What do you do with reps you never wear?

[Netniet]

I am about to buy a very nice gen PAM 177, and besides my gen 5513 I probably will almost never wear another watch again.
I have a very small collection (only 4) PAM's which I really like, and are getting rarer. The 243 and the 127 are my all time favorites.
There is a high probability that when I sell them I will regret it, and therefore I will keep them.

What do you guys do? Wear the gens, and keep the reps in a watchbox?


My small PAM collection:

Well I expect the answers tp be either the extremes "sell them" or "keep them as safe queens" or the middle ground "rotate them as much as possible".

Keep buying them, buy them for their “story”. A watch with history and a lil something to talk about goes a long way, rep and gen. Wear as often as you can and enjoy em!

I keep them as well, I have 12 Boxy watch winder, so I keep them there, I try my best to switch between as much as possible and enjoy them, a similar story to macarone.

For now I will not sell them.The 127 and 390 will probably be my next projects. I am thinking about doing the same mods Marlin does to the movement’s myself.

For me personally, everything can always change. The watch may lie unclaimed, and then there will be a desire to put it on. I never regret a sold or lost, in general I try not to regret it, but if I had the opportunity, I would keep almost all the replicas that fell into my hands, regardless of what else I buy. There are never too many watches!

Keep the 243. I regret selling mine so much and hope noob does a re-run (which they won't).
