Let me make this clear, I am not offering a TC for sale and this is not a “fishing for a backdoor sale” post.
So my activity on the Rep forums has been much less lately as I have been busy with other things and find due to usual market trends and currency exchange variations that the cost of many of the Reps that interest me are a touch high these days when compared with modestly priced Gens.
My current collection is now under 10 including both Reps and budget Gens and I haven’t bought a Rep in over a year.
So I have often assessed my small collection and regularly consider selling them off simply as I am not wearing them and the longer I leave it the less they will be worth due to the constant issuing of new versions.
So the biggest dilemma I have had has been whether to sell my TC as it is my most valuable watch and my concern was that it will one day be worthless due to the new models being offered by the various factories.
Now with the others most are only worth a few hundred dollars so I have likely already enjoyed more than that in value so I’m not worried about moving them but the TC was different for several reasons being (1) that it was not cheap, (2) it was a replacement for an earlier TC that I sold and regretted selling (3) I waited for six months to get it from TC at a time when speculation was rampant that we were not going to get our watches as TC had disappeared off the Radar, I had never doubted that TC would deliver but the speculation and panic from various members added to the overall buying experience & most significantly (4) I will likely never be able to get another and even more likely that I’ll never be able to buy one direct from TC.
So after much procrastination and preparing a for sale listing at least three times I have now decided that I will keep it regardless if it’s interest from the hobby and value diminishes as I’m sure that I will regret it if I sell it.
So as I have not been as active on the forums recently and haven’t kept up with the various threads my question is this, Are the TC Subs still in high standing amongst the 5 Digit Sub fans given the newer offerings such as the JF and possibly other factories?
I’m really asking for general perceptions as the old “TC” killer thread pretty much covers the detailed stuff but I’m more interested in how people perceive the TC’s today.
