograph hand does not zero out like it should and needs a service that will cost me about what I expect to get for it in working order.ย 

Should I just cut my losses and sell it as is and put the money in the bank ๐Ÿ–? Or should I spruce it up and keep it? Meaning a bit longer before getting the BB36 ๐Ÿค”

But when I look at that Bullhead that's too small and too thick, I'm still ย like โฌ‡๏ธ

(Even though I'm pretty sure it's not gonna stay with me for long.. Or will it?! Will it grow on me? Could it be my precoius? Who knows right?)

Servicing mechanical chronographs is expensive, ย I would cut your losses & sell it on!

You're probably right. But I got a hobbyist that helps me out i bit cheaper. Still....

either way it's a great looking watch...

Even though I hate bullheads, the answer is always fix. Could you seriously buy another one, in freshly serviced condition, for the price of the service? Of course not. Cheaper to keep her.

About the same... But I will have a newly serviced watch if I do the repair route ๐Ÿค” But I won't get it back when and if I decide to get rid of it..

Personally I say keep it and service it. But if you intend to sell, I say sell as is. I know keeping it would mean waiting longer for a grail, but its a pretty sweet little watch.ย
