There are a number I would sell if I had the energy to deal with it, but not the ones for which some here might stand in line.
    Are you looking at me and the Zenith?
    Solve all your doubts through question mode.

    Not specifically. But that one, along with the Art Deco that several people have looked at with lust in their hearts, wouldn't be on the sell list.

    You do remember me calling dibs on the Silver Snoopy though, right? I must say I was caught a little off-guard when you offered it to me. That was very thoughtful of you. @mlcor

    Well, if you're willing to meet or beat the current market price, I'd consider it.

    Only £31k at Watchfinder on a bracelet. Thats a mere $40k.

    It could be nuisance, owning that watch. I’d be tempted to sell it, but would it go higher still? These prices can make you forget about wearing things because you like them.

    Are you sure it's the same model? It didn't come on a bracelet, only on the (very nice) strap with deployant.

    Prices have actually come down slightly on it, but not as much as some other pricey watches have declined. I paid a fraction of that price, of course, I would never have bought it for anywhere near what they're selling for now. I mean, it's really kind of nuts...

    I do want the watch, but getting it would cost me my wife and that is a trade I’m not willing to make. However, if you send me the watch, I will gladly pay the shipping.

    Wouldn't your wife be slightly insulted if she found out she was only worth $48k? Perhaps you could get two watches in trade, at least?
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Mrs. Skywatch and I were up in the Bay Area yesterday, and had a chance to visit our friend who initiated this thread with his gifts. He managed to find the charging clamp for the AlpinerX HR, so I got it charged last night, and managed to sync it to my phone. It's quite a nifty package! It gets weather and counts steps, heartrate and all sorts of things. Extra bright clear color display, too. I don't need a smartwatch, and it's huge, but cool.

    What is it, 45mm? Definitely not dainty...
