Do I keep it?

Mar 05, 2018,08:04 AM
 

ive got a good size collection and periodically think about selling some to refocus more on vintage. My Fifty Fathoms is always in the cusp. Do I keep it or sell it? 

It is such a “different” watch when compared to my other sport watches. Kinda big, very shiny, maybe a bit over the top...

Then no wind it, the most silky smooth wind of any in my 40+ collection!  I just it it on and kinda like the slightly clunky look. 

I’m still on the fence but today it stays.

It really stood out when released in 2003, the first appearance of the sapphire bezel 👍 If only there would lesser words on the dial 😗 Cheers Henrik
