I managed to find pictures of the reps that have been foolishly sold by the fool typing this and have been cause of regret and mild depression.
You got your own few that you regret selling? Got a pic? Post 'em!
My beloved Trevor (miss him too) V5 PO that I had serviced by 16610 or 14060? (I think that was his username) in Texas. Stupidly sold it, went back on my word as a the noob I was, refunded the buyer the money... and then
sold it again less than two days later. This was on my first few months, 2011-ish. I've obviously grown to the point that new members think I'm a mod.
You've heard me yap about this one lately, a Silix 6694.
This kermit was a build by someone who I don't remember who they were. Had a swiss ETA and the crystal was GS hypo cement'ed onto the case. It was a cool watch.
I have always loved 16613's. Loved the perfect blue mixing with the perfect gold two tone. Why the hell do I always sell them?! I think this was when BP started doing SD's and Sub's.
This Connery 6538 was commissioned by me to another member who I can't even remember. Obviously, the big 007 fan in me had to take a picture of it with my PPK airgun. Had a leather strap to replicate the way Sean Connery wore it in Dr. No. You guys know me, probably my first Bond build. Preceded my 5513 Live and Let Die Roger Moore Sub.
This was a cheapy $50 quartz cheapie that I got on the M2M here. Turns out it was the rep of an Oris "Speedmaster". Somewhat rare and not easily found. Miss the damn thing.
This Coke GMT that I thought was the best thing I had until it conked out on me like three days later. Have never liked DG2813's since.
One that I have been looking for the longest and I finally found a second one that is getting overhauled as I type this. I love this dial. My favorite Daytona.
Ah, always the Omega fan boy. This A7750 Seamaster that I think I also got from Trevor (?) (maybe Tony?) Sold it, regretted it. Years later got real lucking and bought another one. Guess what happened to that one? Right.
The best for last. The biggest mistake ever. This Seiko I got as a gift from someone years before my rep days. Those who know Seiko know what this is. If you don't, this is a Seiko 6105-8000, introduced in 1968 to replace the famous 62MAS diver. I think I sold it for like $300 back in the day... It's a $1,500 watch. It was a $1,500 then. What an ignorant little TWAT I was. No idea that I should CHECK EBAY AND THE MARKET TO SEE WHAT ITS FUCKEN WORTH. WHAT AN IDIOT.

That's that. If you excuse me, I'm going to go drink some rum.
