What would you do.... build the project or sell off???

[LegendofSpeed]

Ok... My personal favorite watch is the 063... and the 029 is a close second.... so obviously, owning a 2893-2 has been a dream of mine since entering this hobby....

Well, I have now acquired a 2893-2 powered 063... along with it came a watchman cyclops (considered the best out), a jimmyfu CG, gen crown, and I have the datewheel in the mail and on the way...

So, my question to the board is this.... I also have in my possession an 029 and a donor watch that has the 2893-2 movement to swap over... I also have another gen crown in hand and a cyclops on the way... i have another datewheel reserved... i would need to get a DSN hands set (or source a gen hands set if possible) to complete the project.... I have a lot of projects in the works so I am on the fence about this one....

Should I complete the 029 too and have two gmt's or sell it off to pay for my other project mods and let someone else have access to this beauty?

Let me know! Thanks everyone!

I personaly think you should build it then decide if you love it over time. I have sold many a watch that I wish I still had, and one like this sounds like one you would want to keep.

I have always wanted a 029. I missed a few on the forum but want one even more now that the rep
I was wearing died. (196) I loved that watch. Good Luck with the project!

My suggestion, LOS, is that you should really move out of the basement of your parents' house, put away your watch collection for a while, and try to meet a girl. Just a thought.

Hmmm... i think my beautiful wife would have a problem with me meeting another girl...

and before you ask, yes she does have a brother she can set you up with...

hugs and kisses!

LOS, regardless of how real she may look (and feel), a Real Doll is NOT, in fact, a real woman. And she is certainly not a real wife, notwithstanding how well she may be able to fulfill her "wifely duties."

As long as the brother has some rather peculiar fetishes I'm sure Seanf is in like flint.

hmmm... i dunno, she looks pretty real to me... maybe i have delusions of grandeur just like you my friend...

we can only tell if she is really real if you post some more pics of her.....naked !

you owe it to your forum !.....smile

built the watch....like it.....keep it....if not....sell it !

easy as that....keep the wife - she is a beauty !

Well... one more listing in rep sales becomes available to me tomorrow... so I think I am going to list what I have for this project... i have come to the conclusion that i'm not interested in owning two gmt's... and will seek to put some funds together for a santos chrono 7753...
