Hi guys, I have a TC Submariner that I haven’t worn for a while, and I’m wondering if it’s time to let it go. I’ve realized since the release of VSF and CF that I prefer wearing modern Sub/GMTs and Daytonas compared to the 5-digit ones. Do you think I’d be making a mistake? I haven’t seen a TC on sale for a while, and that’s why I’m questioning if it's a good idea or not, even considering its availability on the market in the future. Am I crazy?
If you sell it and change your mind you may find it hard to find another one. For the immediate future there will always be decent versions of the 6 digit ceramic subs. That is not the same for the older 5 digits.

Yes

You are crazy.

Except it would probably make another person pretty happy.

You got the point C. Honestly I can’t remember the last time I saw one for sale in the last few months, that is my biggest concern. What if I change my mind? Odds to find a new one?

I think there has been two or so for sale in the last month but I think both were reserved. So they do pop up sometimes.
The biggest thing you are forgetting is that the 5 digit stuff is better than the ceramic stuff and it’s just a matter of time before you come crawling back when you come to your senses 😆

I would normally agree with you but for some unknown reason 6digit growth so much in me at the point to put aside everything else. Things is that every time I wear my TC I immediately miss the ceramic and start to think things like "well it's so much lighter", "it doesn't shine like 904L", "overall finishing seems lower compared to VSF/CF" etc. On the other hand I think "but it's more fascinating", "vsf/cf are the result of a mass production while TC is somehow a niche"... I don't really know. It's gone too far from a mere personal taste. Ok fine, I have definitely gone crazy.

You can solve the crazy problem by selling TC to me🤪

There were a few recently before the Certified rule came into place. People were selling stuff they were holding onto before the 1st of September. My guess is they will become less frequent.

Cmon C! you should be of help and supportive, not joining my regrets! :ROFLMAO:
Oh they are all great, super, fantastic :)

P.S. do not sell your TC. I am biased. I sold one and regretted it. I paid a lot more to get another one.
