My proceeds will be going to an Omega as well. The Aqua Terra Terracotta. Should arrive at my AD in September.

The wearing experience of my PRX is why I’m selling mine as well. Absolutely love the watch on its own, but I put it on my wrist and it’s just to chunky with the squared case for my small wrist.

I feel the same way. If it’s not getting worn, it should move on and be appreciated by someone who will wear it.

So true. They can always be bought back. My Cartier Tank was a 10 year wedding anniversary gift from my wife so I would never sell that one. We don’t normally get each other big gifts like that but it was 2020 during the pandemic and we couldn’t throw a party or go on vacation so we used the money for gifts instead.

My oldest son got his first watch just a couple weeks ago. It’s a Bluey watch.
